One of my cousins is one the most talented copywriters in the region and possibly the country. She works for an ad agency called Brokaw and they do some pretty cool stuff. They're a smaller agency but that doesn't stop them from doing amazing work. I know in past years at the Addy's (The Oscar's or Emmy's for advertising), Brokaw and specifically my cousin Erin walked away with boatloads. I've always been interested in advertising and I really like the possibilities of where the industry can go so I'm thinking this is where I would like my next career move to go. I started talking to my cousin on what she thinks are the best ways to get started in the ad industry. There's always the chance to start on the business side and work my way towards creative and such. Another thing she suggested was that I start working on a book or portfolio to show my potential as a copywriter.
I decided to work on a book of my work and see how I do. I get very nervous when it comes to
submitting any work I do. I find that I'm overly modest when it comes to things I've produced strictly on my own. If I want to become a copywriter however, I guess I'm gonna need to get over that.
I'll probably start posting some of my ideas soon.
Until next time,
Alli
