If you could banish one piece of corporate jargon to the fiery pits of advertising hell, what would it be? Mine is 'circle back'. I hate just hearing the two words and to make things worse, it always means I have to meet these people again! What's yours? Bonus points for creative alternatives!

Assuming that I'm okay with a salary of 70K and more, and that I really don't want to work at a law firm. Is it going to be difficult for me to return to law with two years of experience and one year working in a legal adjacent role.

Looking to do a solo trip for about a week somewhere that’s driving distance from San Francisco (anything within ~10 hours) this July/August. Looking for some good hiking and food. Last year I did Bend and it was great!

Any recommendations? Would’ve liked to do Yosemite, but pretty hard to find places to stay at this point.

Considering a move from NYC to SF and my office will be in Palo Alto. Any advice on potential neighborhoods to live in without needing a car? Would ideally like to live in SF as I’m single and still looking to explore the city. Would the commute via public transit be terrible? Perspectives from former New Yorkers would be great too. Have been on the East Coast my whole life and don’t know too much about the Bay lol

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year?

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.

Conceptually, is it typical for copywriters to bring far more ideas to the table than their AD partner?

Do creative directors have the power to ignore their copywriters and go with their own ideas?

How old were you when you started as a junior copywriter?

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!

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle

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

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

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

How do you say “buy this product” in a headline without saying “buy this product”?

Sincerely,
A Junior Copywriter with a shitty brief and an even shittier turnover time 😭😭🥹

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.

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.
