Learn Copywriting | Today’s Exercise is an interactive copywriting practice tool designed to train users to craft effective website hero sections. It presents a practical exercise: write the hero copy for HubSpot’s website, including a headline, subheader, and call-to-action (CTA). The platform provides a workspace to submit your piece, view your current score, and compare with past work or inspiration prompts. It emphasizes iterative learning, feedback, and exposure to real-world advertising standards (as highlighted by David Ogilvy's quote).
