Hello All, I just found this forum as a result of some Googling. Essentially I’m just after a bit of advice if possible. I am looking at returning to study, specifically with the aim of gaining work as a Copywriter within the advertising industry. In my early twenties I spent two years as a full time Copywriter for a radio station in NZ, and more recently I’ve done some freelance work for a small advertising agency here in Melbourne. But for the most part I have been slaving away in bars and cafes and the like! So essentially I have some experience, but this is not enough. Which of the courses available in Melbourne would anyone recommend as being the most recognised and/or rewarding? The Creative Director at the agency I was freelancing for recommended ‘Award School”. Thoughts or feelings on that option? Lewis. |

Hi Lewis, Thanks for your post. To be honest, I don't know much about copywriting courses. I've never done one and I don't pay much attention to the educational background of my freelancers. What I'm interested in is proven copywriting ability. I think this is the case for most people in my position (i.e. writers who outsource a bit of work) take this sort of approach. I suspect qualifications help if you're trying to get work from non-writers, 'cos they can't always tell how good you are just by looking at your work. Having said all of that I've heard of Award School, so at least that says that it's fairly well known (if I've heard of it, it must be!!!). You might also consider the offered by Magneto. I know the guy who runs it. He's a good writer and a decent guy. And finally, you might consider reading some of the . Hope this helps. Cheers. |
