SUMMARY:Webinar: How to brief your B2B copywriter (the right way)
DESCRIPTION:Creating successful B2B content starts long before the writing. In this short webinar\, you’ll discover George’s simple formula for a clear\, effective copywriting brief. \nA great piece of B2B content doesn’t begin with the writing\, or even interviewing the subject matter expert. It starts with the brief. \nThe brief you give your copywriter sets the tone – and the pace – for your whole content creation process. It allows your writer to ask better questions\, and helps their copy to hit the mark first time\, so the content you publish fits the vision in your head. \nBut knowing what to put in a brief and what to leave out\, and how to communicate it clearly\, can be a minefield. How much is enough information? How much is too much? \nDon’t worry; we’ve got you.

SUMMARY:Tone of Voice: Define and Apply a Distinctive Voice
DESCRIPTION:Following his sell-out training last year\, we asked Nick Parker to re-run his tone of voice training. \nHere’s a short introduction (visit the Copywriting Conference site for more details): \nHave more fun. Make more money. Do better work. By finally getting your head round this tone of voice malarkey. \n‘Tone of voice’ is often seen as a bit of a dark art. Something everyone agrees is important\, but nobody can really pin down\, right? This workshop will change how you think about tone of voice forever. \nBy using the ‘11 Primary voices’ approach to tone of voice\, the whole thing becomes simpler to understand\, more creative to do\, and more effective to apply.

SUMMARY:Before Copywriting - with Andrew Boulton
DESCRIPTION:B.C. – before copywriting \n(Why the real creative work happens before you pick up a pencil)  \nToo often\, when the brief is delivered it’s a like a pistol has gone off – and everyone scrambles back to their desk as quickly as they can to start writing\, or typing\, or somehow hurling words at the page. But what if the best way to write great copy was to start by writing absolutely nothing at all? In this session\, Andrew Boulton – author of ‘Copywriting Is: 30-or-so thoughts on thinking like a copywriter’ – will show us how putting a little imaginative distance between the problem and the solution can help us produce better and more surprising work (and have a better time doing it). \nFree for all to attend. Only ProCopywriters members get access to the recording of this session. \nAbout Andrew Boulton \nAndrew Boulton has been a copywriter for 12 (ish) years. He’s worked on some big brands and plenty of tiny ones too. He teaches copywriting on the Creative Advertising degree course at the University of Lincoln and is the author of bestselling copywriting book ‘Copywriting Is: 30-or-so thoughts on thinking like a copywriter’. His beard is unconvincing.
