It’s World Copywriter’s Day, which means it’s finally time to answer the question copywriters hear all the time: “So, what exactly do copywriters do?”
Well, they write the words brands use to make themselves stand out among the masses.
Social captions, websites, blogs, emails, newsletters, taglines, those little buttons you click on to make things happen? Someone had to write them. And it was most likely a copywriter.
But good copywriting takes more than slapping words on a page.
Every sentence has a job to do. Maybe it needs to explain something complicated without making your eyes glaze over. Maybe it needs to make you laugh. Maybe it needs to convince you to click, call, buy, donate, sign up or simply remember the brand five minutes later.
That takes strategy, judgment and a pretty solid understanding of human emotion. AI may be able to string words together, but it’ll never take the place of the people behind the pens.
