If you’re a fellow wordsmith, or someone who’s generally tired of this term being overused, welcome! It’s no secret that AI has become a hot topic for media professionals and business owners alike. As copywriters, we have to keep up with constant pop culture trends, changing client demands, and also update ourselves in this ever-changing digital landscape. Amidst all this, the narratives of readers and writers also change.
In this article, let’s dive headfirst into the changing narratives of copywriting, and what to explore as you pen (or type) your way to reel success.
It’s all about the number games
We know, you probably hated numbers in school, and hence explored your love for writing as an alternative. But current times demand you invest in data and interactive copywriting, which transform dry stats and figures into captivating stories. How you present data makes a lasting impact. Make it more relatable, add a human angle, and create a narrative which makes the data memorable, persuasive, and engaging. It’s a powerful tool that combines data credibility with the allure of storytelling.
Keep it short, but mighty
The pen’s mightier than the sword. And today in copywriting, a short copy is mightier than the one that’s long. Your audience has evolved, and their attention span has seen a drastic change. Powerful narratives today are all about the art of concise, impactful writing that captures attention and leaves a lasting impression. To use fewer words, yet write copies that pack a punch and deliver your messages in the 10-30 second span- that’s the biggest challenge for copywriters today.
Talk the Talk
With various smart devices finding a home in every home (literally), voice searches are here to stay. In fact, voice search and voice commerce spending has grown tremendously in the last few years. This trend requires a shift in copy that inclines towards a more conversational tone. Ensure that what you write follows natural language and answering questions as people naturally ask them. Btw, we have done an entire series on the rise of voice search and how brands can benefit from it. Don’t forget to read it here.
Keep it Real
One way to grow is to maximise the use of authentic voices in your copywriting. Be transparent about your products, services, business practices and the brand’s commitment to its audience. At the same time, make sure your content has the power to trigger emotions. You don’t have to be overly dramatic to make an impression. As long as your copy resonates with your audience, you’re on the right track.
AI & the Copywriter: A game changer
Despite all the hue and cry that AI will take away our jobs, copywriters have realised that the integration of AI in our daily jobs is a game-changer. From helping us generate ideas, to giving thought starters, optimising content, and even personalizing messages – AI has been of huge help. And no matter what they say – creativity, empathy, and storytelling in copywriting will continue to be a human forte.
The copywriting landscape today paints a vibrant and dynamic picture, reflecting our ideas and our audiences’ ever-changing needs and preferences. The profound shifts in how we communicate, connect, and persuade make a lasting impact on how the audience perceives our brand. So go on, embrace the trends, but don’t forget what you do best – leveraging the power of your pen to inspire and connect.
