Started new job 2 months ago and for the few projects I've done feedback from my manager has been good & things overall going very well. This week was asked to work on something I felt confident about but instead of giving me feedback she basically ignored my copy & used something else (whether she rewrote it or who knows). Should I ask for feedback or clarification or just forget about it? Not at an agency if that matters. Been a writer for 20 yrs & can't remember the last time anyone did this

Once that happens my recruiter should send me the offer. Either on the day she comes back, but by the end of the week. I am going stir crazy, I really hate my current job. Help…

Does anyone have a recommendation for a successful diversity focused job board?

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?

Please help! I'm looking for writing terminology. At our agency, we are getting more into creative writing vs ... executional writing? Please help me find the right term. Creative means developing the big idea (concepting), writing scripts and headlines with flair, etc.) for an awareness "hook" and then the other camp, which includes brochures, one pagers, banner ads, sales sheets.

What should we call the other type of writing? (Cont in comments)
