I come up with words and ideas for brands. That means helping with the detailed, back–room work of creating and re–creating brands, as well as expressing their character as sharply as possible.
It also means writing just about anything, from posters and ads to websites, apps and brochures; from films and animations to packaging and signage.
In short, it means understanding what makes your brand unique, and then making sure everyone else does, too.
