Each type of digital media requires a tailored approach to maximise its strengths. This course will guide you through how various digital platforms work and the most effective writing techniques for each. You will explore the nuances of writing for webpages, blogs, emails, online advertising and storytelling for social media.

Regardless of the digital channel, a structured approach is essential for identifying your core proposition.
