I have my degree in advertising and took courses in copywriting. We are just the person who thinks up the commercial, billboard, radio ad, website, etc. We think up everything from close ups to long shots to sound effects and type of actors. We put it on paper which is what the director or artists work off of. So a portfolio with images isn't as necessary as a portfolio with all your work you've TYPED out. Advertising is a very broad degree and has many options to choose from as far as career paths.

So your sociology degree will help you if advertising continues to be an interest.<br><b>References : </b><br> Copywriters aren’t artists.
