is it normal as a copywriter to feel like everyone’s little bitch?

Anyone do resume reviews as a side gig? What service do you contract through?

Anyone here from modern delivery team? Under CIO Advisory?

Is it possible for someone with anxiety to have a career at MBB? Anyone currently in this situation? How do you cope?

Best way to approach networking with MBB if I am planning to apply for roles in Jan 2024 (1 year from now). Do people start with their school alum and get referred to partners?

Seems like geothermal energy is quite literally an untapped resource and I wonder why we haven't invested more in researching its potential

Hi Everyone!

I am looking at hiring a Sr. Salesforce (Sales and Service Cloud) and Sr. Salesforce (Marketing Cloud) Consultants. They can be based anywhere in North America. If anyone is interested or knows someone who might be. Please shoot me a message or comment below.

PS - Open to Full Time Permanent opportunities or someone looking for contract work is also okay.

Anyone have insights into the Tech M&A consulting practice at A&M?

Which one is easier? Join FDD from FAAS or Audit?

Do we get complete variable pay in HCL?

Anyone in dc? Let’s get fucked up

Interesting.

Hi fishies,

I am a digital marketing professional with 4 years of experience. I was really frustrated in my current job due to extreme level of micro management and no growth career wise, so I have resigned on 3rd October. Tomorrow, after a meeting with ceo I will get to know how many days of NP I have to serve.
It would be really helpful if I could get referral from you guys.

I am ready to take remote jobs & even relocate to Bangalore or Pune.

Thank you!

So how are you planing to do mallet work this year with disinfecting in between kids, classes, etc?

What “self help” books are you guys reading? I just read Untamed by Glennon Doyle and wow, I want to start from the beginning again, but feel like I should read something else. Would love any suggestions.

Tis the season: If anyone is cleared and interested in a referral to ☝️, please feel free to reach out.

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?

Anyone do any work in web3/blockchain/metaverse?

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

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!

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.

I started a new job a couple months ago and am not happy. As I’m trying to get clear about what I want I’ve realized my happiest place is brand positioning / voice definition work. Is that still a thing primarily handled by big, coastal agencies? Any tips on how to find brand-centric roles like that?

Can we talk software? Is anyone using something other than Word or Google Docs for writing and managing their stuff? I’ve been looking into Craft and Obsidian lately, but I’m not sure if it’s just going to complicate things.

So, what do you write in?

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)

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

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

ATTENTION!! I’m looking for creative directors (art and copy) to work on some pretty amazing clients with our R/GA California office. Whether you’re solo or partnered up, I want to talk to you. And if that’s not you (right now), point your friends in my direction ☺️ 👏🏾☺️👏🏾

Has anyone put work in their book that the client denied? I wrote some pretty great lines for a client and it’s like they hate creativity. I really want to put them in my book, is that a bad idea?

Working with a Junior AD who’s too opinionated & doesn’t respond to my feedback well. He’ll just show ideas that I’ve already debunked/scripts that aren’t very good, which makes me look bad. Advice?

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.

Who’s working in house in LA? Where? Doing what?

Would a full time copywriter salary be higher for client side vs. agency side? Debating with a couple friends on it. Some say same. Some say lower at each. NYC. I know there are variables but...

Is it a red flag to interview with a potential new agency that I'd have to move to a different state for and they never give you a chance to ask any questions or fly you out to meet in person?
