Before Signing Up: Tips on What to Say in Slack (and How to Say It)

Before you jump in, here’s a quick guide to what the channels are for and how you might use them. Think of it as a friendly roadmap for sharing, asking, and celebrating. Don’t overthink it. Everyone starts somewhere, and there’s no wrong way to join the conversation.

    • Example: “Hey everyone, I’m currently on the hunt for a junior copywriter role in LA. any leads or connections would be amazing!”

    • Example: “Just put my portfolio together and I’m looking for any Sr. AD or ACD opportunities in New York. Open to relocate.“

    • Pro tip: Keep it short, clear, and let people know exactly what you’re looking for.

    • Be supportive of each other. It’s a tough market.

    • Example: “Just tried this new coffee place near the office—10/10 recommend ☕.”

    • Example: “Who else is binging White Lotus?”

    • Example: “I need a good playlist for focused work—drop your favorites here.”

    • And yes, you can absolutely ask questions about advertising.

    • Example: “Super proud of the new ad our team launched today. Check it out: …….”

    • Example: “Me and my team at BYU won a One Club Award! Excited to celebrate with you all 🏆.”

    • Example: “Finally got my driver’s license.”

    • Other ideas: share a behind-the-scenes look at a campaign, a project you’re proud of, a shoutout to teammates, or even a fun win.

    • Example: “The team at Sid Lee is looking for a junior designer to join their LA office. Check it out: [link]”

    • Example: “Our agency is hiring a social media coordinator—happy to answer questions about the role!”

    • Pro tip: Keep it clear, concise, and include a link or contact info if possible.

    • Note: You don’t have to post salary info, but all internships must be paid.
