What is the difference between sales pitch and ad copy?

[Nomad]

The main objective of sales pitch and ad copy is almost same, to sell product and services, to generate leads, to encourage customers to take action. However, there is a difference between how sales pitches are written and how ad copies are written. Ad copy is very short, just a few lines and shorter the copy better is the copy. However, sales pitches are long, they highlight the features of products/services you are promoting.

a sales pitch is a direct, often verbal persuasion, like a face-to-face product demo at a store, targeting one person. Ad copy is written, like a catchy Instagram post, designed to attract a broad audience with concise, compelling messaging.

The difference is a bit obvious, one is something that you talk about and communicate to one or more people live, generally you tell a story, then a problem, then a possible solution and that solution is usually the sale, however the advertising text is simply the written advertising of the product you are trying to sell.

A sales pitch is a personal, direct approach aimed at persuading a potential customer to buy a product or service, often delivered in real-time, like in a meeting or call.

Ad copy, on the other hand, is written content used in advertisements (digital, print, etc.) designed to grab attention, inform, and prompt action, often targeting a broader audience.

While both aim to sell, the key difference is in delivery and format, sales pitches are interactive, while ad copy is more passive and reaches a wider audience.

I read "sales pitch" and the first thing that comes to mind is DiCaprio in the character of The Wolf of Wall Street giving a speech so convincing that you end up wanting to buy it.
