Good copywriting has never been more important. New media depend on the written word, from emails to facebook. Organisations are investing heavily in tone of voice guidelines to strengthen their brand.  And traditional media such as direct mail and press continue to benefit from powerful, persuasive writing. This workshop gives writers fresh insights and helps them add value to their clients and agencies

About the trainer

Richard Spencer was a senior writer at JWT, TBWA, Y&R; and a number of boutique agencies with very silly names. He won awards for copywriting and creativity that include D&AD;, Cannes, One Show, British Television and Creative Circle. He now runs his own writing agency, A Thousand Monkeys, making words work harder for BT, Mercedes and the Arts University Bournemouth. He has also run tone of voice workshops for businesses such as ITV, Time Warner and O2.
