Crafting effective content and copy is an essential skill for anyone looking to spread a message. Whether creating content for a social media brand strategy, writing an executive brief, or developing an email campaign, writing effective copy to deliver the right content, to the right audience, at the right time, is the key to success.
This certificate program provides an opportunity to strengthen your copywriting and content writing skills. You will examine how to write content that attracts attention and engages the reader in a manner that increases the likelihood that your message is received. You will review writing commonalities that transcend content type and delivery methods. You will then explore diverse applications and practice specific writing assignments, whether writing a post for a website or social media, creating a press release or media story, or composing an email summarizing a policy change or new business opportunity. Through each course, you have the opportunity to put each concept into practice for writing types and audiences of your choice. By the end of this program, you will have developed a set of best practices to make you a better writer.
For the best experience in this program it is recommended to take these courses in the order that they appear.
