Freelance copywriter

Hi there! 

I'm Octavia - welcome to my site.

 

If you're looking for an experienced creative copywriter - I've got eight under my belt.

 

I've worked with brands even your mum has heard of.​ Brands like The Guardian, adidas, Marie Curie, Kidney Research UK, RSPB, Crisis, Unilever, Just Giving, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Bacardi, Pernod, and Phillips.

If you're looking for someone who understands a clients' needs, I worked alongside mine at The Guardian for 4 years. Or who knows about how to write quick-turnaround copy, I've worked on reactive campaigns for news, shoes, and a homeless shelter.

Or who wins short-film competitions in her spare time.  

When I'm not coming up with The Big Idea or word-smithing a *stunning* piece of long copy, you'll find me waffling on about art, following strangers' cats or watching the latest horror movie.

Drop me an email at octaviawelby@gmail.com

or say hi on Linkedin.​
