I just had an AD flat out refuse to use my headline ideas and insist that we use his (confusing and sophomoric) headlines. What would you say/do?

Joined this week. What can I expect from Mr V

When leaving a remote job, should I expect an email from HR about final days, equipment return, final pay check etc? How far before the last day of work should this be sent?

Farer watches - can anyone speak from experience if they are any good / worth the $1K+ price?

Any HR due diligence professionals - my firm is looking for a Senior Manager. Will have significant say in how the whole shop is run and no utilization minimums. Small team with a steady pipeline but looking to grow at the manager level and up. Reach out if interested. FYI: I can’t get a bonus for this because it directly benefits me. We just want good people.

How do one go about looking for Art Director positions within the fashion industry as well as the print industry? Considering Brand side over Traditional advertising, due to the industry being halted due to COVID!

Sometimes I really feel like my anxiety and overall personality is not fit for advertising. I constantly feel disconnected from my body & extremely reactive in situations (think Black Albert Einstein lol).

Does anyone else with GAD / MDD have coping techniques they’re willing to share? Or do I need to either adjust (to ad land) or bust (out the door)?

What would you say is the average time to go from Jr. Copywriter to Copywriter?

I’ve been a Jr for just over 2 years, plus a 9 month internship where I was very involved in the role. So just about 3 years experience at this agency. If I don’t get the title bump at my upcoming review, should I be worried?

Was told that I need to add "my unique touch" to my ideas... Something that when people see it, they can tell it's from me. Which is really strange to me cuz I've been trained to be invisible, to take on the brand voice. How do you find your "touch" ?

I feel like I’m screwing up at my new job and I can’t seem to get it right. Not sure how to handle it.

Client wants to add a process where they can constantly see the copy character count in the stuff we submit. Any easy ways on doing this besides manually adding it?

I've been writing copy for social media for years, but I'm looking to expand into different types of writing. Does anyone have any recommendations or resources on how to level up my copywriting outside of social?

Is it normal for a recruiter to ask for your date of birth (Month and Year) and the last four of your social? 👀 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

The recruiter says the client (Pharma) is asking for this. 🤔 What say you?

Copy for paid social and funnels: online course best practices? Anybody have a good resource for direct response Ad copy that converts?

Any copywriters in Miami wanna partner up and make some ads?

Do you find that you speak figuratively or in analogies more than non-copywriters?

How do you present copywriting for a client's website?

Any high-level writing classes or coaches you’d recommend for a CD if English is a second language? This someone who is great at ideation, but needs a bit of help with the mechanics of great writing.

Anyone else unemployed and trying to stay mentally sharp during *gestures broadly to everything*? Thinking about taking an online class or something. Suggestions?

What are agencies looking for in a cover letter? How risky and “creative” can I be? If anyone has a good example, that would be so helpful. (My current job did not require one.)

Recruiters, man. I’ve been ghosted a few times after having good introductory calls. Why......

Am I doing something wrong? Is my book not strong?

Does anyone feel like 80% of your job is making changes so higher ups can justify their salaries by “marking their territory” on creative?

I think my Copywriter partner is broken.

Symptoms:
Lack of effort.
No consideration on how their performance effects me.
No sense of urgency.
Hides behind me instead of taking responsibility.

I took a senior copywriter role too fast and my portfolio isn't as good as the other seniors :/

Hi friends. Freelance Senior CW (7-8 years) here, currently negotiating a 2 month freelance contract at mcgarrybowen. They want my hourly rate which is always tricky in my opinion. My typical day rate is 800/day (Atlanta, Chicago). I'm thinking of saying $100/hour, but want to be competitive. Thoughts?

(For context, I have no idea whether this is for their NYC or Chicago office.)
