Heres my keyboard. Can you tell I use it a lot?
I type, I scribble, I write, I doodle.
I twist words at my will. Being a copywriter means I get to utilize mypassion for words within the greater context of big ideas. It means tyingtogether large concepts into smart executions. Copywriting is conveying
a distinct and interesting message about a brand to the viewer.

I was inspired by this little caf across thestreet from where I lived in Strasbourg,France. I was struck by the cozy, inviting
nature of the caf and created these piecesto emphasize that warmth. They are targeted
towards other American students living in aforeign country for the rst time.

GM+UWeb Banners I worked as a copywriter with a group of several
others on a national competition for the GM+UCollege Discount Program. We faced the task of
creating a fully integrated campaign for the programtargeting college students and recent grads. Out ofthe 77 schools that applied, we took top prize after
presenting our The real world. Easier. campaign toGM Executives in Detroit.
GM gets that college students are broke.Thats why they offer the discount. By poking
fun at the little things college kids do tosave a buck, these banner ads always remind
consumers that GM saves you more.

Microsite: Contest & Direct EmailGM+U
In order to reach parents, our secondary target, we createdan email template so that students can tell their parents
about the GM+U discount. This new spin on direct emailavoids the risk of getting sent straight to the spam folder.
The sticker in the upper right hand corner of the website is thelink to the microsite that weve created. That Stingy Guy contestis one of several promotions we developed to engage the target.
