I know this question has been asked to death but now with AI infiltrating our jobs, what jobs can you find after copywriting? Lost my job, major networks like Omnicom and IPG have total freezes on hiring, and Linkedin in my country (France) has had literally zero agency job postings for several months. I'm cooked, we have a kid, and we need to pay rent

Anyone from Deloitte in Houston have issues with their cell phone in the office? The place is like a giant intermittent faraday cage…

I’ve been at my company for 8 months. I just found out another designer who has been here for several years gets an annual bonus at the end of the fiscal year. I have never been told about a bonus and haven’t gotten one yet for the previous fiscal year that ended In July. Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?

I’m getting sick of getting a brief and asked to create a cool new campaign with amazing designs in less than a day. My best work isn’t turned around in less than 24 hours. And for background, I have pushed back literally every time. Nothing seems to be getting better.

Any Deutsch LA CDs out there who wouldn't mind perusing my portfolio? I hear you have some cw openings and I'd absolutely love to work with you and for Karen Costello. DM if so and thank you!

I always wondered what kind of side jobs that copywriter could do?
I barely get an offer and when i do, i felt bad for charging it much so i always go with “pay as you wish”

Can someone recommend a good photographer for headshots? I’ve tried two so far with mixed results. Don’t really like the final product and most are not great for a professional setting.

Hi All,

Few days back I had cleared 2 technical and one managerial round in JPMC. But not yet received any update from HR yet. Can someone please let me know how long will they take to contact after completing 3 rounds? And any idea how long will they take to schedule HR Round?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

My life is a #goingconcern

Pivoting from copywriting to _____? Interested to hear from copywriters who are either considering or have already transitioned into a totally different or somewhat similar creative role.

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!

Do you charge your clients for time spent on email communication?

My AD is weak at comping/photoshop and admits it’s not their strong suit. I believe it’s hurting us. Wwyd?

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 ☹️

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

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?

Sick of writing emails client-side all day and can’t seem to get into an agency. What’s another career path for a copywriter? Getting too old to try and become a teacher or anything.

RANT: People re-writing a cw’s stuff has always been painful. These days it’s far more common than when I started. It’d be one thing if they upgraded the work. If I learned from it. If I genuinely seethed with envy over their wit w/that perfectly placed semi-colon. People can’t re-art direct stuff bc they don’t know the programs so they ask the ADs for changes. Word and a keyboard made everyone think they can write. Which they can’t. Google Slides is Google slip ‘n slide into (bad ref. here.)

I’m overdue for a raise. On average, what percentage increase should I ask for?

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!

Just had to go to thesaurus dot com to look up synonyms for “exciting”. I think I need a vacation….

I was hired to work on one account as the only writer. Told they’re handing me another account (or they may hire another writer). I need and want more responsibility and $$. How to negotiate??

Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.

Does your art partner contribute to visual descriptions when you’re working on scripts?

Been thinking about going freelance. What are your best tips for making the jump and finding work? Should I just connect with a recruiter and gobble up contract gigs? Not sure how it all works.

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.
