    Freelance Creative CopywriterFreelance
    London, United KingdomFreelance
    Since 2015 I've been a creative freelancer. During this time I've had the opportunity to work at some amazing agencies around London including R/GA, Anomaly, AMV BBDO, AnalogFolk, Poke, Lucky Generals, M&C Saatchi, BMB and Uncommon Studios. Many of these contacts have been long term placements where I've had the opportunity to see major projects through to completion and gain real career development. For example I spent 6 months at R/GA as a lead creative on Samsung during which time I made 6 films for a global TV campaign. I also had a a long stint at Wunderman Thompson where I stepped up to CD, helping to oversee the busy BT account. I've also produced work for EE, Shell, Braun and Pampers and many more.
