Writing for Social Media

As part of the Copywriting course at the College of Media and Publishing, Juliet Brando learned about writing advertising content for a wide range of social media platforms.

Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn have different audiences, and each require subtly different approaches and tones. For this assignment, the brief involved researching, then promoting, the Medieval Feast event for Coombe Abbey on each platform.

Twitter has a short character limit, so every word has to count. It helps to shorten the url, include a hashtag, and add a picture for extra emphasis, as well as encouraging interaction.

A RIGHT ROYAL FEAST!
At @CoombeAbbey, our award-winning Mediaeval Banquets include fun, food and entertainment fit for a Monarch! My Lords, Ladies and Gentlefolk, reply here with your most regal selfies, including the hashtag #rightroyalfeast!

Facebook includes some useful features in its Meta Creator Studio. Hashtags are helpful, and the location and contact details can be embedded.

THE YEAR IS 1539!
Coombe Abbey has thrown open its doors, and the Abbot and his Provost have invited us, the peasants, to a luxurious banquet! We dine on a four-course candlelit meal, with mead cocktails, wine and ale.
Suddenly, the feast is interrupted! Heavens! It’s the King’s Commissioners! They’ve come to ransack the Abbey’s treasures and banish the Monks! What happens next?

As a mainly B2B (business to business) platform, LinkedIn is best for advertising events to company owners and professionals.

Email Marketing

The copywriting course from College of Media and Publishing gave Juliet Brando an exhaustive education, and eclectic experience, in various forms of specialist content writing. This included every aspect of email marketing.

Contact Juliet Brando here for email marketing services.

During the module on Email Marketing, she learned, in depth:

  • what email marketing is used for;
  • the qualities of effective marketing via email;
  • the power of a good subject line;
  • writing for a selective market;
  • automated email platforms such as Mailchimp;
  • the use of long form content in email marketing. 

The assignment dealt with a real B2B (business to business) plumbing and heating company. Their name has been redacted here, for reasons of privacy.

Using the techniques learned, the initial task was to produce a marketing email, inviting the company’s subscribers to an event focused on businesses reducing their carbon footprint.

Juliet Brando decided that this event would be best as a webinar. A lot of research was required, both into the company itself, and also into the kinds of expert or company owner who should appear on its panel.

The proposed invitation would include an interesting subject line, a call to action and – as you may notice – a panel of almost entirely made up speakers.

The assignment was entirely text-based, so the design is written rather than displayed:
