I wish someone would create a book entirely on copywriting or art direction daily exercises that train us juniors or students to get better since creativity is a muscle. Sure, hey Whipple or the ad concept book do have some exercises, but I want more exercises that are bit more structured.

I would definitely pay money for that book.

Hoping this gets more traction as most are WFH. Also happy I just found this bowl.

Hello All,

Please help me to unlock DM features.

Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!

Got a personal email from HR asking to evaluate our executive team’s performance. Thinking this is a no win situation.

Hey there!

So that’s the first time I am in a role where I am trusted to chose platforms and services to use, and I am overwhelmed!
I work for a B2B company, and am searching for a platform where I can monitor seo, and manage social media primarily.
I’m obviously looking at hubspot but what other platforms (combined of individual) do you like most?

Should I transition to a tech sales job? Thoughts on risk vs reward? I am 34 yo, married with a baby incoming. I work at Google Cloud in solutions engineering (I help develop quantitative business cases with sales teams for customers). My cash base + bonus is $220k (going to ignore equity). I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.

Freelancers: what umbrella companies do you recommend? Had a bad experience w/ Parasol & looking for alternatives (avoiding the LTD/sole trader route as I can’t be bothered w/ invoicing/accounting).

More than a year since I made anything folio worthy. I have produced stuff, stuff that was very close to being good just before it was dramatically worsen by suits, clueless leadership and the production agency. I'm losing interest very quickly, and I don't want to

Is there anyway to tell if your work product isn’t measuring up? Would the partner straight up tell you that your work sucks? This is me running on the assumption that some comments are normal...

How do you know when you have outgrown your boss?

What are some things you’d write in account person’s 360 review?

I want to test a theory: I feel like the Internet has turned brands into selfies. Their content isn’t about who they are, but about who they think they are. Basically just validation for themselves.

I have a direct report I'm trying to teach concision/focus to. She tends to be all over the place and doesn't make things simple and digestible for others. Any books you'd recommend or ways to teach?

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?

Cause my thinking is more of the former where you give the photographer their own take of the idea. Curious to know how you do it.

For those that take on small freelance projects on the side (more consulting/work for small companies, night/weekend hours), is it worth setting up an LLC for that? Do you typically lower your rate for small companies vs what it would be freelancing at a day rate for an agency?

Are y'all able to tuck away some savings from your income? I'm a Jr. Cw who's trying to be more responsible with my own finance. I realize that rent takes up a huge chunk of my paycheck.

How can I use what I’ve learned as a copy to work with, let’s say, reforestation?

When you think a CD you work with couldn’t possibly be a bigger smug fake hipster cartoon of adworld douche arrogance, and then you find out he worked for... Fyre Festival.

Anyone got great examples of brand that repositioned themselves?

Hi fishies! Over the past 2.5 weeks I’ve had two interviews with an agency. I thought both interviews went really well, and they said the same. After the first I heard back quickly to schedule the second. Now after the second it’s been a little over week with no follow up on next interview. Is it too early to send a follow-up? Would you follow-up at all?

Talent retention | There has been alot of people leaving Agency life for other careers which offer more work life balance or benefits or even just going solo. Your thoughts? How long do you plan to stay in this field ?
