Copywriting is the art of writing articles which will be used for advertising purposes. It could be a catchy tagline of a product, for example Bingo chips has the tagline- "no confusion, great combination". You all would have heard of it. It could be the concept of a Television ad, the main description of a company's website- It would be the copywriter's job to do it.
