The three-month program for copywriters, art directors, and brand builders starts on March 6th.

1. There are many moving parts to a brand when it’s put out into the world. Language is a very powerful tool to hold all these parts together.

2. The key to good brand writing is to balance consistency and surprise.
* Consistency ensures your brand is recognized and trusted.
* Surprise ensures your brand is noticed and shared.

3. All good copywriting skills also apply to brand writing. There are, however, two main differences…
a) Brand writing is editorial — Today’s brands publish their own content. You need an editorial mindset to create great content that’s distinctive, culturally relevant and synergistic.
b) Brand writing is structured — Copywriting structures help simplify complex information, unite varied brand topics and create synergistic messaging to keep your audience engaged.

4. Good Quote:

“Without an appealing personality expressed in appropriate language, even the strongest brand will struggle to create an emotional connection with its audience. This matters because only one brand can be the cheapest, the rest have to find some other way of capturing their audience’s attention and earning their affection. Good writing is a great way of doing exactly that.”
