What is it about? Due to popular demand, we’re pleased to run this

session again.

If you have pages of web content, send steady

streams of email and intend to increase your

content marketing and social media activity, copy

optimisation is the answer.

The principle is that your content marketing activity

could be made measurably more effective, simply

by crafting, testing and measuring the tiny pieces of

text that your audiences use in key interactions.

“Really useful with excellent practical examples.”

Lisa Leigh, Marketing Manager, English National

Opera after Sweat The Small Stuff, March 2014.

What will I gain?

A grasp of the principles of copy optimisation to see how and where it could be integrated into your marketing strategy — Easy-to-implement micro-content fixes that could begin to show results immediately — The ability to direct a small, low-cost copy optimisation testing phase designed to increase key conversions on your web and social sites.

Here for you

Without exaggeration, this was one of the most useful training courses I have attended to date. I would highly recommend anyone else try this course. I have come away from the course and already changed our blog and written three pages of recommendations for the marketing manager!
