I've seen some titles here called 'ACD Copywriter'. What exactly does that mean? I thought ACDs head the overall art + copy force. In the agency I work in, there's only one ACD. I'm curious because I'd love to aim to be an ACD one day, but I don't have much of an inclination for design. Wondering if ACD Copywriter only focuses on copy.

Currently an associate at a V30 and negotiating a partnership position at another V30. What is the correct way to maximize the pay in the negotiation as a lateral partner? I’m afraid of settling at a lower price than what they can do at the top end of the range! Do I anchor by asking for an outrageous figure or let them offer a salary figure first?

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?

Looking for a 1BR in Chelsea/Flatiron/West Village/Union Square. Any recs on buildings? Ideally <$4500

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Anyone out there exposed to SAP PaPM? I'm a product director and looking to see what the Bowl thinks of it..

Have any ADs out there jumped frlm an advertising agency to a more production-focused role? I’d love to do film/TV/music videos but not sure where to start because the idea of freelancing terrifies me

wisdom on getting promoted to mid-level at the same agency? I’d hate to leave but I’m coming up on 3 years of (real) experience & my agency is known to have CDs come in as seniors so I’m pessimistic

I tried to get an agency to tell me the salary they have in mind (any tips on how to get them to throw out a number first?)

They replied: "the salaries will be in line with market rate ranges in New York City for the respective full-time roles."

What are the market rate ranges for:

Senior Copywriter
Assoc. Creative Director of Copy
Director of Copy

Thanks!

Do you find that you speak figuratively or in analogies more than non-copywriters?

"I'm not a copywriter so this is gonna be terrible BUT..."

If that’s your Art Director, then why is he in my google doc?

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

Anyone do any work in web3/blockchain/metaverse?

If you are approached for copy position with a company called LadyBoss... RUN! I don’t know racket they’re running but they set up a video conf with a bunch of copywriters interviewing simultaneously.

I think it’s so crazy that once you sign-full time as a CW, you can’t freelance as well. Feels like there’s so many opportunities out there for freelance roles but the full-time gig steals us from them ☹️

How do you keep coming up with new headlines for the same product?

Shout out to everyone who’s ever had a white paper to “copyedit” that they just ended up rewriting entirely. I’m there today.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?
