Start module 09 in the Learning Lab
LESSON 1 OF 3

Write an honest email invitation

25 minContent studio
WHAT YOU WILL DO

Make the subject and body work together.

A subject line tells the reader why the message matters. Preview text can add information instead of repeating it. Avoid false reply prefixes, invented deadlines, and claims that a place is reserved when it is not.

Keep the body focused on one purpose. Introduce the workshop, give the key details, and ask for one next action. Use a descriptive link label when the approved URL is available.

This exercise creates a draft only. A real mailing list needs an appropriate sending process and current consent rules. Do not invent recipients or send the practice message.

Ask the organiser about missing details before publishing. This is a creative exercise, not a real event.

The subject matches the body.

LESSON 2 OF 3

Build a simple landing page message

25 minContent studio
WHAT YOU WILL DO

Arrange information so a visitor can decide what to do.

A landing page connects a promise to a decision. Begin with the event and reader benefit, then provide practical details and a clear registration action.

Answer likely objections using evidence. You can say tools are provided because the brief supports it. You cannot claim the venue is accessible until the organiser confirms the arrangements.

Draft the page in text before using a site builder. Mark missing details as internal notes. A polished page with an invented registration link is still unfinished.

LESSON 3 OF 3

Practical: build an invitation journey

65 minContent studio
WHAT YOU WILL DO

Create an email and matching landing-page draft for one reader action.

Bring together the two lessons in this module. Create an email and matching landing-page draft for one reader action. Use the fictional Green Bench source pack, and keep missing details visible in your working notes.

Your finished work should include: A subject line, preview, and email body. Landing copy with matching facts and a clear registration action. Keep the actual text in the workspace. For media, describe your file or storyboard, its version, and the decisions it shows. Media files stay on your device; this form saves text only.

Try this review experiment: Compare the promise in the email with the first screen of the landing copy. Remove any mismatch. Record what changed and why. You may use your own AI tool or work from the supplied sample drafts. Label which approach you used. The checklist checks completeness and your review record, not creative quality.
