Hi, I'm Will
About me:
Experienced copywriter/comms specialist with a dry creative flair who dislikes jargon.
Equal sides of the fence on TikTok.
Loves writing long-form, sadly only my Mother likes mine. Cut my teeth writing hundreds of articles, captions, decks and scripts within the polarising world of influencer marketing. Moved into a global comms role; wrote bigger marketing decks, shorter captions and Cannes-winning award entries.
Landed in a creative agency. Won more awards. Flirted with PR.
Moved freelance; doubled down on copy that sells.
Copy that sells data science. Copy that sells sustainable smoothies. Copy that sells $500 hoodies, modelled by very unhappy-looking people.
I love weird briefs. I love making B2B human. I love making B2C provocative. I love giving campaigns substance. I bring a clear perspective and knowledge of all social platforms, backed up by experience in OOH, experiential and TikToking.
Great at storyboarding. Even better at crafting a memorable script.
Distils complex ideas into digestible simplicity and I'll make your ideas pop on a webpage.
A no-bullshit editor. I’ll reduce your word count quicker than Musk’s redundancy strategy. Great on deadlines.
My copy will give clarity to your ideas. I’ll make your brand distinct. Make it flesh and blood in a digital age scrambling for attention.
And, I write very good marketing emails.
Full-circle. Still lots to learn, looking for a new challenge.
