| Introduction | Freelance copywriter & comedy writer. With a career in advertising that spans working at newspapers, a media sales house and several well-known recruitment advertising agencies, I have been both a sales executive and an advertising account handler up to Group Account Director level. During my years at ad agencies I dealt with recruitment advertising accounts across pretty much every business sector, including working with numerous recruitment consultancies of all sizes. Just over eight years ago I made a big career change by taking redundancy, giving up corporate life and becoming a combination of freelance copywriter, sometime comedy writer and part-time house husband. I had, throughout my career, had a flair for writing copy, sometimes on the fly over the phone as a telesales executive and sometimes when at agencies to help out a colleague facing a pressing deadline. I had also taken hundreds of briefs and worked on countless recruitment advertising campaigns, so it was no biggie to actually go from being a 'suit' to a 'creative. I was also quite looking forward to spending quality time with my newborn son - mad sentimental fool that I am! |
