For a long while I worked as a copywriter, but my fanaticism for spreadsheets and pushing for detailed briefs got the better of me. At yet another job where they “didn’t have the resources” for a bigger team, I found myself as the go-to person for my brand. I was setting up kickoff meetings, explaining what specs design needed before they could start, negotiating deadlines, scheduling out tasks, following up with stakeholders…
I very quickly realized I was doing more project management than copywriting. And my 10+ years on creative teams had given me an edge. I knew the programs, the best practices, where to find the specs, and what questions to ask from stakeholders to get the juicy details for a good brief.
I never expected to pivot from copy, but this feels like the right choice. I’m excited to see where this leads.
If you want to know what I’m like to be around, I’ve made a fun chart describing me based off of some characters we all know and love.
