Outsource Copywriters

Find talented copywriters and content writers

Need help with your content writing? Here, you can find talented English speaking copywriters and content writers to grow your marketing team.

Copywriters used to be found exclusively in advertising agencies, public relations companies and media companies, but this is starting to change. For decades, agencies offering a range of creative services have proliferated in Manila, with some global advertising and media firms placing their regional headquarters here. And in recent years, a number of BPO companies have begun following suit, offering creative process outsourcing (CPO) as part of their service portfolio. Copywriting is one of the core services for these companies.

Traditionally, copywriters have worked mostly on brochures, TV and radio commercial scripts, and magazine and newspaper advertisements. But over the past few years, the demand for web copy and related services (e.g. social media messaging, content writing and search engine optimization) has increased dramatically.

That said Microsoft Word and Google Docs are both very commonly used, and most copywriters are very proficient with the use of revision marks (to aid in the review process), and most mid-to-senior copywriters are comfortable using document templates and paragraph styles. They’re also usually able to adapt very quickly to project management tools like Asana and Trello.

In the area of web content management, WordPress platform is commonly used, as opposed to Joomla or Drupal. For images, Flickr is a popular source used by web copywriters.

Tips for employing copywriters and content writers

It takes 4-6 weeks to hire a copywriter or content writer.
Hybrid copywriters – such as those with digital marketing experience – are less common and may take some time to hire.
Some companies hire a good copywriter then train them in SEO and HTML editing as necessary.
Some copywriters are freelancers; they handle projects remotely or have a work-from-home arrangement. Expect a higher than regular rate if you require them to work in an office 5 days a week, as they’ll consider transportation fees in their asking salaries.
