Copywriting
Effective copywriting is a combination of message, tone and technique. The choice of what will be the most persuasive message is never obvious. You need to enter into the mind of the audience, understand their needs and then answer them. The tone should express the personality of the brand. Emails, websites, straplines, speeches, video scripts, brochures, blog posts are all written differently. To be effective, you need to understand how each medium is consumed and what techniques work best.
Why use a copywriting agency?
Capacity: an agency will have the resources to deliver large writing projects while maintaining consistency.
Process: a copywriting agency will discover exactly what you're trying to achieve, who your target audience is and what they currently think. They'll help you decide the message most likely to persuade and motivate.
Skill: once the brief is clear, an agency will choose writers from their team who are best suited to writing for that audience in that medium.
Why is good copywriting important?
Does your product or service offer a clearly defined benefit? Are you creating an emotional connection with your audience? Is your brand promise coming through clearly? Good copywriting achieves all these things.
All commercial activity is, to a greater or lesser extent, an attempt to sell a product or service. A copywriting agency provides the words to drive your sales and build your brand.
The Barnaby Benson approach to copywriting
-
We have a thorough message development process that applies the same level of discipline and questioning that goes into an advertising campaign.
-
Having worked with many of the world's leading brand agencies for over 20 years, we understand language’s contribution to brand positioning. This might be a rejuvenated tone of voice, a brilliant idea for an advertising campaign, or just achieving a compelling read that holds the reader's attention from the headline to the closing call to action.
-
We're familiar with the demands and constraints that different media make on language. Copy that works for an annual report will not be right for a brochure – so our copy adapts.
