I think I would be a perfect fit for your Copywriter position. I am highly

conceptual and an excellent creative writer and proofreader.

I have thorough experience working on DM and EM campaigns. At Robinson &

Maites I worked on flash banner ads, in-store promotions and ads, social,

interactive, and print. I worked on landing pages for FedEx Office. I

created an online coupon page for them and updated it weekly. I worked on

multiple flash banner ads for FedEx.

I am also excellent at working on a deadline. At Robinson & Maites, I had

to complete a groundbreaking new FedEx campaign with my art director in 3

days (included in my portfolio). I work well under pressure and with a

specific deadline in mind. I also had the opportunity to proofread over 200

DM's and EM's. I found mistakes that three account execs missed who checked

over these pieces before me. I have a gift for finding typos. I also have

an addiction with photographing signs with typos and sharing them on

websites.

Awards wise, I won a Silver ADDY for my Southwest Airlines Campaign and had

my IKEA campaign exhibited in New York One Show.

Now that business is taken care of, lets divert our attention to the fun

stuff for a while! In my free time I create my own board games, listen to

vinyl, and bargain hunt! My best find is the Beatles rare Yesterday and

Today Butcher Album repressed in pink vinyl! I've won naming contests-

everything from Bean Sprouts to Cocktails. I won the stock market game and

got free Krispy Kremes for a year...and I still manage to weigh 105 pounds

.I have an enlarger and hope to set up my darkroom again someday. I have

over 300 vinyl records. I have 2 cats: Igby (Eleanor Igby) and Oliie

(Olliepop) ba dum dum dum. I've floated in the dead sea. rode a camel, and

climbed Mount Masada...all in one day! When I was a kid I collected over

3,000 McDonald figurines. It's my dream to be a contestant on Wheel of

Fortune!

I hope you consider me for your Copywriter position. I think I am an

excellent fit and even have some agency experience to boot.
