After 25 years at top London agencies, you could call me an expert in a number of creative disciplines. Advertising. Product and brand. Direct and digital. Content and social. Retail and sales promotion. B2B. And you get all that award-winning, 360 thinking on every brief. In-house trainedAs copy lead on Sky Protect I launched the flagship Smart Home Insurance. Writing the product itself, including the app with smart tech functionality and customer support, through to the app store listings and welcome pack. The website, including a streamlined buyer journey. Then the launch comms. Literally hundreds of emails, from acquisition to CRM and technical updates, along with experiential, display and social ads. And some blockbuster copy guidelines.Trust me, I’m a senior copywriterI’ve been trusted as copy lead on disruptive marketing firsts like TalkTalk’s Free Broadband Forever campaign and Times+, persuading millions to pay for journalism. I’ve been a solo writer on full YouTube channels for brands like Mercedes-Benz and Mars, working closely with directors and content creators. And I’ve sugar-coated hundreds of healthcare emails, articles and sales presenters for HCPs, despite having only a humble arts degree.It’s lovely upstream Writing isn't the only thing that gets me out of bed, or keeps me up late. I love exploring new creative territories and testing strategic propositions directly with clients. I help brands and organisations with tone of voice, sometimes on a budget or pro bono for startup investor decks. Human response copywriterAs the millennium bug prepared to wreak havoc, I was attacking layout pads as a direct marketing copywriter on my first creative placement. Since then my multimedia execution skills have evolved with the growth in interactive channels. I've shot ad campaigns and online film content around the world. I increasingly help create products, establishing tone of voice and building brands. I'm always looking for a response, from getting a click to a change in behaviour or an emotional connection. Character countsI approach every execution with the same craft and attention to detail, from a global TV ad to a pitch deck or social post with strict limits. Maybe that’s why I’ve won creative awards from direct marketing to online content and integrated advertising. These include a golden BTAA Arrow, two D&AD Wooden pencils, a sliver Cannes Cyber Lion, a silver Campaign BIG, two gold, a silver and a bronze DMAs and a silver Campaign Direct. And I've been part of the team in many effectiveness awarded campaigns.
