Just bought Sir John Hegarty's On Advertising: Turning Intelligence Into Magic. I note the following eerie coincidence.
"I was asked what it takes to be able to earn your living being creative. I replied 'fearlessness'" - On Advertising, p74.
"A great digital copywriter has to be two things on top of that: fearless and flexible" - Me, in my application to Poke earlier this year.
I'm an occasional freelance copywriter, but mostly a student at the School of Communication Arts in London. Previously an Account Manager at a small design agency, where I started writing copy and thinking up headlines and slogans. In fact, I've been writing all my life, but it never occurred to me I could make a living from it this way. So now I'm giving it a go.
