Could be 2 years. Could be 10. I don’t know if there’s a “should”. It kinda depends on you and if/when you want to pursue more management responsibilities. Some people just like writing and art directing and don’t want to play that role.

It’s a bit fast, depending on how long your resume is. But if you’re doing amazing stuff over there, go for it. Depends on the agency too. Some want years of demonstrated creativity and leadership while others kinda hand out ACD titles like candy.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

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?
