Is your meeting at two-thirty in the afternoon, 2:30 p.m. or 2:30 PM? Are you writing an email or an e-mail? Do you use a serial comma, or not? How do you know what to capitalize? How do you number and identify the figures and tables in your report? Should you use a hyphen, an en dash or an em dash? Are these questions a bit overwhelming?
When you learn to do the same, you can use the habits of both to your advantage – whether you’re a copywriter or not. Here are just two of the tell-tale signs:
It’s natural to make the assumption. Our brains make assumptions every day.
From small businesses to large corporations, everyone has information to share. Regardless of how it’s distributed, to be effective, it needs to be well-communicated—captivating, accurate and articulate. Copywriters help businesses and organizations achieve this. Sometimes all it takes is one great line that packs a punch. Other times, the audience needs more explanation and detail. That’s where I come in.
When you hire someone inexperienced, they learn to answer those questions by using your business as a guinea pig. Because they don’t understand the marketing side of social media, it’s a huge risk for very little potential reward.
Branding, right there next to bacon. I love bacon, to be sure, when it's produced with quality and pride, but bacon got out of control. I don't love branding, per se, but I think it can (and should) be done well. I daresay that it, too, got out of control. At some point, branding, branding, branding was suddenly everywhere, like bacon, in copious quantity––quality be damned.
You see, writers are nice. And funny. They’re self-effacing, well-read and can discuss education, death, politics, gardening, existential angst or whatever else is on your mind. They all speak English really well. I wish all of them the best, but I am uncompromising about what we look for at WordsFresh.
