You know what doesn’t convert today? Bad ad copy. And that doesn’t mean poorly written copy \u2014 the ad above is grammatically correct and even has some clever wordplay. But it’s not great copy for today’s market because it’s over the top (looking at you, multiple exclamation marks), obviously insincere and potentially misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not the 1950s or 60s, when golden-age ad copy could promise perfect lifestyles and cash in on conversions. Online consumers are cynical, savvy and hungry for authenticity. Skilled copywriters<\/a> know – if you’re not writing content that speaks to that<\/em> audience, you’re not going to be successful as an advertising copywriter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Ad Copy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ad copy is any content created for the purpose of advertising. That includes obvious content such as the text that appears in a paid search ad or the script for a video commercial. But it also includes other types of content that target the sales funnel such as l<\/a>anding pages<\/a>, email drip campaigns or even product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n

Not all marketing copy is ad copy (but all ad copy is marketing copy). Marketing copy written with the sole purpose of educating, informing or entertaining the reader isn’t ad copy, even if it’s meant to build brand awareness or foster consumer culture around a company. Advertising copy is meant to convert \u2014 to drive someone further down the sales funnel toward the point where they decide the purchase a product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertising copywriting, then, is dedicated to that purpose: to driving consumers forward on the buying journey with compelling, persuasive content that keeps the sales goal in mind. Even if the sale is still far off on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That doesn’t mean all ad copy is a hard sell. It shouldn’t all sound like late-night infomercials or even position the product as the foremost topic. Ad copywriters are responsible for understanding the specific purpose of each type of content to support the ultimate success of comprehensive advertising campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
