Details
From information gathering to shopping to wanting to connect or be entertained, more and more of our daily interactions take place online. This class will focus on the craft, style, and strategy of writing compelling brand copy for the web.
Through weekly assignments, you'll learn how to carry concepts past headlines, recreate real-life sensations online, and craft copy that lingers in the consciousness long after the user has left a site. Copywriters new or seasoned will find techniques to move effective communication from the printed page to the Web and mobile devices.
In this class, you will learn how to:
- Write benefit-driven web copy that's both engaging and succinct
- Create copy for social networks and curated content for branded communities
- Talk with art directors about new digital options
- Figure out which media (traditional or new) is best for your marketing message
- Adapt your style for social media messaging, mobile content, or a proper landing page
By the end of class, you will have:
Experience (and portfolio samples) to apply to web, mobile and social media copywriting.
