At 9:28am on August 14th, 2008, Max Katsarelas said…: Not exactly. I left school for a semester and seriously considered going to an ad school. I actually spoke to a dude at Creative Circus a few times and he was really helpful. I'm not sure if you know about ihaveanidea- http://ihaveanidea.org/index.php but they have some great information about the schools and a ton of other advertising resources.

Are you still in school?

At 9:42am on July 29th, 2008, Katie M. Lever said…: Hi Rebekah-
You can apply to one school and then decide where you want to start if you are accepted. Transferring acceptance is not a problem! As for one school being better for copywriting, they are all equal in curriculum- the differences used to lay in the teachers but we started to implement a Face2Face system that allows us to team CW and AD from different cities and have teachers in one city teach a class in many different schools. You can contact me at katie@miamiadschool.com if you want questions answered more in depth- I can also send you the application materials.

At 11:08am on April 16th, 2008, TJ Bennett said…: Hi Rebekah. I took one class at The Book Shop in LA. I thought it was great. All of the teachers are from LA's best agencies and they give you good, constructive feedback. You typically get a few guest teachers as well so you get a few different perspectives. I'd say it's definitely worth it.

At 8:07pm on April 15th, 2008, Patrick Dugan said…: Hi Rebekah, thanks for the comment. I kind of snuck into the creative department at my first agency...I was in the PR department and just started pitching in on some copywriting. But I think that's a good example of just going for it and doing what you can to get your foot in the door, as you said. Anything you can do to show that you've got the chops and a passion for smart copywriting will help. Obviously, if you can put some great samples together, that will help. You could also offer to freelance on a project basis. I see that more and more...agencies are often more comfortable trying someone out that way before committing to a full-time hire. Also, study the annuals, particularly One Show and CA...there is some outstanding writing in those. Good luck and feel free to contact me any time.
