Creative / 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.
