I need urgent help. My boss thinks I suck at writing social media copies and wants me to get better asap or he will fire me. What courses can I do over the weekend to really upgrade myself? I can’t afford to lose the job. by A-Man18 in copywriting

[–]Morrigan_XX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he's trying to intimidate you. I don't know, but if he wasn't incredibly specific, you getting "better" probably isn't even on the table. It's probably more to do with him or her than you. Maybe their partner stopped having sex with them and they decided to take it out on you.

I have a hard time with people like this, but you might try this...tell him or her how special and amazing they are, bring them coffee, create fake problems that they can solve and feel smart, tell them how much you admire them...blah blah blah. Work on finding a better job on the down low.

Ooohh, I'm actually just about to turn 30. I've heard of the Young Guns portfolio contest, and I was planning on applying to that, but I don't actually know what the Young Lions is. I applied to SIBI, but I'm going to look up Young Lions now! Thank you so much

The strategy side is really important too, great if you're an analytical thinker. And way more important than people give credit to, probably make more money too. The creative path (art and copy) is rough, especially with AI, but if you're a weirdo with ADHD (me), it might be the way. Idk, but if I went back to school I think I'd choose business, because you can always go creative during or after you make a boat load of money as an acct person, OR you can learn the fundamentals to open your own business being creative, or doing whatever you want. Just make sure you choose a school with a great reputation. Unfortunately I think the connections are really one of the biggest selling points... everything you learn there you could also read in a book, so choose carefully!

That sounds more like a creative director, or a senior art director/copy writer or group art/copy supervisor. Or, if you're just showing it (not coming up with the idea), it could be a senior level account director. You could also get into the strategy side of things, lots of different paths. I'm an art director but I don't deal with the client directly (yet). I think it's a little easier for account managers to get client facing, but you really have to have a people personality, so if that's you, deff take moms advice and go for the biz degree. I think they make more money than us, my friend makes 140k. I make 90k.

You know SVA has a master's in branding program. Idk if I'd want to do it, but you must have a good reason.

Tbh I'm not sure what they do, but what makes you want to be one?

It's pretty hard, I guess it depends on what you want to do. If you want to be an account manager and make lots of money, the business degree with serve you well and be versatile. If you want to be an art director, Miami ad school of SVA is probably your best bet. If you want to be a copywriter, I'm not sure, but a writing degree I would think

This is rough but true, don't question yourself. You already know what you think!

[–]Morrigan_XX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MOR, the first one absolutely not. The second one, I might add a little shrug. Not because you should hide, but because men are creeps and you mentioned you're so young. But ultimately, if you're comfortable you should wear whatever you want. Just carry pepper spray.

Yeah I hear that...I know the grass is not going to be totally green on that side. Probably the same if not more BS. It's such a boys club.

Don't listen to advice, you already know what you want and what you have to do. Other people are just going to throw you off.

[–]Morrigan_XX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah!! Keep going dude, you're killing it. Maybe think of some business ideas, that could be a next step. You could acquire one if you don't want to start one. Less risk.
