I’m genuinely excited and passionate about being a copywriter in advertising. I don’t want to harp on the gripes and it’s not so different from film and music these days. The push to safe is everywhere.

Any words of wisdom for things I can say to my higher ups in a one on one to get some opportunities? I feel like my book and background proves myself but the client work I get assigned to does not. Are my CDs unaware of what I can bring? I don’t want to be egotistical but I have conviction.
