Copywriting vs. Content Writing: What is The Difference? – Neil Patel

Even though both content writing and copywriting are important in marketing, they are very different things. Copywriters are responsible for things like ads – the things you see to try and get you to buy products.

The copy written by copywriters is often much shorter than the content that is written by content writers.

Key Takeaways:

  • The work of copywriters is meant to be persuasive, rather than just be informative.
