I complete a month today as a copywriter, on my first job. Here are a few things that I have learned:
- Your day starts only 2 hours before the deadline.
- The art guy needs medical attention, especially when under pressure.
- The trainees are like small insects. They are there for no purpose other than dropping in when you are having your much needed snack.
- The smokers form a gang.
- There is ALWAYS a joker in the team.
- No matter how much you love what you are doing, you will always crib.
- The boss may find you talented, yet none of your work gets approved.
- The clients don’t know English- or any other language you communicate in.
- The clients always want things asap.
- You come up with awesome, groundbreaking, earth shattering ideas. But in the end – the boss IS your BOSS!
- Copywriters are always hungry. Art people are always sleepy.
- The net is always down when you need to send in the final presentation.
- An advertising agency cannot function without Trance music.
I think my ear is bleeding.
