Billboards you see during rush-hour that make you want to KYS a lil’ less. Ads you hear when you don’t want to pay for premium. Quirky social stories that make you stop scrolling. I write those – and more serious stuff too – for brands at any stage. From those that are barely just an idea to ones that are bigger than you could’ve dreamed of.
