Copywriting is often misunderstood as simply putting words on paper, but at TDG Marketing, we know it's much more. Our Copywriter, Carli, has been with us for over a decade, and she wears many hats in her role. Just like our graphic designers (featured in the previous blog…if you haven’t read it yet, check it out next!), copywriting is a vital role on our team, requiring a plethora of skills, knowledge, and expertise to deliver exceptional results that leave our clients in awe. So, let’s pull back the curtain and shed light on what it takes to be a copywriter in our fast-paced and ever-evolving industry.

The Copywriter is...

👉Wordsmiths:

At its core, copywriting is about crafting compelling and persuasive messages. Copywriters must have a way with words, selecting each one carefully to convey the intended message effectively. They are masters of language, able to adapt their tone and style to suit different brands and target audiences.

👉 Research Gurus:

Copywriters don't just write; they research. They delve deep into a subject, gathering information to create content that is not only engaging but also accurate and informative. Whether it's a blog post, product description, or marketing campaign, research is the foundation upon which compelling copy is built.

👉Puzzle Solvers:

Every piece of content is like a puzzle waiting to be solved. Copywriters need to fit together ideas, facts, and emotions to create a cohesive narrative. They work with the rest of the team to identify the unique selling propositions of a product or service and weave them into a story that resonates with the audience.

👉Brand Ambassadors:

Copywriters are not only responsible for writing but also helping to maintain brand consistency. They must understand the brand's voice, tone, and values and ensure that these are reflected in every piece of content they create. Consistency is key to building brand recognition and trust.

👉 Message Conveyors:

In the noisy world of marketing, copywriters have to cut through the clutter. They distill complex ideas into concise, impactful messages that grab the audience's attention. Whether it's a catchy tagline or a powerful call to action, copywriters know how to make words work.

👉 Storytellers:

Stories resonate with people. Copywriters are skilled storytellers, able to create narratives that evoke emotions and connect with the audience on a personal level. They know that a well-told story can make a brand unforgettable.

👉 Creatives:

Like our previously highlighted graphic designers, copywriters have an innate creative spark. They bring fresh ideas to the table, thinking outside the box to develop unique concepts and approaches. It's this creativity that sets exceptional copywriters apart.

👉 Editors:

AND just as a graphic design loses impact with errors, so does copy. Copywriters meticulously proofread and edit their work to ensure it's free of grammatical errors, typos, and inconsistencies. Attention to detail is their superpower.

Being a copywriter is a multifaceted role that demands a unique blend of skills and expertise. Copywriters like Carli are wordsmiths, researchers, puzzle solvers, brand ambassadors, message conveyors, storytellers, creatives, and editors—all rolled into one. They play a crucial role in crafting the messages that resonate with our client's target audiences, driving engagement and conversions.
