I’m sure this is a great opportunity but whenever someone requests a Copywriter ‘who can actually write’, it always make me think of churning out Whitepapers on Cloud Computing.
Why does he want a copywriter? No one reads copy and everyone knows the client ends up writing it. I used to write the beginning joke and the end joke (they can’t do that bit the thickos) and let the client fill in the middle bit. Saved everyone’s time.
He’d be better off hiring 12 old women from Saffron Waldon and passing all the ads past them and whichever they like is the one he should approve.
We need to take a look at advertising regarding these riots and looting. The looters were trying to get trainers, mobile phones and ipads. We promote a fantasy that these “things” will make people happy. A lot of it is our fault.
you might have a point there shame, but if it wouldnt have been trainers etc., it would have been something else. its consumer society.
i would reject the general assumption that the looters are a bit stupid and easy to influence. they just dont care. maybe because no one cared for them?
crazy when it takes those means to realise dreams. what the fuck happened to them that would cause such nightmares.
Hey Ben, can I email you one piece to demonstrate that as an Essex Wheelbarrow Boy that I can write. It’s only 29k… and funnily enough that’s my monthly salary requirement;-) Ho ho ho if that’s my Christmas laugh, then what will I do for the rest of this blog?

What kind of agency is it?
An advertising one, obv.
But any more clues?
Small, friendly, successful, etc
Medium. Very successful. ATL. Little bit of digi. No whitepapers on cloud computing.
I can write short, write long, write funny, and write thoughtfully. I’ve even written a book. Oh, and I can concept too.

You shut up George.
No.
So there.
Let’s just get clients to meet us in ravaged, abandoned warehouses. That way they’ll think we’re ‘edgy’. And creative. Or something.
Pooface George.
