Was asked by our strategy lead for resources to help strategists write more creatively, rather than functionally, in terms of storytelling, creative writing, messaging even (not necessarily copy, but could be extended to that). Any suggestions? I feel like this is more of a workshop/bootcamp that needs to happen, rather than a bunch of links?

Does anyone in here work exclusively with B2B enterprise marketing using paid ads on Google and Facebook?

Hi,
Quick question: Do you think is it fine to be asked for preparing an outline for marketing plan as an assessment test so, employer decide if you will be the right fit for position ?

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

MBA background check: do they do detailed reviews of your essays? Like check anecdotes? Some of my verb choices likely give myself a bit more strict than I deserve. Do they call other managers?

I just wanted to reach out and let you all know I understand how tired and beat down we all feel at this point in the year. I’m feeling it too. I also know exactly how students can try us. What I’m working on every day though is to see my kids as God does… not the kids that know how to push buttons and drive me crazy, but as the beautiful lives they are, all deserving of the best we can give them every day. I know it’s not easy, but that’s what I’m working on.

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE). They seem to vary a lot, and are broadly low vs. other markets (mid $100k-low $200k vs TC closer to $300-$400k+ on the coasts). Any observations? Which companies would you look at for more substantial comp outside consulting?

Does anyone else here have a hospitality management degree? Do you think it was worth it?

What is reasonable to ask in a potential new job if you’re currently earning $50K. Is $15K too much? What’s a good range?

"Use the approved language."

"Why'd you use this language?"

I'm new-ish to copywriting after working as news reporter and TV host for years. I'd like to start putting together a portfolio of my writing, but I'm not sure what a marketing copywriting "book" should look like. I have emails, blog articles, promotions etc. Any good examples or resources you could share?

I once had a creative director tell me to add a blog of my own to my portfolio to make it more personal. Thoughts? If you’ve done this, how did you approach it?

Are puns always bad? I like them as cheat codes for making boring things slightly more entertaining. I don’t want to spend hours thinking for a line for a social post we are just doing to fill up a content calendar

Tips for how to start off on a good foot at a new job? Also on how to balance that with taking ownership of the work/asserting yourself, especially when the people there are used to you freelancing (which was less assertive, and similar work but a lower title)… thanks!

Feel really terrible at writing sketch comedy. I think this is just something I just cannot do. Anyone with tips? Advice? Anything?

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)

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

🙃🙃🙃

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.

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?

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?

I was hired to work on one account as the only writer. Told they’re handing me another account (or they may hire another writer). I need and want more responsibility and $$. How to negotiate??

Just had to go to thesaurus dot com to look up synonyms for “exciting”. I think I need a vacation….

Anyone do any work in web3/blockchain/metaverse?

Trying to break into advertising, specifically copywriting.

Are there any programs, schools, or courses that I can complete online while also working full time? Thanks!

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

There’s an Art Director at my job who helped with a new business pitch and came up with the WORST headline construct without consulting me or any copywriter. (Cont)

Can we talk software? Is anyone using something other than Word or Google Docs for writing and managing their stuff? I’ve been looking into Craft and Obsidian lately, but I’m not sure if it’s just going to complicate things.

So, what do you write in?
