Episode description

RE-RELEASE. Continuing with our summer series of re-running our favourite and most popular podcast episodes, we are sharing an episode from August 2022, with agency copywriter Damien Whelan.

If you're as Mad Men-obsessed as we are, you're probably keen to know how copywriting on the agency side differs from other types of writing that copywriters do. 

In our chat, we talk about:

  • How did he get into agencies? 
  • How does he come up with clever one-liners?
  • What's it like working on an ad campaign for a billboard?
  • How do pitch meetings pan out?
  • Do they often pull all-nighters?
  • How can freelancers get into agencies and become indispensible?
  • And is there really is a decanter of whisky on everyone's desk?
