Paladin Chicago Candidate
Copywriter/Creative Director with Corporate, Not-for-profit, and Agency Experience
Available For:
Long-term Contracting, Short-term Freelance.
Ideal Position:
My ideal is a project where intelligence and sophistication are demanded, and client and marketing professionals alike are excited by the opportunity to connect with their audience. This can happen in any category, any medium, and it should happen all the time.
Because my work requires both independence and camaraderie to reach its potential, I've developed my innate flexibility and I'm very adaptable. All that is mandatory is mutual respect.
Past Experience:
I have extensive experience in both consumer advertising agencies and B2B marketing. I owned my own business for 8 years. I have also been on staff as a copywriter, ACD, and CD at some of the leading agencies in the world, as well as at small marcom and design firms. I am known for superb collaboration with the art side, as well as strong relationships with marketing colleagues and clients.
Currently:
Recently, I developed an 8-page newsletter/brochure for a high-end design/build firm. I generated story ideas and conducted interviews with design professionals and homeowners. Sumptuous visuals communicated so much, and the character of the organization was so low key and straightforward, that I identified and created a very direct, smart, clean voice.
