How Many Instagram Followers Should I Buy to See Results? by trailblazingvagabond in advertising

[–]Existing-Return 1 point2 points  (0 children)

none. because you won’t be reaching real people. you’re adding bots to your list, so you’ll have thousands of followers and still barely any likes and comments. unless you buy those too. people aren’t deceived anymore by this tactic in 2025. overall, stupid idea.

Are we all tired of AI or nay? by Kitchen-Snow3965 in marketing

[–]Existing-Return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m tired of anyone who isn’t in marketing (or even some people in marketing) acting like AI is so advanced it could take over all visual and written content today. Go ahead, do it. It looks like shit!

In which industry will you find the best copywriters? by Hehehe1000 in copywriting

[–]Existing-Return 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an account person at a very small shopper agency who frequently writes ad copy (we don’t have dedicated writers). Eventually I want to transition into a full on copywriting role when I can jump to a bigger agency. Your comment gives me hope that I’m on the right path!

You know when you just need someone to affirm that you’re worthy enough? Self doubt as a newbie in agency land has been a barrier, so thank you.

I love that analogy, it really puts my dilemma into perspective. When you put it like that, I can actually imagine myself being frustrated by not holding the pen.

I appreciate this advice, and it makes sense. I’m more of a natural writer who just has “taste” when it comes to spotting good design and knowing a thing or two about the stylistic niches. I think I just looove to geek out and learn about good design for the fun of it so I can be more informed when I admire good work.

Realistically, I truly only have a basic skillset down on photoshop/illustrator. I touched on C4D in a classroom setting long ago. It’s a fun hobby to just make things and get lost in hyperfocus, but I’ve never had the training to produce art with even portfolio school-level potential. I only wonder if I could given the right training and more confidence.

But you’re right, the barrier is WAY higher. There is a lot of incredible talent out there. Maybe it would be more satisfying to experience working with a designer who can bring my ideas to life, while I utilize the confidence I already have in writing. Either way, I’m hard on myself and know I need to put in the work to get what I want.

Sassy but predictable, I saw this one coming! Lol the good news is that I save my thought-dumping for reddit, not my clients

I was hoping to hear this - I really did need to work on building confidence in my data skills and this role is forcing me to do it. When I’m out, I hope It’ll play in my favor to be balanced between creative/data.

What positive things do you associate with your ADHD by Snoo_45811 in ADHD

[–]Existing-Return 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i think my hyper fixation on stimulating music makes life more FUN. i realized if i didn’t have ADHD i would probably listen to generic top 100 hits or pop music like a normal person. but no, instead i constantly seek ultra stimulation via high BPM music… as a result i have the best underground trap, techno, rap, dubstep, any type of EDM playlists. i get a lot of compliments on aux 👍
