Have worked with different writers and it is always interesting to learn people’s concepting process. What are some interesting ways you like to concept?

Ideally, we both spend a little time alone to think and then come together with our ideas. From there we chat about things and write stuff down in a google doc

I feel that simply coming together and brainstorming right off the bat isn't productive.

Rarely have time or space to do it, but I think the best way is to write each idea on its own sheet of paper and stick it to the wall in a conference room

I read an article on advertising brainstorming forever ago (in journal of advertising research that’s right nerd alert) and they said same thing - best for creatives to go off and brainstorm on their own, meet up, discuss their best ideas, pull best nuggets and work from those. Otherwise it’s just 2 people staring at the ceiling. The worst is where you actually do the work and the partner is like “I dunno man I didn’t think of anything...” (Smokes doobie)

Def have to work solo first, and then connect with the team. I make sure my idea can be captured in a sentence, and then I write as many as I can think of, set them aside, and then come back a couple hours later and the ones that feel complete and workable always jump out to me at that point.

Wow! Yea I have brainstorming alone as well and meeting up with my partner. It hasn’t caused a problem but I have noticed that there have been some 1 off partners that I have great success with brainstorming together but I’m starting to realize it’s def a chemistry thing.

Hi creatives! I need your help here. A quick background:

Junior copywriter based in Toronto here. Came to Canada about a year ago and did an internship at Klick Health.

Once it ended in late August, they didn't take on ANY intern full time. Been job searching for the past 3 months. Would really appreciate any leads/insight on some entry level gig or internship that might be available in this city. I know it's year end and it's hard, but I am still hopeful as I have seen people still get hired.
