HERE'S WHAT COPYWRITERS ACTUALLY DO:
It’s simple: copywriters know how to tell a story.
Today, brands and organizations have to communicate on more channels than ever before. Social media, TV, outdoor advertising, pamphlets…even the tag on the back of your sweater! Think of it all—the million and one ways brands work to communicate they are.
Behind it all is a copywriter. Or usually several. What they do is make sure it all works together, that it all sounds like one unified and distinctive voice, and that every piece of it sends the exact message it needs to.
Because, crucially, copywriters don’t just write for the sake of it. At the heart of their art there’s always a message to be sent, and a business problem to be solved.
Which is not to say they’re not wildly inventive and creative people. They are. In fact, they have to be. In a world with a million messages buzzing around at all times, copywriters are experts and standing out from the crowd.
Problem seekers, raconteurs, entertainers, brand-building wizards…all rolled into one.
On a day to basis, Copywriters usually work as a pair with an Art Director. Together, they create websites, billboards, TikTok campaigns…anything to deliver their message. In copywriting, the only limitation is your imagination.
THE COPYWRITING CURRICULUM
AT MIAMI AD SCHOOL
When you study copywriting at Miami Ad School, you’re always learning something new. In the same week you might write a video series for YouTube, strategize a campaign with an art director and present your new product idea, a donut shaped burger, to BurgerKing’s global marketing director. He loves it! Your idea gets produced. Your mom sees it on CNN and Fox News. You go to an award show in France (all expenses paid) and you win a big award. (True story!) Real-world copywriting classes and internships all over the world make finding that first job much easier. You can say, “Yes, I do have experience.”
The entire curriculum is designed by current industry professionals, based on their everyday experience working in a creative setting. It’s a program created to help students develop the real-world skills they’ll need to succeed.
