When you’re just tryna have a good time somewhere and your friends ask “what’s a good caption?”

Don’t make me think anymore 🙄😞

What is the scoop on Highfield? Has anyone worked there? What does it even mean to be a social media agency at this point (i.e. not MRY)?

Best wireless headphones for conference calls?

Does anyone know Novantas and how big they are, how the work environment is, and what type of work they are known for? Just never came across them before... Thanks all

Boyfriend is visting fam. Trying not to get frustrated but he takes a whole day to answer texts

Does anyone have good references on design thinking? (Books, podcasts, etc.)

What’s going on with Leo? Heard a lot of people are leaving.

I have leather bottom oxfords with me and it’s supposed to rain. Is it okay to wear in the rain? Can’t be avoided

I'm quite a bit older than a lot of my coworkers in the same position because of how late in life I ended up getting my degree. How do you relate to your coworkers when your past experiences and place in life are so incredibly different?

If there are any early career professional systems engineers and integrators with some experience on government programs that are looking for a new challenge let me know if you would like a referral to Peraton! They sponsor professionals for higher clearances so you don’t need to already have a TS/SCI.

I am getting older. But more importantly: I am bored...

It’s such a lonely feeling that no one in my family understands what I do for a living.

I’ve been in analytics for the better part of a decade, and my family still can’t seem to understand what it is I actually do. No matter how many times or ways I explain it they just get confused and blow me off as just doing math all day.

What is the value of having a TS/SCI clearance?

Mid-year review time.

Are you meeting or exceeding your objectives?

I’m not talking about the objectives your manager set FOR YOU.

I’m talking about the goals YOU set for YOU.

- Finding work that fulfills you
- Joining the company that aligns with your values
- Getting paid what you’re worth

No one sets these for you. You do the work.

There’s still 201 days in 2022.

How is working at GT?

Question for anyone who was laid off but found a new job:

If you request unemployment between the offer and starting, do you not receive the benefit? Worried about stating I've received an offer and that I'm no longer looking, though my new employer is the one having me wait a few weeks.

Anyone know of agencies in the nyc area that specifically work on OTC brands?

I already have the SHRM-SCP. . would it be a value add to go for the SPHR as well?

How do you know when you’re good?

I want to get better at VO direction. Anyone have good tips or resources?

Adding analytics on resume question:

What stats do I use to show growth if I can’t compare one email campaign to another?

I could use CTR but that doesn’t seem very impactful as a one time stat. (ex., stating CTR was blah blah %)

What daily habits have made you a better writer?

How can I land a job in copywriting/creative when I've been in paid social for a while and don't really have a strong portfolio? Where's the best place to start?

Looking for a writer to tackle a style guide. Anyone available Friday 8/21?

When the level of editing/rewriting you get is directly related to your boss’s stress level... Enjoy!

Good resource for brushing up on technical skills like grammar? I was hired for my creativity but I wasn’t an English major so I’m finding I have a lot of gaps on the technical side of things.

I’ve wanted to leave my agency for a while and it’s gotten even more toxic during the pandemic. How bad would it look on my resume if I just left to freelance? I’m beyond burnt out and have a good amount of savings.

I’m a copywriter and I’m shite at writing cover letters, which makes me feel like a fraud. Any other writers feel this way? Any advice?

Heard AmEx is building an in-house agency in NYC. Thoughts on this? Multiple recruiters have hit me up. Good time/place to go client side?

“Can you make this social copy sound more conversational?” The brand TOV is smart, but approachable. Tips on striking the balance between the two? It’s always an art director ACD giving this feedback, and they can’t explain what they’re looking for.

There’s a Nickelodeon writer floating about!

I didn’t want to hijack another thread but I’m so curious.

So...what’s it like?

Thoughts on Havas? Considering a switch!

Hiring ACD/Sr Writers for The Narrative Group. Fun work. Fun teams. Woman founded. Woman led. Remote for life. Hybrid model if you want to- offices in LA/NY/Chicago. I need pretty senior writer/ACD. Campaigns, social, brand, very solid understanding of culture & trends. DM me with your portfolio & we can chat! ❤️

Here’s a tip: if you’re stuck on any idea/job/whatever, write headlines. Even if the job doesn’t call for them, write headlines. Makes insights come quicker and ideas flow like water.

Write more headlines.

What are your thoughts on cover letters? Most agencies have an “optional” cover letter section in their job applications. Should I write one just in case?

You can’t make a crappy headline better by tacking a period on its fragment ass

Would you continue to interview for a role after the hiring manager tells you the salary cap and it’s below what you’d accept? Is there usually still room room to negotiate later on?
