Creative / Copywriter

Octavia is an award-winning senior creative and ex-fashion model.
She has eight years’ experience with household brands and charities, including The Guardian, The Economist, adidas, the RSPB, Marie Curie.
Before that she modelled - for brands like Burberry, Urban Outfitters, and Grazia - so she knows what it's like to walk in her clients' shoes (literally).
Octavia has been freelancing since 2024 turning complex messages into creative platforms. A scamp on a napkin into a multichannel campaign. That makes an audience sit up and pay attention.
When she’s not swotting up on strategy, training AI to write headlines, or analysing ads in the wild, you’ll find her tree-bathing, pickling, or perfecting her amateur ecom photography on Vinted.
