I saw the session with Sam Bradbury-Butler on Sean's Youtube channel and ever since have been thinking about going down the writing advertorial route to becoming a Creative Strategist which I believe means you wouldn't necessarily be doing the managing ads side of the CS role, at least to start with (which I see a s a positive thing). Anyone else already doing this sort of thing?

Loved the static ad training and I'm tempted to start offering static ads to beat controls vs the AI-video hook approach... has anyone tried this? Any success?

You made it through the velvet rope. Quick orientation so you actually get something out of being here... 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 Copywriters who are done being just copywriters. You want to reposition into creative strategy, land better clients, charge more, and stop writing $500 emails for people who ghost you on invoice day. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧'𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 The Classroom has everything you need to get started. Work through the Fast Start path in order. It answers most questions before you think to ask them. Beyond that: advanced trainings on outreach, offers, and ads. Maybe occasional live Q&A calls when I feel like running them. And a feed full of people actually doing this, not just talking about it. Jarrett and Ellie from my team are in here with me. You'll see them around and they may reach out to help you figure out where to start. ────────────────────────────── 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟏.
