Tools to generate ideas and boost productivity
14 August 2025, full day virtual workshop (also available ‘in-house’ for groups)
In today’s crowded digital spaces, it’s increasingly difficult to cut through the marketing noise. Capturing attention, engagement and – ultimately – sales, requires a consistent stream of distinctive and resonant content that speaks directly to your audience’s interests and needs.
And this presents a real challenge. Producing large volumes of strong and original 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, as a content writer, you need to deliver in terms of both quantity and quality.
To achieve this, you’ll need to come up with fresh angles around similar themes. 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, and write powerfully to maximise the impact of your content. It also explores how you can leverage the power of AI to streamline your creative process.

Gillian Heggs
Hi, I’m Gillian. Having spent 40 years as a copywriter, I’ve got plenty of experience and know-how to share on the training courses. What fascinates me most is how we can use words more effectively to help get results. I’ve had the opportunity to write for brands of all sizes, from multi-national organisations to small companies, and I’ve written work that’s won awards. I really enjoy passing on knowledge – which is why I love training. I understand a variety of challenges around copywriting – often because I’ve faced them myself! I’ve already worked with thousands of delegates, and my aim is to create a supportive atmosphere in which to learn.
