Less than kind colleagues have suggested I’m so ancient I attended AWARD School with Leo Burnett himself. That said, I have been writing for a very long time and have a hell of a lot of experience.
I can, for example, write more than two sentences without breaking into a cold sweat. In fact, I love to write and do so as much for personal pleasure as I do for profit. I also have a strong strategic mind, understand the nuances of brand personality and am house-trained, so I’ll never embarrass you in a client meeting.
Nor will I tell you how to run your creative department or bleat on about the ‘good old days’. I’ll simply keep my head down, solve your problems and get back to my nursing home before lights out.
One last thing. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of Australia’s finest art directors and designers. The proof of which you’ll soon see as you look through this portfolio. Hope you like it.
