A digital copywriter or content writer is someone who writes the words you see on a website.
The type of content a digital copywriter writes will depend on the audience they are writing for and the intent behind the content.
Sales or product information is designed to encourage the reader to buy or do something, while blogs and articles are generally penned to educate the reader about a brand, industry or trending topic.
