In this episode, episode 4 of our AI series for copywriters or anyone who writes business copy, we’re cutting through the jazz hands and hype to talk about the real skills copywriters need to stay sharp in an AI-assisted world. Spoiler: tools are only half the story.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

• The 4 must-have skills to future-proof your copy career (yep, beyond prompt-engineering) if you’re a copywriter or skills you need to develop fast if you write copy for your own business
  
  


• Why average AI copy doesn’t cut it – and how to inject actual emotional punch
  
  


• How to work with AI without losing your voice, strategy or spark
  
  


• Practical ways to upskill and stay ahead (without burning out or turning robotic)
  
  

Whether you’re already experimenting with AI or still side-eyeing it from afar, this episode is your no-fluff guide to writing better for your business – not replacing and outsourcing it to robots.
