Creative copywriter with expertise in B2B and DTC advertising.
What I'm looking for
I'm a creative and cross-functional copywriter with a background from Miami Ad School and over a year of agency experience. My expertise lies in B2B and DTC advertising, where I deliver compelling content for both niche and iconic brands. I thrive in various advertising platforms, including traditional media like TV, radio, and print, as well as digital and social media. My ability to adapt my tone and style makes me a true team player, and I take pride in developing insightful and unexpected campaign strategies.
In my recent role at Trade School, I wrote copy for The Home Depot across multiple social media platforms, producing content that contributed to a 15% increase in website traffic and a 12% boost in organic search traffic. At BBDO, I created consumer content for well-known brands, leading to significant increases in sales and engagement. My work at Wunderman Thompson involved developing an AI-centered campaign for Sprite, showcasing my ability to innovate and drive user engagement.
