About
Multi award-winning creative, published author, humorist and occasional poet. I have worked all round the world and been lucky enough to ply my trade at some of the biggest agencies on the biggest brands. I am a glass half empty kind of guy and the founder of a Facebook group called Discontent Writer. Yeah, so that’s me.
Me as a copywriter
My specialty is taking the mundane, verbose, complex and downright dull and turning it into something that people actually want to read. I do this by creating stories for brands. Stories with a central, cohesive theme that engage, delight and make consumers want to read on to the very end. And I can do the same for your brand.
