I decided to turn it into a post to reach more people interested in this profession. At the same time, it will be my personal story: for me a textual sentimental journey, and for you maybe a curiosity.



I will start with a small disclaimer. Many people equate the work of a copywriter with asia rcs data writing texts. This is an important part of the job, but the competences and responsibilities of a copywriter are much broader. This is a person responsible for the creative concept of communication, not just following guidelines.



So let's focus on the career path of a future songwriter.



Why did I become a copywriter?

My adventure with advertising began with… the series “ Mad Men ”. It captivated me incredibly from the first episode. Around the sixth, I realized that I would actually love to do something like them. From then on, I wanted to work in an advertising agency.

I had already been professionally involved in writing, but as a journalist. I gained my first experience on regional portals, and then worked with Onet for several years. After watching “Mad Men,” I realized that I needed a portfolio to start a career in advertising. Texts that would confirm my writing skills in forms other than journalistic genres.
