As a senior copywriter is it odd to have 6 pieces in your book or is that not enough?

A good six is better than a bad 10

Mr. Scott… really?

Depend how good are the 6. If you have 6 absolute killers is more than enough. And by pieces you mean 6 executions or 6 campaigns? That’s also different.

I have around that. The thing is, I won big awards with one campaign I did, that led me to better projects and suddenly I have 4 very good campaigns. 2 not as good but solid and after that the difference is abismal. Specially in production. Keeping it there just to hit a magical number doesn’t do me any good. I also have some personal/artistic projects but is a separate tab on my site.

If it’s 6 great projects it’s fine to me. No one really looks at much more than that. Chose a web design that doesn’t make them look small

Yeah 6 is pretty few for a senior

Any thoughts as to if some people scoff at an uneven grid (7 or 9 pieces for example)?

If it’s uneven, make it symmetrical so the bottom tile is in the middle or bottom two tiles

There are no rules. Do whatever feels right for you. ❤️

Oddly was gonna ask the same thing in the CW thread. Post was never made since the app froze on me while I was posting lol

But yeah I’ll have 6 campaigns in the next few months, hoping that’s enough to land a senior in the next year.
