Relight that fire. Reconnect with your voice. \nAs copywriters\, we spend every day finding the right words for our clients. It’s deeply satisfying. But sometimes the tank just runs dry – we run out of inspiration. Our words start to feel flat. It’s time for a shake-up. \nThat’s what this workshop is. For one day\, we’ll put aside the keywords and content strategies\, the features and benefits\, the tone of voice guidelines\, and play with words. \nWe’ll have the space to experiment and take risks. To play with our own voices. To reconnect with why being a writer is the best damn job in the world. \nThen we can all return to our writing desks refreshed and reinvigorated. \nThe session will be run by Nick Parker\, who believes that finding your own voice as a writer is the key to writing more effectively as a copywriter.

In that case\, you’ve wasted your time and energy. \nOn the other hand\, you may have an absolutely outstanding blog\, but nobody knows about it. In that case\, well\, you’ve wasted your time and energy. \nMy CopyCon course is going to help my delegates with three things when it comes to blogging: \n\nIdeas and concepts to write about – when you’re lacking in inspiration\nStructures to follow – when you don’t know where to start\nReasons to commit – when you just don’t think blogging really works or matters\, and you don’t understand why people aren’t engaging with you\n\nOur training day (10am – 4pm) will be split into a morning and an afternoon session\, with plenty of interaction and breaks throughout. \nIn the morning session\, we’re going to explore 12 different concepts that are perfect to delve into when you’re looking to produce beautifully written blogs that people will want to read\, engage with and share. I practice what I preach\, so I’ll be sharing examples of my own blogs that fit each concept and serve as a ‘rough guide’ for structure. I’ll also be asking my delegates to examine their own blogging history – and begin creating their future content. \nIn the afternoon session\, we’re going to look at ways in which we can sharpen up our writing techniques to create seriously stunning blogs\, get our pieces web-ready\, and make sure that we position our blogs so that people feel compelled to click on that link to read more. \nTraining includes:\n\nInteractive training with practical exercises\nQ&As with trainer\nRecording of the session\nSupporting documentation\n\nThe training days are approximately 10 to 4 with plenty of breaks between practical exercises and discussions.

And the tendency is to want to sprint to the finish line as fast as possible. But a content strategy isn’t a 100m dash in a straight line. It’s a marathon on windy mountain paths. Try to sprint it and you’ll burn out or lose your way. \nIn this workshop I’ll introduce you to a simple-but-effective model that breaks the content strategy marathon down into a manageable roadmap. Through hands-on exercises I’ll also give you the tools and methods you need to leave the session and create a content strategy for your organisation\, and implement it successfully. \nWhat you will learn: \n\nContent strategy 101: what content strategy really is\, why you need one\, and how to convince senior stakeholders to support you\nContent operations 101: what it means to ‘operationalise’ your content strategy and why it matters just as much as the strategy itself\nThe three-step content strategy model: a model that breaks content strategy into three simple parts and a logical roadmap.\nStep-by-step method: a method for creating your roadmap\, with hands-on practice so you’ll feel confident going away and doing this yourself afterwards.\nTemplates and tools: templates and tools for you to take back to work and use.\n\nTraining includes:\n\nInteractive training with practical exercises\nQ&As with trainer\nRecording of the session\nSupporting documentation\n\nThe training days are approximately 10 to 4 with plenty of breaks between practical exercises and discussions. \nYour training ticket includes access to our online event platform\, as well as opportunities to network with other delegates and join any of our Satellite Sessions.

And you might know how to write good copy. But that doesn’t mean you know how to run a successful freelance copywriting business. \nMany copywriters start freelancing because they can’t find a full-time copywriting job. Because they’ve always wanted to be their own boss. Or because they want to fit copywriting around other responsibilities. \nIf you work 2\,000 hours per year (allowing a bit of time off for Christmas and holidays)\, you’ll only be writing about half that time. The other 1\,000 hours will be spent dealing with marketing\, business management and finance. Work that doesn’t generate income. That sounds dull. But it’s essential. \nSpend a day with Jackie Barrie and discover: \n\nBest practice business activities for freelance copywriters\nHow to find clients\, charge what you deserve and get paid on time\nShifting your mindset so you can feel more confident that you know what you’re doing\n\nTraining includes:\n\nInteractive training with practical exercises\nQ&As with trainer\nRecording of the session\nSupporting documentation\n\nThe training days are approximately 10 to 4 with plenty of breaks between practical exercises and discussions. \nYour training ticket includes access to our online event platform\, as well as opportunities to network with other delegates and join any of our Satellite Sessions.
