A word about words

In marketing, we’re often told that when it comes to copy, it’s best to keep things short. Headlines should be succinct and understood in a fleeting moment. Captions should be brief enough to catch eyes in a scrolling newsfeed. Everybody’s far too busy trolley-dashing around Sainsbury’s, bouncing on and off tubes or staring at cat videos on their phones to pay attention to what brands are saying. If ads do get a look in, it’s the image that makes the impact.
