I'm dying to get into Ogilvy but I feel like they might be averse to how social heavy my book is (although I do have a really good client roster/celeb + shoot experience/etc). Any ins/tips?

Love the work they do — it seems like I'd have a lot more chance to produce bigger ideas and projects than I do currently.

Social is where it’s at. I’ve written and produced 4 Super Bowl spots among dozens of well received tv campaigns and no one is interested. If only I had a decent social piece in my book. You’ll be fine. Apply.

They actually are building their social department. So you’d have to apply to Ogilvy PRSI.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

Please help! I'm looking for writing terminology. At our agency, we are getting more into creative writing vs ... executional writing? Please help me find the right term. Creative means developing the big idea (concepting), writing scripts and headlines with flair, etc.) for an awareness "hook" and then the other camp, which includes brochures, one pagers, banner ads, sales sheets.

What should we call the other type of writing? (Cont in comments)

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?
