/CW Creative Media Services - Get more from your Local Media
/Need Creative Media Services? No problem CopyWrite has got you covered.
For the last five years, we have been providing grassroots media services to our community, noting that these services for OUR community have often been limited, underrepresented, and very out of touch with what is really going on. As we have expanded our professional capacity, team, and training, we would like to re-introduce our /CW Creative Media Services. We hope that you will spread the word and reach out whenever you need additional help with your creative endeavors. This is just another way we can #SupportTheLocal.
press releases | press bites
Our press release services are official media statements drafted with the client that are structured to provide information, public statements, and or announcements to other media outlets, audiences, and communities. Where our service is unique is the ability to turn a press release into a CW Press Bite. Our Press Bites are press releases with interview elements from our clients that are condensed into short-form feature stories that can be housed on copywritemag.com or placed into a template for printable options. This allows our clients to have a built-in creative audience and platform to promote their craft, business, or creativity in any form.
Rates start at $60

Our Advertising services include ad placements in our online and in print publication CopyWrite Magazine or Advertising placement on our website.

Sponsorships are selected at the discretion of our owner and active leadership team.
All sponsorship requests must be submitted in writing and emailed to copywrite.mke@gmail.com at a minimum of 30 days before the date of need.
media blast
As a byproduct of the creative community, our methods as a magazine, media, and design firm can be unorthodox, expressive, and totally outside of the box. Our media blast service is where we mix those non-traditional tactics with guerilla marketing to get our client’s ideas out to the audience they are trying to target. This is a hands-on approach to our favorite hashtag #SupportTheLocal

Our leadership team has spent several years doing ethnographic research in local urban settings. This includes collegiate research on urban environments, “minority” cultural impact, systematic disenfranchisement, creative communities, youth expression, physical and digital spaces, media studies, and more.

media arts curriculum
With community collaboration being one of the major components in CopyWrite’s mission, we believe that aiding in the cultivation of creativity in our city is vital and that youth engagement continues the relevance of these practices. We partner with local organizations, schools, and creative groups to implement a creative curriculum that supports the mediated practices our youth are confronted with daily. There are several ways in which we teach the practices of media-making, but we firmly believe it is critical to give youth real-world experiences that provide real-world results. This can be working on content creation for a specific organizational campaign, or making their own group magazine. We shape our curriculum to meet the needs of whatever clients we are working with. At the base of our “Media Arts” we include practices of literacy, problem-solving, collaboration, and creative expression through several active workshops including (but not limited to):
• Story Development
• In the field research
• Visual asset creation and curation
• Copywriting
• Art Direction
• Layout development
• Media promotion
• Introduction to Computer Software
All curriculum inquiries should be submitted to copywrite.mke@gmail.com.
Curriculum contracts are contracts to teach media arts. Rates vary on the instructor, curriculum request, materials, contract hours, and assets.
