Boost your content productivity and originality
28 June or 25 November 2023, full day virtual workshop (also available ‘in-house’ for groups)
In today’s crowded digital spaces, it’s increasingly difficult to cut through the noise. Successful marketers need to produce a stream of insightful, interesting and shareable content that builds engagement, develops brand awareness, and drives traffic and sales.
And this presents a challenge. Producing large amounts of quality content is time consuming, and every piece needs to engage readers in its own right, as well as contributing to overall marketing goals. In other words, there’s a demand for both quality and quantity.
As a content writer, you need to come up with fresh angles around a similar theme. You need to take part in conversations and be responsive to your audience’s needs and tastes. And you need to be able to do this efficiently and reliably, because the demand for new content never stops.
This course has been developed to help you generate top quality content that’s designed to achieve specific marketing goals. It focuses on how to come up with ideas, create an effective planning process, write powerfully and coordinate your content.
