I have a question, fellow bowlaz! I work in a small advertising agency in Oslo, Norway, and we struggle to get in contact with international ad media such as Adweek (Ad Freak) and Ad Age whenever we want to show off our creative work. Does anyone of you have a way in, or tips on how we can get in contact with media outlets like these? Cheers

Even if they weren’t using Chat-GPT, why would the art director be writing or editing your copy?
yeah like she has 100% excuse to be straight up honest and say she used AI for placeholder copy. She asked me to review/edit if I needed. She's known this client for awhile so I completely get if she says "they're gonna want/need to mention this or that" but it's weird to get defensive about placeholder
I've used midjourney to make placeholder images before just to express an idea. I don't deny it, it's just interim add-ons
Every paragraph started with "its not x, its y". full of exclusively three-word lists at the end of sentences, two-word hard stop compliments after every list, and those random spaces before the first word of every new paragraph. she said "there's no em dashes" like that's somehow the only clue she clearly deleted them
also, english isn't her native language and it used extremely high-level vocabulary. when i asked what she meant when she wrote "exasperate" she didn't even know what the word means
I know, right? And AI uses them when you need a semi colon or a period!
Why did they even replace your copy with their slop? Crazy.

Which agency is allowing an AD to write copy?

Have you repeatedly had issues with her? If so, from the agency perspective it’s easier to a get rid of you, the freelancer, than it is to get rid of full timer.
That is odd. Agency or in house? I feel like it’s hard to be let go generally for small things like disagreements with your partner but maybe this AD has a closer connection to the CD than you?
agency, but she's been there forever, ive been freelancing for a couple months

Is she a staff AD and you are freelance? Sucks but that’s the way it is. Sorry OP.
