It’s only because the marketing work I did so early on in my career that I’m a search marketer, without that focus on content I may never have had the drive to work with copy.
For years now I’ve been working with people who tell me text is about to be dumped from the internet but at the end of the day it remains. Copy is still an essential element of any website, text and copy are actually becomming more important when you take into account social media marketing.

Fingers crossed.
Good content is always the foundation to what I do, it’s what I’ve done all my working life and as such I think it’s important I concentrate on being a marketing orientated copywriting search marketer.
