Hi folks! Obviously AI is inevitably part of our industry now , and I do want to be levelling up with how it’s used and what I understand. I can’t count on my work for the growth / development so I want to do my own musings… I love learning , SO …any content , courses (free or not free), or other resources you’ve been looking at that’s been helping refine skills (apart from learning by doing?) *based in Canada. Doesn’t need to be AI, just advertising in general !! Happy Holidays!

Any cat owners experience hot spots? My cat has been getting them 2-3 times a year for 2 years now and I'm worried there's an underlying cause

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

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

If you are approached for copy position with a company called LadyBoss... RUN! I don’t know racket they’re running but they set up a video conf with a bunch of copywriters interviewing simultaneously.

How common is it for writers to go to the video shoot they co-wrote? If they aren’t invited, and the CDs go instead, is that a leadership perk or an insult?

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
