About this e-learning material

A strong image or video attracts attention, but the caption often decides whether people comment, save or share. Clear, well-structured captions also help your content reach the right audience and express your voice.

What this material covers
• Opening lines that encourage people to keep reading
• Adjusting caption length and tone for each platform
• Formatting with line breaks, emojis and lists for easy reading
• Writing calls to action that feel natural
• Adding required disclosures to sponsored captions

Who it is for
Creators who find captions difficult to write, and social media managers who write on behalf of brands or creators.

Use the material alongside your own posts and rewrite a few older captions to practise each technique.
