Hi, I’m Emily.

And that’s my dog, Ruby. We don’t always come as a pair, especially not in the office. That’s because Ruby can be quite full on with new people and it mostly scares them off. But it’s all a front, because she’s really a very sweet girl once you get to know her. Ruby’s a complex lady. Anyway, I think I’m supposed to use this hero to say I’m an award-winning creative who’s spent the last 12+ years writing awesome brand campaigns. Hard to know where to start. Funny that. You’d think writing about yourself would all come naturally – but it’s one thing writing to a brief, and another writing about yourself. Arrghhh I’m running out of space now and I really didn’t want this body copy to be longer than the photo of me and Ruby so just check out the stuff below.

Nice things people have said about me

Everything she touched was hit out of the park.

Really, really lives and breathes the brands she works on.

The best brand guardian I’ve ever worked with.

Wonderful colleague and all-round fabulous human being too.

Hugo Bennett Hugo BennettHead of Copy

You need Emily in your creative team.

Lives and breathes the brand is a common phrase in our world but I cannot think of someone who can stake a claim to that more than Emily.

No shortcuts, no fluff, just absolute dedication to each and every single task at hand.

Emily’s process is thorough, efficient, and staggeringly consistent given the quality and breadth of the output.

I envy any customer that gets to experience her influence in the future.

Ed Newton Ed NewtonHead of Creative

One of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Her writing is brilliant, and she brings that same level of care to everything, whether it’s a two-line tagline or a full campaign.

She’s always a step ahead, bringing ideas and energy before anyone’s had to ask.

She works incredibly hard, without ever making it feel like a big deal.

She’s just a genuinely lovely person to be around. Warm, approachable, and always willing to help.

Emily would be an asset to any creative team.

Rossana Piazzini Rossana PiazziniSenior Designer

An absolute joy to work with.

Her creative is on brief, unique and never dull.

On the smallest amend to the largest campaign, she applies herself fully and consistently delivers.

She consistently goes above and beyond – questioning processes, stretching guidelines and raising the standard for those around her.

Mark Downie Mark DownieSenior Designer

I’d always jump at the chance to work with her again.

She took the time to share her wisdom on the brand in detail and also get to know me personally.

Awesome writing talents.
