Mr. Creative Director, will you marry me? Asks a Dubai Copywriter!
“Tell me Denis, why female copywriters often marry creative directors”? Well, that is a question. And coming from a T shirt wearing fresh graphic artist, this question has some value. Freshers time and again point out things (read truths!) we normally miss. This CW marrying CDs is not a hidden/new thing though. The phenomenon is old as the industry itself.
May be it is something like doctors marrying doctors and lawyers marrying lawyers. (Or is it true for every profession? Do rig welders marry rig welders? I am not sure…lol). These women content/copywriters with square glasses, pony tails, lose fitting white shirts and denim jeans see something special in our CDs. Is it the dedication our CDs show to their work makes them attractive? May be it is their creativity that is acting as a big magnet. (But magnets attract and get stuck with many nails, but that is another BIG story!).
When you accidentally bump into your ex-creative director after a very long time, you will be happy to know that he is now running his own advertising agency. He will ask about you and your career and even invite you for a beer. But only when you drop him at his house, you will come to realize that he is married to that copywriter intern you worked and fought with. While driving you start to wonder about a creative soul’s ability to keep secrets.
Coming back home you just ring the bell and wait patiently for your sweetheart to open the door. As a square glass wearing woman in white kurtas and pony tail welcomes you in, you will wink and smile at the world.
It’s a strange world my masters!

WTF are you talking about? Why would a female copywriter necessarily want to marry a creative director? Forget marrying him. I’m a creative professional, and trust me, as a woman I’d rather BE the creative director than marry him. So if that were me in that scenario, if he invited me out for a beer my only response would be for him to watch his back. Because I’m coming for his job.
