Client keeps asking for “more punch” and “extra sparkle,” but gives zero concrete feedback or direction. Every draft I send gets vague comments like “make it pop” or “needs more wow,” and I’m sitting here wondering if I’m writing copy or casting spells. I’ve tried asking for examples, clarifying tone, even doing side-by-sides, but they just say, “You’re the wordsmith, I trust you!” (Spoiler: they don’t.) What’s your go-to move when a client doesn’t know what they want but still expects polished perfection?

One of my client is the greater Philadelphia area is looking to fill two roles: 1. Senior Manager Category Management, 8+ YoE
2. Procurement analyst 2-4 YoE.

Can we get some experiences from people for Microsoft Federal consulting? Specifically the account delivery roles? Things like work life balance, time remote vs on client sites, compensation, etc? Would you say it is more like "Microsoft" or has that part of the company just replicated Deloitte, Booz Allen, etc?

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”

I just had my first behavioural interview with VCA for a Digital Consulting Manager role and the Dir said he was going to progress me to the next round.

I have never worked in consulting before, my background is all project management/marketing/advertising and I have an MBA. Wondering if anyone can give me an idea of the type of case questions they've been asked during their interviews for VCA.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.

Why don't we choose a time date and place

WEEKLY DEAL THREAD: POST LINKS TO SHOPPING DEALS HERE - March 23

I forgot to pay for an inexpensive item at the grocery store yesterday. When I realized my mistake, I encountered a dilemma of going inside and paying or going on my way. What would you have done?

Hi fishes... I wanted to know how the technical integration team is and what will be the in hand salary with 6.5lpa in Paytm

What are the main factors folks are considering as they make a decision? Solely ranking, money, just curious! Got into two T20 that are very different but see myself at both.

Does anyone know how the support escalation engineering role is like at MFST? Any insights would be so helpful..

I’m a copywriter in advertising, but I’m seriously considering a sabbatical to start a novel. Anyone have great resources for book building/novel structure guides?

I once had a creative director tell me to add a blog of my own to my portfolio to make it more personal. Thoughts? If you’ve done this, how did you approach it?

Does anyone else balk a little bit when applying for jobs and the recruiter or job description mentions a lot of blog writing and other content like that?

How do you say “buy this product” in a headline without saying “buy this product”?

Sincerely,
A Junior Copywriter with a shitty brief and an even shittier turnover time 😭😭🥹

ATTENTION!! I’m looking for creative directors (art and copy) to work on some pretty amazing clients with our R/GA California office. Whether you’re solo or partnered up, I want to talk to you. And if that’s not you (right now), point your friends in my direction ☺️ 👏🏾☺️👏🏾

Does your art partner contribute to visual descriptions when you’re working on scripts?

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

Thoughts about going back and forth between agency and in-house? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible?

"I'm not a copywriter so this is gonna be terrible BUT..."

🙃🙃🙃

Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.

Am I the only one that feels people don’t really understand that writing takes time? If anything, the shortest copy can sometimes take the longest time

What about using 3 one-word sentences as a slogan? I feel like it’s super played out, but I get suggestions for it all the time. Can’t we do better than mashing together words from the crestive brief?

Has anyone worked for McCann on the Phexxi/Annie Murphy commercial?

Would a full time copywriter salary be higher for client side vs. agency side? Debating with a couple friends on it. Some say same. Some say lower at each. NYC. I know there are variables but...

Anyone do any work in web3/blockchain/metaverse?

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?
