Is out-of-home copywriting not as prevalent anymore? I can't remember the last time any of our clients wanted OOH copy... and it's making me wonder if this is because of AI tools being capable of generating great copy for OOH or just digital dominating all other kinds of advertising. What do you think it is? Do you still get requests for OOH copiy where you work?

OOH is having a resurgence, especially in the UK, but the new trend is mainly visual and minimal branding (eg British Airways, Tesco, Heinz).

I push back on ai doing great copy for OOH, haven’t seen it do that yet.

i think it's also the crazy budget cuts. It's causing shifts in marketing priorities and I'm sure if they were to cut down on anything, it would be reduced investment in OOH campaigns.

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?

Any thoughts?
