What it is and how it works

They write headlines, product and landing page copy, emails, ads, social posts and calls to action, such as subscribing to a newsletter, requesting information or buying. The work combines audience insight, clarity, brand tone and structure designed for reading on screen.

It overlaps with neighbouring roles but is not the same: a UX writer focuses on interface text that guides product use, an SEO copywriter adds search optimisation, and a content writer produces more informative or in-depth pieces.
