I don’t think being a “generalist” is a disadvantage. in fact, it’s been my biggest asset. Over the last six years, I’ve written everything from SaaS landing pages to DTC skincare ads to nonprofit fundraising emails. I’ve seen peers hyper-specialize in tech or wellness, only to scramble when those markets dried up or client budgets shifted. I get that niches can be powerful, but isn’t range just as valuable? I’m tired of hearing “pick a lane” when the real power (to me) is being able to drive any car. Anyone else feel like generalists get overlooked in the copyworld echo chamber?

Sports Sponsorships
Hey everyone - I am currently in the process of evaluating a few sports sponsorships for a client. These are for minor league teams - nothing professional. Taking into consideration our marketing objectives, budget, etc. What are some good tips for pricing these out? Physical assets like billboards and programs are $$ but social media assets shouldn’t be *that* expensive.

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?

You must watch Social Dilemma on Netflix to understand the assault on democracy and rise of authoritarianism in this country.

Rather specific question - best beef tartare in town?

If you loved your small independent broker dealer but they had just been acquired by a much larger corporation which does have benefits in terms, mostly, in technology, but you lose your “family” in the home office, what would you do and who would you look at if you were considering a change of your own?

Anybody use a personal computer for work? How's your experience been, any horror stories/watch-outs?

I loved the simple plain village life story superb performances from all actors.

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.

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?

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

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

Has anyone worked for McCann on the Phexxi/Annie Murphy commercial?

Hi. I’m looking for a CA, OR, or WA-based writer who’d write blog posts for a product / lifestyle site about weed and west coast weed culture. Needs to be otherwise professional & willing to use name

How do you keep coming up with new headlines for the same product?

I think it’s so crazy that once you sign-full time as a CW, you can’t freelance as well. Feels like there’s so many opportunities out there for freelance roles but the full-time gig steals us from them ☹️

Have too much on your desk? Maybe one of those briefs is a bit boring?
Send it my way, I'm here to flex my copy muscles for you.

All I ask is you give me feedback when I send it back.

Would a full time copywriter salary be higher for client side vs. agency side? Debating with a couple friends on it. Some say same. Some say lower at each. NYC. I know there are variables but...

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?

Is it a red flag to interview with a potential new agency that I'd have to move to a different state for and they never give you a chance to ask any questions or fly you out to meet in person?
