£97.00

New to copywriting or looking to refresh your skills? Tired of advice that sounds like it came from a robot or a soulless corporate manual? You’re in the right place! This course is your friendly guide to creating copy that connects, resonates, and drives action – all while staying true to your values.

We flip the script on traditional copywriting techniques, showing you how to inject empathy, authenticity, and heart into your messaging. Starting with the essentials, we’ll walk you through building your own Tone of Voice Guide, provide you with a handy Customer Language Swipe File, and introduce you to the foundations of great copywriting. Then, we’ll dive into the heart of purpose-driven copy: our Empathy in Copywriting module.

Here, you’ll learn how to create campaigns that truly connect with your audience, rooted in ethical and inclusive principles.

By the end of the course, you’ll not only know how to write compelling copy, but you’ll also understand how to track its impact and impress clients or team members with your newfound skills. Plus, you’ll join a supportive community where you can share your work, get valuable feedback, and grow alongside fellow aspiring copywriters.
