Copywriters are paid more because there are fewer of them.

i just had this discussion with my partner, i always thought writers made more but she explained it as, if it’s 10pm the night before the pitch. there isn’t much she’s doing, ADs put in the extra time to make sure the deck and the comps look perfect so that’s when they earn their extra

Great topic, strange tone. I feel like today, an art director with a diverse skill set, the ability to build across all media, will be highly sought after as a mid level person. But it’s been my experience that, and this is a gross generalization, that many copywriters’ learned strategic skills land them in leadership positions. Unless they’re extremely introverted.

Sorry for the tone! but didn’t want thread to be about the elite few on either side making major bucks. Just curious about the middle 50 percentile

Copywriter gets paid more, but there are a ton more opportunities for art directors. In Dallas, I constantly here from CDs about how few good copywriters there are out there but nobody is ever hiring for them

Hi Fishes

I need help to decide
I have got 2 offers
1. Tigerhall - 45LPA
2. Zupee - 42LPA
Which one I should choose?
In Tigerhall, I will get a lot of free time as the work is same as what I have done so far in my career therefore, I can focus on more things now.
In Zupee, I will get to learn new skill which might be good for my career.
Also, comparatively in hand salary of Tigerhall is higher than Zupee (it will less tax deduction as it's a Singapore based company)
Please suggest

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
