Hi I’m Ellie.

I’m a freelance senior copywriter currently based in Melbourne, Australia.

Some of my favourite words include “It’s my shout” and “You’re absolutely right.”

My least favourite words include, “Do you know what I mean?” and “No, we don’t have any pets.”

I’ve been working with words for over 15 years at Australia’s best agencies and for some of my favourite brands. My words have been recognised at Cannes, D&D, Clios and One Show, to name a few.

Outside of advertising, I spent a long time playing drums and touring the country in rock bands. I mention this specifically because it’s a lot cooler than the fact I now play pickleball.

If you’d like to have a word, please reach out.
