About me

Hello, I am looking to become a Copywriter, preferably in an agency but I would consider any role which would give me a good opportunity to develop my skills as a copywriter. I graduated last year and have since worked in a number of roles in which I have gained experience writing copy for different purposes. I have done work experience at Cascaid marketing agency and 48 Fitzroy design and communications agency. In both agencies I have had involvement with their copywriting. I am a very competent and avid writer with a particular flair for charity copywriting although I have had experience in writing for other sectors. At Cascaid I have been involved in working on projects for two of their major clients (WSPA and RSPB) where I was given the opportunity of working with the creative department, contributing straplines and suggesting the editing of sections of copy after proofing them. I have also sat in on some very creative brainstorms for which I have occasionally made contributions which have been noted by colleagues. I am continuing to work at Cascaid gaining as much copywriting experience as they can offer me. At 48 Fitzroy I wrote my own sections of copy on various jobs which the creative director looked over and gave me useful feedback on.

During my six months working with the charity Debt Doctors Foundation UK I was often responsible for writing copy for promotional purposes. I wrote fundraising letters to potential donors asking for contributions in any form they could give, they had to be worded carefully paying particular attention to the tone of the language to give the correct impression to the trusts, foundations, companies and organisations. I also wrote copy for their educational website which required the same discretion as it was aimed at people suffering from the effects of being in debt. I was given access to the website and learnt web content management through which I inserted the copy and images onto the website.

I thrive on creating clear and inspiring copy from briefs that really capture the essence of the subject. I feel that in the majority of cases simple but compelling language is the most effective in copywriting for the clients you work for, and I feel I can produce this type of copy very successfully. I am capable of communicating very efficiently with clients and I have on occasion presented a brief or a project to clients and/or employees. I am very thorough and diligent in my work and have found through proofing that I am very capable of spotting mistakes in spelling and grammar. I am a quick learner and I have lot of energy and enthusiasm to put into any role I am given the opportunity to prove myself in.
