In the enterprise publicity, copywriting is the most basic work. In addition to press releases and speeches, in-depth writing is the most widely used. An in-depth article is a feature article. The content covers various application scenarios from product advertorials to successful cases.
Due to more content sources and application scenarios, in-depth writing puts forward higher requirements on writing ability.
In this lesson, we will use the "six module method" to help students master the writing method of in-depth manuscript.
企业宣传中，文案写作是最基本的工作。除了新闻稿、演讲稿，深度稿的撰写和应用最为广泛。深度稿的英文是feature article。内容涵盖从产品软文到成功案例的各种应用场景。

深度稿因为内容来源更多，应用场景更多，因此对写作能力提出了更高的要求。
本课中，会用“六个模块法”来帮助学员掌握深度稿的写作方法。
