I don’t know that “gross wine” is a particular problem I encounter, but this ad sure as hell thinks it is.

How long does it take to issue an offer? Just curious as I finished my last interview and am currently in that position rn

Does anyone have a corporate rate code for Equinox?

So who else here is experiencing plummeting billable hours and exponential weight gain since this whole WFH thing started? Bought snacks for 30 days, finished in 48 hours.

Fishbowlers. I got a bad performance review. I need to knock my next one out of the park. Open to any suggestions. S1 in month 6 of starting. I need to get quicker and be able to be a ‘lead senior’. How can I make a manager and directors life easier?

Honest question, Democrats always complain about the economy and that Trump is doing a bad job. I’m a little confused how they then support Biden who will repeal the Trump tax cuts? Pls no hostility

Trying to lateral and the conflicts clearance process could not be more frustrating. I'm at the point where I'm becoming resentful and annoyed at my new firm and I haven't even started. Is this indicative of my future experience there or completely unrelated?

Hi there! I currently work as a strategy consultant (2 years post-BA) and am trying to pivot into a pure data scientist role. I studied statistics in undergrad but don’t have industry experience on my resume. Anybody else go down a similar path? If so, I’d love to hear about your experiences. Thanks so much!

Copywriters, what are your main responsibilities on a shoot? I haven’t worked on many and am never sure if I’m being helpful enough. I’m always ready to do rewrites on the spot if need be, but don’t know if there’s anything else I should be helping the team with on set.

I peed in the ocean twice today at the beach 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

ISO a copywriter or technical writer who specializes in writing job descriptions or HR material. If you are that unicorn or know someone who is, could you send them my way?

I have a connection here in Atlanta who is in need of such services. You don't need to be local, FYI.

Have you had to take a copy test or been given an unpaid assignment as part of a job interview? If so, was it for a freelance gig or full-time job? Was it for an agency or in-house?

🎇What’s your biggest win from 2021?

Drop it below, let’s celebrate 🥳

Working with a Junior AD who’s too opinionated & doesn’t respond to my feedback well. He’ll just show ideas that I’ve already debunked/scripts that aren’t very good, which makes me look bad. Advice?

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

I’m a copywriter and I’m shite at writing cover letters, which makes me feel like a fraud. Any other writers feel this way? Any advice?

Are puns always bad? I like them as cheat codes for making boring things slightly more entertaining. I don’t want to spend hours thinking for a line for a social post we are just doing to fill up a content calendar

What do you think about 5G briefs and projects?

Do you need an insight when presenting social posts?

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?

I’ve been asked by a client to coach their team on how to structure and write scripts for their corporate event content (e.g. panel discussions). I’ve happily had a crack at helping them but it’s a bit out of my wheelhouse - is this ask something that would ordinarily be given to an agency copywriter? Or would it usually be something a content or speech writer would do?
Either way, I’m happy to add the additional skill to my CV 😅

Anyone else not like talking through stuff with their creative partners? I feel like all our time is spent getting on the same page with each other and we don’t really riff off of each other. I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault, we just have different personalities and senses of humor.

Any copywriters (in branding/otherwise) currently report to a strategist instead of a CD? Trying to have an open mind about them approving copy without judgement but it’s like pulling teeth for me.

Trying to break into advertising, specifically copywriting.

Are there any programs, schools, or courses that I can complete online while also working full time? Thanks!

Tips for how to start off on a good foot at a new job? Also on how to balance that with taking ownership of the work/asserting yourself, especially when the people there are used to you freelancing (which was less assertive, and similar work but a lower title)… thanks!

I once had a creative director tell me to add a blog of my own to my portfolio to make it more personal. Thoughts? If you’ve done this, how did you approach it?

Hello hive mind. I am currently interviewing with three agencies. Pretty far along with two of them. One of the positions is a Jr. copywriter position while the other two are just for a copywriter. How important would it be to not have the “Jr” before the title? Personally, I don’t care about the title, but wonder about future employer’s?

It’s feeling impossible to find a long lasting mentor-mentee relationship, especially when agencies are understaffed, timelines are ridiculously short and the best in the biz jump ship every two-ish years…

Does anyone have tips on how to become a better writer when you don’t have consistent senior writers around to share your with with?

Does anybody have any tips on how to write copy faster? 🥹

I'm new-ish to copywriting after working as news reporter and TV host for years. I'd like to start putting together a portfolio of my writing, but I'm not sure what a marketing copywriting "book" should look like. I have emails, blog articles, promotions etc. Any good examples or resources you could share?
