Join IABC/Chicago and Crescenzo Communications on Thursday, March 18, 2021, to learn how to become an effective writer.
Great writing is at the core of everything we do: articles, social media, e-mail, bulletins, even videos. Unfortunately, most “corporate writing” just isn’t good enough. Nobody wants you to “shift their paradigm” or “leverage their core competency.” We need to harness the power of what works in the real world. This webinar is all about the fundamentals of powerful, effective writing. You’ll learn:
- How to strip the jargon out of your writing once and for all
- How to write in a conversational fashion while still being professional
- The power of headlines, leads, quotes, and verbs
- Writing for the modern Web
- How to “write tight” and respect your readers
- How to write for the reader, not the approver
