Anyone else ever interview for roles outside of, but connected to, what you do at your agency, and realise that basically everywhere outside of an advertising agency seems to value you more? 😂

what kind of stuff are you interviewing for? I’m super curious now about what ADs could do that’s loosely tied in

I took a copywriter role at an ad tech company. The job was writing digital scripts for brands, pre roll and premium publisher content, stuff like that. What I found was, when the core product is the tech, nobody really gives a shit about the creative. That’s my warning—do you think you can be ok with work that’s probably below your standards?
