I'll start - recently increased CTOR on an email that has been stuck for a while. Yay!! Who else?

What's the biggest piece of junk science that you think is commonly accepted as true. Mine has to be that intermittent fasting will help you lose weight and become more productive.

Which cloud paypal use? For big data do they use Azure in there projects?

 I heard a commercial on the radio for Verizon that said something to the effect that parents are now learning how to lesson plan. Are any of you off the hook for lesson planning? Just wondering because I’m over here busting my butt!

Hi everyone,
Can anyone pls connect me directly to the manager for onboarding, instead of company's job refferal id wise, coz mostly none of the companies actually reach out. I'm tired of current organisation's politics and want to quit. But due to 90 days notice period not getting any calls for interview.

Please help.
Thankyou!

Single 24 year old here. Recently joined Hinge. I am barely getting any activity. I'm a former OKCupid user and I always got something there. Do people not use Hinge or is there something wrong with me? I'm a fit average height guy and I am not ugly. Looking for LTR especially now in the time of Corona. Didn't bother with human interaction before tbh but this loneliness is creeping up. 😔

Anyone do any work in web3/blockchain/metaverse?

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

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!

"Use the approved language."

"Why'd you use this language?"

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

Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year?

Does anyone else balk a little bit when applying for jobs and the recruiter or job description mentions a lot of blog writing and other content like that?

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.

Has anyone worked for McCann on the Phexxi/Annie Murphy commercial?

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?

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.

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

Thoughts about going back and forth between agency and in-house? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible?

LA! Hiring mid-level CWs and ADs! Must have video prod. exp. and be very conceptual.

Solos and teams apply!

Is it a red flag to interview with a potential new agency that I'd have to move to a different state for and they never give you a chance to ask any questions or fly you out to meet in person?
