Interviewing for a copywriter role in the marketing division of a tv network. Are jeans not okay? Unsure whether or not agency rules apply.

How was everyone really hired? Creatives. Rarely see job listings on linked in for CW or AD. Seems like hiring is underground.

Big name agency, $$$, but the position could veer you from goals of being a copywriter. If this is you, do you take it or go with a creative internship/residency for much less money?

What kinds of behavioral questions should I be prepared for in a second & final round interview for an Associate Copywriter role at an ad agency? I am also doing a presentation on two writing samples.

Wondering: what’s a good salary range for a copywriter with 10 years experience? Not at a senior role, but a manager. Curious; Lmk salary range and location (if applicable, since I know that can sometimes play a role). TIA!

Need advice 😓 I spent the past couple of years in a creative strategist / copywriter hybrid role. It’s been super interesting but I’ve heard that the “hybrid creative” is kinda played out. How would you navigate searching for your next role?

Looking for a friend | Any top creative agencies hiring remote creative positions? (Sr. Copywriter, specifically)

Looking for a junior copywriter role or internship nationwide. If people at your agency wear their pants inside out, great. Fishing pond in the middle of your office, even better.

Senior copywriter role (95k) at an agency or ACD (105k) client side?

Hi. I'm a Copywriter and I'm looking for a new job. Any CD's or recruiters hiring here? My book is pretty good for my level and I'm at a big NY agency. I'm looking to stay in NY but would be down for remote. Let me know how to get in touch and I'll send you my book!

A big tech/creative conundrum!

Copywriter w/ a decade of big name agency work, few awards but no lions or pencils. Making decent salary and decent work. Fairly happy but worried about balancing kids/money/work next year.

Have a great offer for a copy role at Facebook (salary, benefits and stock are amazing and way above what I could ever earn at an agency).

Would this effectively be my forever exit from the agency world? Ive heard once you leave you can’t come back. Any experience with this?

Stay for the mentorship or leave for the money?

I'm a Sr. copywriter getting underpaid at a network agency. I've been talking to recruiters, and it seems like I could get a 25% raise if I seriously applied myself and made a lateral move - most likely to an indy.

However, my current agency has been explicit about training me to be an ACD. They love my work and make no bones about saying that they see me in that kind of role.

What would you do?

I've been approached by another agency for an open senior copywriter position. I don't want the job currently (happy where I am) but would like to connect with the CD and stay on their radar.

Should I be up front and say I'm not interested in this role but still keen to grab a coffee? Or lead them on a little bit and then say it's not right for me at the moment?

Anyone hiring a Junior Copywriter? Or Communications Specialist? Open to remote, LA, OC, Seattle, and Portland!

I got an offer, a once-in-a-lifetime offer that I can’t pass up. Any advice on how to break the news to my current CW? We were hired at our current and previous agencies as a team. How will this effect them in their current role (besides needing to find a new partner)?

We are both (newly) at the senior level.

I came across a copywriter position that I’m interested in, but one of the requirements is 8 years of experience. I’m currently just over 5 years. Would it be ok to still apply?

Nike is hiring a copywriter

Job Description: Sr. Copywriter, 5-8 years of experience

How hard is it to get an entry level role as an Integrated Producer in a bigger ciry? I'm a copywriter currently working as a Digital Editor for a magazine with about 5 years of experience (some in the US, some abroad) and writing has burnt me out. I'm considering applying to places in Chicago for producer positions. What exactly are agencies looking for in applicants?

Seems like around every corner there’s a senior copywriter position open but junior positions are few and far between. What’s going on?

How does your agency structure its Engagement/Activation/Digital Strategy dept, as far as titles/roles go? It doesn't seem as defined as other depts and, from what I can tell, it also isn't uniform across agencies. For example, in our Copy dept, the succession is:

1. Junior Copywriter
2. Copywriter
3. Sr Copywriter
4. Copy Supervisor
5. Copy Group Supervisor
6. VP, Copy Group Sup
7. VP, ACD
8. SVP, ACD
9. SVP, CD
10. SVP, ECD

As a Sr Digital Strategist, what's the next logical role for me?

Help! Interviewing for a Senior CW role. Anything specific questions I should ask or will be asked?

Thoughts on pursuing a new role at another agency when you might be on the verge of being promoted into the same role at your current one? I wasn’t really looking but a former coworker mentioned my name at the potential new agency for a Copywriter position (currently Associate CW). I’ve been at this level for over a year and feel like the promotion is on the horizon, so I’m not sure if it’s worth making the move now if the other agency’s offer is equivalent

Or don't. You do you.

Anyone hiring a Sr. AD or Sr. AD/CW partners in San Fran? I need to not be in Chicago anymore and ready for change!!! I need to get those creative juices and inspirations going again :p

Open to other west coast spots too :)

What are the differences and similarities of copywriting at an ad agency vs. a branding agency?
The reason I ask: I feel unfulfilled in my current role as a direct-response copywriter at a tech company and am thinking through next steps. I crave coming up with creative ideas and concepting with a close-knit team. I also appreciate brand strategy (I started as a junior strategist at an agency before realizing I belong on the other side of the brief).
Thanks in advance!!

Recently accepted an offer to be a copywriter intern this summer! 😁 It’s a goal I’ve been working toward for the past two years. Super excited, it’s a small shop with great talent who have worked at some incredible places. Was wondering if anyone had advice on how I can make the most of this experience and hopefully get signed on full time afterwards? Or how I can leverage the internship to find a Jr. role elsewhere?
