What is banner writing?
Banner writing is the creation of the short text used on banners: the headline, the supporting line and the call to action. It is used on websites, display ads, social media, events and print, wherever a message must be read quickly and understood at a glance.
Good banner copy is brief, clear and focused on one idea. It speaks to the viewer’s need, highlights a single benefit or offer, uses simple words that read well at any size, and finishes with a call to action that tells people what to do next.

It is the writing of the short text used on banners, such as the headline, supporting line and call to action, so that your message is clear at a glance.
