I've always worked at agencies where I had to do art and copy. Anyone else here do both? Whether out of necessity or interest, I got comfortable doing visuals and copy and now managing a team with different disciplines. I am looking for a new job at the moment and am not sure if recruiters want a specialist or if it's OK to say that I can do either. I've never worked at a "traditional" agency FT except for freelancing. Do CDs and above work in pairs still?

Do you have a creative portfolio with produced work?

Yes

I do both these days, working solo and with whoever I need to at any given moment.

Started out in art direction and design, working in pairs. As you get more responsible for steering agency creative output, you need to have the skill and taste in both to steer and also help out as needed.

That said, I actually probably spend more time writing copy/scripts than art direction/design these days, which is weird but also interesting I guess.

Same here! I have been asked frequently by recruiters if I have a partner and if I am art or copy so was wondering if I need that for traditional/ holding company type agencies.

Appreciate your inputs.

Thank you.
