The Dark Side of Copywriting
Manage episode 425568232 series 3424407
Misleading ads, manipulative persuasion tactics, and other less-than-ethical copywriting practices may lead to quick sales, but they come at a high cost. In this episode, I talk about deceptive marketing strategies and the long-term damage they inflict on your brand. Even calls to action (CTAs) can turn against you when used this one way. Integrity is everything whether you're growing a B2B business or personal brand. Check out the episode on YouTube to follow along with visuals.
