About me
Here's a little bit about me. Having had around 10 years copywriting experience both as a dedicated profession, freelance and within the all my roles in some capacity, I am currently working as a Bookings Manager for a an advertising agency in Soho. In 2014 I landed myself the role of Communications and Operations Manager for a large scale event called The Game Fair (countryside pursuits, not video games!). Throughout the Game Fair I worked directly with the marketing team, writing engaging content for the website and social, generating both B2B and B2C marketing, direct mail and email for visitors and exhibitors, managing the website, writing copy and proof reading the show guide. I also maintain a blog about mental health - which has been retweeted by the likes of Mind and Heads Together to over 100,000 Twitter users. In my spare time I freelance for a local musician by organising events, setting up and maintaining his website, email and Twitter, writing press releases and contacting news and radio outlets to generate articles, and writing the copy and content for promotional material. I also dabble in a little singing myself! I hold a 2:1 Bachelors Degree in Journalism and have lots of experience working within radio and print.
