If you’re looking to improve your brand marketing by maintaining a consistent brand voice, while flexing your tone appropriately for different audiences and platforms, this copywriting class is for you.

As a full-time, professional copywriter, I’m paid to write promotional copy that increases sales, builds customer engagement, and achieves marketing goals. So I know what works. In this marketing class, I'll show you how to write in a consistent brand voice by exploring the most common voice characteristics, how to express them in your copywriting and how to combine them effectively.

I'll also cover how to adapt your tone in different situations – on social media and in digital marketing for example.

What you’ll learn

What voice and tone are and how they relate to brand and marketing
Copywriting techniques to help you write with clarity and warmth
Top tips for making your copy sound more knowledgeable and positive
Low-risk ways to introduce humour into your business writing
Simple, practical ways to flex your tone for different audiences and platforms.

Why take this class?

These skills will make your marketing communications more consistent and effective and help you reach your engagement and conversion targets.

I use the skills I’ll teach you in this class myself and I know they have the potential to take your marketing copy to the next level.

This class is for you if you:

Work for a company that has brand guidelines for tone of voice that you need to follow
Write blog posts, web copy, social media posts, letters or emails
Work in a communications, marketing, PR or customer service team
Want to maintain a consistent voice across web, print and social media.

The skills you’ll learn in this class are highly transferable. You’ll find them useful outside work too - especially if you use social media, you’re a blogger or you have a side-hustle.
