As a social media coordinator of Book Fair Australia, I was tasked with writing copy about the event, and different activities that made the event unique from other literary festivals. I also had to adapt this copy for social media.
Using my prior knowledge and desk research, I formed copy that referenced the intended audience through jargon while communicating necessary details about the weekend and activities.
In addition, I considered the attention span of my audience and the smallest character limit we had to work with; Twitter's 280 characters. Links previews of 23 characters are accounted in the count, also used to improve SEO of the website.
This copy is used on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
