Has anyone made the jump from another industry into copywriting? I've been in entertainment for the last 5 years and am considering jumping into copywriting as it seems to still be creative but more corporate. Any tips or words of advice?

I did! Transitioned from marketing/comms roles in insurance to being a copywriter at an agency. I went to a portfolio school so I could build a portfolio asap and establish a network. I would recommend going to a portfolio program if you can afford it, it definitely gave me a leg up and helped me transition a lot faster. I’d also recommend talking to any as many people that are currently working as advertising creatives so you have a sense of the job before you transition. I didn’t do enough of that lol. I can’t say I regret it but I wish I had been better prepared for things like salary expectations and the career progression. Also be prepared to start at the bottom…

I went from being the talent to working in an agency.
