It is up to the copywriter to develop a creative concept for advertising, public relations, and social media campaigns and then execute it as interesting, compelling or entertaining content. This includes proposed visuals, video, graphic arts, and sounds enhanced by great copywriting in dialogue, description, drama and announcements, for all media platforms and screens – TV, Radio, Print, Internet, Mobile Smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Google+, Blogs, Podcasts, and more. Students learn how to work with clients, creative teams, brand development, Creative Briefs and how pitch their creative concepts and copywriting.
