About me

As a recent graduate working in the marketing department for an international children's charity, I have realised just how much I enjoy, and how much passion I apply to writing. For the most part, my current role lends itself more to the design side of brochures and literature, but it is the copy that I crave to produce. The copywriter within my current employment noted my abilities and offered me the chance of assisting her by picking up odd jobs, mainly press releases, and it was through this opportunity that it became clear to me that a career in copywriting is one I want to pursue.

This career choice is certainly not a new realisation. Whilst studying advertising at university, it became obvious to me that it was the copy side of the promotional media that I was stronger in. Alongside the slogans and descriptive text used within adverts, my writing ability was able to develop through a constant production of essay writing. My tutor would often encourage me through this, acknowledging that the essays I produced were at the high academic standard that led to my first class grade.

Thank you very much for considering my application. Although unfortunately I do not have a digital portfolio at this stage, if you were to invite me to an interview, it is something I can certainly provide.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours sincerely,

Kate Russell
