ADVERTISING COPY
Copy is the sum of all the elements of a creative work aimed at selling
a product. Advertising copy can be seen as the written content or text
used in advertisements to communicate a message, promote a product
or service, persuade customers, and generate interest or action. It plays
a crucial role in capturing the audience's attention, conveying the
benefits of the product or service, and influencing consumer behavior.
Effective advertising copy is engaging, clear, persuasive, and tailored to
the target audience.
3. Body Copy: The main text of the ad that conveys the message,
benefits, and features of the product or service.
7. Logo: The brand's visual symbol or mark that helps with brand
recognition.
Other forms of writing: The purpose of other forms of writing can vary
widely, including informing, entertaining, educating, or expressing
personal thoughts and emotions. Examples include literature,
journalism, academic writing, and creative writing.
2. Audience:
Other forms of writing: The audience for other forms of writing can be
more diverse and may include general readers, specialists in a particular
field, or individuals seeking entertainment or information.
Other forms of writing: Other types of writing may vary in style and
tone depending on the genre and purpose. Academic writing, for
example, is more formal and structured, while creative writing allows
for more personal expression and creativity.
Other forms of writing: While creativity can also play a role in other
forms of writing, it may be expressed in different ways, such as through
character development in a novel, the use of metaphor in poetry, or

1. Headline: The headline is often the first thing that catches the
reader's eye and serves to grab their attention. It should be engaging,
concise, and relevant to the product or service being advertised. A
strong headline can entice the reader to continue reading the
advertisement.
2. Body Copy: The body copy provides more detailed information about
the product or service being advertised. It should highlight key features,
benefits, and unique selling propositions to persuade the reader to take
action. The body copy is usually written in a clear and compelling
manner to maintain the reader's interest.
3. Call to Action: The call to action is a crucial element that prompts the
reader to take a specific action, such as making a purchase, visiting a
website or contacting the advertiser. It should be clear, direct, and
motivating to encourage immediate response.

the viewer's eye from the headline to the main message, call-to-action,
and any additional information. Use elements such as arrows, borders,
or color contrast to direct the flow of information.
Use sensible proportion: Ensure that the size and placement of each
element in the layout are proportional to its importance. For example,
the headline should be larger and more prominent than secondary text,
while images should be appropriately sized to complement the text.
