About Simon Hills-Johnes

The last decade has taken me via various advertising, publishing, and media companies; where I've been lucky enough to work as a copywriter, journalist, producer, creative writer, creative manager, and creative director.During this time, I've had the privilege of writing for some of Australia's biggest brands, such as The Australian Government, Tourism Australia, Unilever, Sony Music, AVON, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola Amatil and Beiersdorf; as well as all the major banks and telcos. I've also been lucky enough to collaborate and learn from some amazing creatives and AMs from agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Group M, JWT, The Monkeys, The General Store, Leo Burnett, BMF and OMD. As a story junkie, grammar geek, and social media tragic; I specialise in crafting natural dialogue and features with shape for both speech and screen. I'm happiest when I know exactly who my audience is, and I always make an effort to meet with them before attempting to write for them. Before that, however, I'd like to meet you. So pick your pub, and let's talk about your next project.
