I worked for an agency in the first two years of my 7-year copywriting career and realised when I was on this website yesterday that I haven't written banner copy in forever. This might seem like a silly question, but what is the lingo used in your workplace for the creatives I circled in my screenshot? (excuse the imperfect circle, there's a reason I can't be on the art team). From my memory, it was called a 'hero banner'(top) and a 'space ad'(right). Has anything changed?

Is going to ad school worth it? I've been interning (not paid) at a creative agency and applying to jobs on the side but had no luck at all. I don't know if it's the fact that I haven't worked anywhere yet or the fact that I don't have an education pertaining to advertising that's hindering me from getting a job. What's your take on this?

I'm on an assignment to come up with a name for my client's new vertical, and it's not as easy as I thought LOL. What is the process you go through when you're coming up with names for new ventures or launches? How do you make sure to keep it tied in with the brand's voice? Would love to hear any advice or tips in this regard.
