Conclusion

What You Will Learn?

  • This short copywriting course is about writing a standard press release. There are many different types, but I’m going to show you how I write a standard press release, and how I’ve been writing them for many years for many corporate marketing departments and clients..
  • Along the way, we will cover:.
  • This is a beginner's course that intermediate writers may benefit from. I will act as a starting point on your press release journey, and will encourage you to push against the edges of what I tell you. The most important thing you can bring to any writing course is your own talent..
  • What I can’t promise is to make you a better writer. That’s subjective. What I can do is help you write a better press release, so that you can apply the amazing way you write to the formula..
  • More about me.
  • I'm Shaun Weston, a copywriter and podcast producer. I've worked for many corporate clients over the years, and since 2009 have produced more than 300 podcasts. I'm genuinely interested in sharing what I know, and have so far enjoyed learning new skills from other Skillsharers. I may even drop a few creative projects of my own into these lessons!.
  • I hope you enjoy the course, and can't wait to see what you produce!.
