I’ve been at my agency for almost 4 years and my copywriting partner left just before start of holidays. Since finding out in Dec I haven’t had any response from leadership about hiring someone else to work with me and I haven’t been put on any briefs, just really small things…

I’ve done pretty good work in the past, and my agency seems to be doing well. How can I get them to hire someone or freelance someone and get me on the briefs I used to be on? Should I be worried or enjoy the slow time?

DM me, how much experience do you have?

Are you not on a brand team with others where you can be working with them on things? You don’t always need a writing partner to do your work. Hopefully your client has enough work that you need to do while you wait for more higher level concepting jobs with a partner. But ask your CD.

We definitely have enough work for me to help on, I just feel like I will be cut out of the conceptual brand campaign type work that I want to do and that furthers your career more than design or content assignments.

Don’t panic yet. People are still recovering from the holidays and projects are starting to ramp up for the year.

Give it a week. Then, reach out to both your creative resource manager and ECD for a chat. Frame it up as goal-setting.

Talk about your goals for this year. Then, bring up you think that you’ll need a consistent partner to help you achieve these goals.
