I hate these things.
I would prefer the work do the talking.
But here’s 3 things perhaps you should know about me:
1. I am a truly integrated senior creative, accomplished at presenting work, who always puts the idea first, then makes it flourish in every medium.
Some say it. Not many can actually do it.
2. I’ve worked all over London as a freelancer, but my longest stint as an employee was 7 years at iris. That’s where I learned true integrated thinking. Before that I thought advertising was just about making TV ads.
3. I’m a copywriter who can draw.
