How do you leave a company that's been so good to you ?

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

Does Maximum Effort actually hire people? Is it anything like an actual agency or is it mainly just an offshoot of the production company

Hey guys, can anyone quide me to get some freelancing work, or projects?

If i haven’t signed anything with my firm regarding repaying them for receiving my series 7 license with them I’m assuming i owe nothing if i leave? Is there a way to find out without my manager knowing I’m looking at other firms?

So, I haven't received an offer yet but they have already run a background check and sent me both a conditional U5 approval and a FINRA info request. Can I assume that an offer will be soon to follow?

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?

Staying connected with a recruiter on LinkedIn that ghosted me in hopes they will see the update when I start my new and way better job 😌

Been friends with a girl for years (I’m a M). We recently have been getting closer and chatting a lot more. I told her I’m starting to develop feelings for her and that I want us to try dating. She said she’s going through a messy breakup now (wasn’t a clear yes or a no response). Do I continue to get closer to her as friends after that conversation or is it better to give us both space?

Just got promoted to ACD. Will be taking on more leadership roles. Any books, workshops, resources that helped you learn leadership skills?

Creatives who left for tech. What is it exactly that you do now? Is it still writing or art directing? Or a different creative role? Hearing about people leaving for tech so I want to know what it means exactly aside from the benefits.

Curious about Fortnight in Colorado. Are they an actual agency or a ‘we’ll piece together teams for everything’….? What else should I know. Would you work there???

Any advice on asking for a raise? Thinking about asking for one at the end of the summer. That’ll make a year and a half at my company. And I’ve produced 2 campaigns so far, plus one off work. Hopefully by end of summer I’ll have made something else. My only point as to why I deserve a raise is the amount of hours I work though :/

Just me and SVP’s left in meeting. They’re talking about the planner’s outfit. It’s “whorish.” I’m silent. One notices. “You can’t say anything because you’re a guy,” she laughs. I leave.

Really over seeing teams with no black people win awards for campaigns supposedly serving the black community and our experiences

I believe I was just ghosted by 2 different recruiters within a 3 hour window. Is that some sort of record? Do I get a prize?

I feel like account management is increasingly becoming the “meetings and deadlines” department.

They throw client requests at creatives and strategy. They have no clue what the client wants or needs, they don’t ask questions to the client and just expect creatives and strategy to figure it all out while they build timelines and due dates. When you ask them questions their best answers are “let’s connect on this offline”

Change my mind.

What’s the juiciest piece of gossip ya got right now?

We’re starting to interview for my copywriter partner this week, but I don’t have any creative leadership above me (I’m also the only creative with agency experience at the company) so I’m nervous about being the only one looking at prospective partners.

Any tips for good questions to ask to feel out who is the best fit? I’ve worked with great and not so great writers in the past and it wasn’t always clear which would end up being the not so great based on their books.
