    • No, no, no...

      The guy you're thinking about has a big agency job now. He doesn't have time for us little folk here on this wee sub-forum.

  • Thanks for posting these, Bob.

    I do all kinds of copywriting jobs, I have turned down only a couple of opportunities because I felt they were unnecessarily exploitive and I was being asked to "fool people" and pretty much lie about the product/service.

    But I try as much as possible to be a "conscious copywriter", in other words, I tend to support those causes I feel exist for the better good, and I will occasionally write for free to help worthy campaigns that need my particular skill and support.

  • OK, Bob. I watched the videos. Why is there a crisis of conscience? Is a company asking you to lie? Are you being asked to write copy for an evil company?

    I think I may be missing something here.
