I took the Creative Copywriting Course because I wanted to explore copywriting and hone my skills in a way that made sense for me. I had never studied copywriting outright, but had an interest that I wanted to explore. ilovecreatives intrigued me because they apply a modern way to copywriting and providing valuable resources that felt in-touch with the modern climate. It was a great jumping-off point for exploring, connecting and getting down some basics.

I learned that I like copywriting! I have been a writer my whole life but have never seriously spent time considering copywriting as a part of my career. Throughout this course, I realized that copywriting can be cool and creative. The branding assignment especially sparked my interest in the storytelling component of branding.

I loved the community! The discord felt like a safe space to bounce off ideas, share our work and overall experience honing our skills together.

I also really appreciated Caitland as a TA. She is very dedicated to the course and puts her all into helping her students develop their craft and go after industry opportunities. I don't think I would have gotten all I got out of the course without Caitland's contributions.

I also started a position with The Subtext as their Content Coordinator. Caitland originally shared the job posting in the jobs section on the discord and helped connect me with my now-boss. The course also gave me a lot of valuable perspective on the writing process and tone of voice that I use in my position now.
