FAQs

How can we ensure the copy strategist understands our brand voice?

To make sure your copy strategist captures your brand voice, provide comprehensive background materials. Share existing content or brand guidelines early. Arrange a meeting to discuss your brand's ethos and tone. This will enable the strategist to connect with your overall brand message.

What should be included in the initial project brief?

Your project brief should explain the scope and goals. Include details like target audience, key messages, and project timelines. Briefs should also clarify deliverables like blog posts, social media copy, or email campaigns. This builds a roadmap for the strategist to follow.

How do we schedule regular updates without micromanaging?

Set up a communication schedule before the project starts. Agree on checkpoints, such as weekly updates or milestone meetings. Use these to track progress and address evolving needs. A clear schedule helps both you and the strategist stay aligned.

What key deliverables should we agree upon?

Key deliverables include content pieces, such as blog articles or website copy. Define formats, word counts, and deadlines. It’s crucial to specify revisions and feedback timelines. Confirm these with your copy strategist before beginning.

What are the best collaboration tools for working with a copy strategist?

Collaboration tools like Slack, Trello, or Google Workspace are helpful. They provide platforms for easy communication, task management, and document sharing. Decide on the best tools that fit your needs to enhance productivity. Ensure the freelancer is comfortable using these tools.

How do we evaluate the copy strategist’s past work?

Review past projects and ask for samples relevant to your industry. Look for consistency in voice and engagement in copy. Testimonials or case studies can provide insights into performance. This evaluation helps gauge their suitability for your project.

What is the process for handling edits or feedback?

Create a structured feedback process before the project starts. Define how feedback will be communicated and any specific tools to be used. Set a reasonable number of revisions and ensure timelines for edits are clear. This fosters a productive feedback loop.
