Hello, I’m Sophie.
Copywriter/Creative Director.

In my career, I’ve…

Hit headlines in South Korea.
Shot a bodybuilder out of a cannon.
Spent time as a Script Editor on feature films.
Made some fascists very cross about the St George’s cross.
Written about Prince Harry’s naked billiards for Grazia magazine.
Managed to get the line ‘I had a sphincter like a limpet’ signed off by the government.
Worked with some incredible people, including Taika Waititi and the entire Turkish softball team. Not at the same time though, sadly.

A highlight was when a project I worked on was an answer in the Time’s Sunday Crossword.

You may have seen me around at BBH, Y&R, Grey, Channel 4, Hijinks or Don’t Panic.

After an amazing 12+ years working in ad agencies, I’ve made a break for it as a freelancer to make the work of my life, whether that’s coming up with fame-driving activations, purpose-driven campaigns, beautiful film scripts or simply great copy.  

If that sounds up your street, I’d love to hear from you.
