Our copywriting courses for teams are different. Here's why.

80% of your time will be spent copywriting and reviewing

Not just talking about copywriting. Not just thinking about copywriting. But actually putting words onto the page.

Your team will spend the session redrafting, re-organising, polishing – and getting feedback on their content. They’ll make mistakes. They’ll make discoveries. Most importantly, they can use what they’ve learned straight away.

Delivered by a copywriter who's been training for over 20 years.

Every Blackad copywriting course is delivered by Alan Black – our founder and principal content consultant.

We don’t employ ‘professional trainers’, juniors, UX consultants or account managers to run our copywriting courses. It just wouldn’t work, would it?

We use your material

Would you rather learn using your own material or generic copywriting examples? For us, there’s no contest.

We’ve spent 18 years figuring out how to create highly tailored courses using the client team’s own content, without charging five-figure sums for the privilege.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll have real-world answers to real-world copywriting problems. We’d be amazed if you didn’t transplant at least five or six portions of copy from the workshop onto your website within the week.

We deliver what you and your team really need

We do this by surveying your team, poring over the writing examples they send, and listening carefully to understand the strategic direction you want to take. Nothing is left to chance.

You get full sign-off on the course contents. Even during the session itself, we’ll check to make sure we’re delivering the value you need – and adjust our approach based on your feedback. (Something that’s only possible because all our courses are delivered by our highly experienced senior copywriters.)

But we’re not just here to listen. We’ll also give you a clear picture of what’s possible given the investment you’d like to make – and the level your team’s working at right now.

Shock, horror – we’ve been known to suggest ditching the idea of a copywriting course altogether, and instead spend time understanding the real issues that are holding your content back.

About your copywriting trainer

I’m Alan. I lead all our web copywriting courses. I’ve been a copywriter since 1995, and I’ve been writing digital content since 1997. (Yes, the profession’s changed a bit since then. Does anyone really miss CD-ROMs?)

I’ve trained thousands of people how to write copy. I still write every day: for example, I worked on our D&AD award-winning Alexa skill for Channel 4.

I've written digital content for brands including NatWest, Vodafone and Tesco – plus lots of business-to-business brands.

Online training. (Or in person if you're happy to pay travel at cost price.)

Your IT department can rest easy – you don’t need to install or configure anything.

We use a secure online whiteboard to run our copywriting training courses. This runs alongside your choice of a Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet call, which we use to keep in touch and share the day’s exercises and examples.

And when the world’s back to normal, we’ll be back too – running copywriting courses in London, Glasgow and across the UK.
