How do I make the jump from agency world to tech as a copywriter? Are there any major differences in the roles?

It’s not that different in my experience.

I imagine it would probably depend on the size of the team, where bigger companies would have the room to basically have an internal agency, while smaller ones would require you to do a lot more.

Depends on the company. Most large tech companies have teams structured like internal creative agencies. Skill sets and responsibilities transfer for the most part. You do wear more hats in-house.

What I recommend is making sure you have some tech client projects in your book to show you understand that world.

Otherwise, much like agency life it’s about connections. Find creatives through LinkedIn connect that way. A referral goes a long way when places are hiring.

Thanks, much appreciated

I’m not sure but maybe ask the OP on that latest post!
