Let's Talk

 

My name is Hannah and I’m “creative”.

 

Why hello there. Let’s start with some simple facts about me. I’ve been a Marketer. I’ve been a Suit. I’ve worked as a Copywriter/Art Director hybrid. Now I’m officially a Copywriter. I’m also a vegan. And it took me all but two seconds to mention it. You’re welcome. 

My journey started with a Bachelor of Communication Studies majoring in Marketing and Management Communication, specialising in German. I entered the world of marketing by milking robots but quickly decided that my calling was not cow tech but advertising. 

So, I moved to New York. Obviously. 

I was well-prepared. I had nowhere to live, absolutely no job leads, and knew exactly zero people. And, as you’d expect, I didn’t get into advertising. But I worked in PR, where I wrote press releases for everything from New Zealand to erotica novels.

When my visa ran out, I ventured back to Auckland, where I finally got into advertising as a Suit.

It was a great few years – but I always dreamed of the other side – the creative side. So, I enlisted at Media Design School and the rest is, well kinda, history.

What am I up to now? I’ve recently crossed the ditch to work in the land of Oz and potentially figure out what AFL actually is.

So, if you’ve finished reading this rambling and are thinking “wow, I need to talk to this person” then that email link right below, that’s there for you.
