copywriter
A person who writes texts professionally, especially advertising copy, slogans, or content for websites and marketing materials.
Die Agentur hat einen erfahrenen Texter für die neue Werbekampagne engagiert.
The agency hired an experienced copywriter for the new advertising campaign.
The word 'Texter' (copywriter) is derived from the noun 'der Text' (text). The ending '-er' in German often refers to a male person who performs a particular activity—here, someone who writes texts.
Er arbeitet als Texter für eine große Werbeagentur.
He works as a copywriter for a large advertising agency.
'Der Texter' (copywriter) is a profession and should not be confused with the English word 'texter', which describes a person who writes a text message. In German, a Texter is a professional writer.
Ein guter Texter findet immer die richtigen Worte für die Werbung.
A good copywriter always finds the right words for advertising.
Common verbs used with 'Texter' (copywriter) are 'einen Texter beauftragen' (to commission a copywriter), 'einen Texter engagieren' (to hire a copywriter), or 'als Texter arbeiten' (to work as a copywriter). These describe professional collaboration.
Unsere Firma hat einen freiberuflichen Texter für die neue Webseite beauftragt.

author
'der Autor' and 'der Texter' both refer to people who write texts. 'Autor' fits especially with books, articles, academic texts, or journalistic texts. The word often emphasizes that someone is named as the author of a published text. 'Texter' is used more in professional contexts in advertising, marketing, or for websites. A copywriter writes things like slogans, product descriptions, or short texts for companies. The words can be confused because both people write. As a practical rule: for literature and articles, 'Autor' sounds more natural; for advertising and marketing, 'Texter' is more likely.
