What Does a Copywriter Do?

What does a copywriter do? A copywriter is not the same as copyright. As copywriters, we don\’t sit around drawing those little C symbols on contracts all day long! You\’re more likely to find copywriters working in big advertising, marketing or creative agencies working on the latest brand or marketing campaign. Or if you\’re a freelance copywriter like me you might find me working from my favorite cafe here in Thailand sipping on a latte and enjoying the endless free Wifi.

Who hires copywriters?

Copywriters can be hired by advertising and marketing agencies. They might be involved in a part time or full time roles.
