We want to know.
Here’s a very quick survey.
All the questions are optional – so please just complete as much as you can.
Why are we asking?
Copywriters are stronger together
Most of our members are freelance copywriters.
This means that we rarely hear from in-house and agency copywriters.
So our community misses out on these perspectives.
We don’t get to learn from our peers who are working in fast-moving teams or within buzzy creative agencies.
It means ProCopywriters becomes a freelance community rather than a copywriting community, and that’s not our goal.
How we support in-house and agency copywriters today
We’ve been trying to broaden our appeal and entice more agency and in-house copywriters for a while now, with some success.
CopyCon has always attracted copywriters from a wide range of backgrounds. Only about 30% of the CopyCon audience is freelance.
Our online workshops have always been scheduled around lunchtimes to make them easy to fit around a busy working day. And our video library makes it easy to catch up when you have a moment.
What can we do better?
As a professional association, our duty is to support professionals and advance our profession.
Are there meaningful ways we can support your career?
And are there ways you would like us to raise the profile of copywriting?

I’m new to Procopywriters and new to an in-house copywriting role (I’ve been working in-house at the same org for more than 12 years and have always written copy as part of my various roles there, but this is the first time they’ve created a dedicated copywriter role).
I joined ProCopyWriters for a few reasons:
– to meet other copywriters that I can bounce ideas around with (I’m a team of one within my organisation and subject matter experts across the organisation usually review my copy, but I would love to have my writing reviewed and critiqued by actual copywriters from time to time!)
– to access training so that I can hone my copywriting skills and have confidence in the copy I write and the advice I give to colleagues
– to build my confidence and identity as a copywriter, and learn more about what it’s like to work as a freelance copywriter, as it’s a route I may want to go down one day
-to meet other copywriters to add to a pool of copywriters that I can potentially outsource work to when I have too much on my plate.
So far my membership is ticking all those boxes so no complaints from me, but just wanted to get in touch to confirm that I appreciate the focus on in-house writers!
