Course Takeaways.
Copywriting isn’t just writing, and selling isn’t only for products and services. In this workshop, we will investigate the evolution and application of professional copywriting, and understand why the copywriting process (ideation) begins in the minds of copywriters, but always ends in the minds of readers (creation). We will examine the relationships between words and content, and content and consumers. You will create copywriting briefs that use consumer philosophy and social psychology to polish your drafts into professional pieces that turn passive recipients into captive audiences. You will also test your copywriting pieces across a number of different markets and mindsets to validate the true impact of your copy on your internal and external stakeholders.
On completion of this workshop, you will be able to:
Create content that serves specific consumer purposes
Build meaningful relationships between brands and buyers
Think in design-led perspectives to reach creative solutions
Extend content beyond words, to sound and visual
Prepare experiential pieces to engage digital communities
Apply consumer psychology across your content assets
Start your own copywriting and content initiatives
Course Learning Objectives.
You will learn how, and why, copywriting lives in visual and aural media. Visual research is a critical tool in the professional copywriting process for audience engagement. Speaking of audiences, as you read, so you hear — whether out loud or in the mind, your copy makes sounds. How you control this sound, whether through tone of voice or syntactic rhythm structures, will decide audience responses and transform users from passive recipients of data into active participants of your content.
Beyond the Workshop: Support doesn’t stop when the workshop is over. You will understand and continue touse the copywriting process on a professional level, and deliver core content innovation that builds strong commercial value for businesses and individuals. Your skill sets and assignments over the course of the copywriting workshop will involve examining the market in Singapore and the region for visual and aural cues on how words construct relationships with minds. At the end of this copywriting workshop you will be able to take control of the copywriting process in its entirety, and see that professional copywriting is not a group of powerful words, but a powerful group of words.
