Six months ago, I stepped into a copywriting role at Publicis West Africa with no prior experience in copywriting.

I am grateful for the opportunity to sharpen my skills and gain practical insight into marketing across different sectors.

I currently write social media copy for nine brands across infant nutrition, food spices, children’s beverages, fruit juice, soft drinks, and coffee. Managing multiple brand voices has stretched me in the best way.


Growth takes time. The journey continues.

Good for you! In a time of uncertainty and pessimism across the industry, it’s cool to hear this perspective. A lot of ad people don’t appreciate this part of the job. It can be cathartic to look back at all the brands we’ve touched - remembering the good and the bad.

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

Considering acquiring a blog/website that has good SEO value (DA, etc.). My site is complimentary (more product focused), but same niche. Is there a way to best integrate with my own site to retain/maximize SEO value between the two?

I am thinking perhaps I could simply redirect users to the new website when they click the "blog" section on my own website, but not sure if that's the best way. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.

Is it totally weird to request another meeting after getting a job offer to make sure it's a right fit? 🤔

I've noticed that sometimes I still have lingering questions. ❔

I've been burnt out by toxic work environments, so I don't want to make another mistake. 🙄

How would you handle this logistics of this meeting? (Timing - after the offer but with time before you start? How to phrase the reason why?)

Thanks! 🔅☺️

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand.

Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
