The copywriter stereotype
Last week I was interviewed regarding the stereotypes of the guys working in advertising, captured in movies. And that made me think. In movies, the copywriter is always the guy that would cheat on his wife or girlfriend. He would always flirt, kiss and take that smashing looking girl to a hotel room.
Why? Basically because the copywriter is that hack that was too crappy to be a writer. And the writer is the guy that can only write between the sheets of a stranger. One night stands are their fuel for creativity. Their love is limited to a pair of legs per night.
Now, getting back to the copywriters. They’re wannabe writers, and this is the only thing that identifies them with the true writer.
