Interesting Facts about the career
Contrary to popular belief, copywriters don’t copyright stuff. They come up with groundbreaking ideas and craft them with words.
As a copywriter, you’ll need your own space to date.
Copywriters work alongside technologists, strategists, photographers, filmmakers and—in some cases—even astronauts. You’ll work with some of the best professionals in their fields to bring your ideas to life. As a copywriter, you get to take on more than a single role. You are a writer, poet, songwriter, storyteller, screenwriter, inventor, scientist, researcher, carpenter, soldering specialist, sommelier, graffiti artist, photographer, art director, designer, singer, dancer, drinker, thinker, pickup line specialist, novelist, teacher, doctor, nutritionist and anything else you can think of. It’s never the “same-old, same-old.”
You’ll create world-changing ideas that can bring down tyrant dictators with minuscule flash drives filled with bootleg episodes of Friends or save animals on the brink of extinction with a simple eraser.
