Senior Freelance Writer

Founder and Creative Director / Writer at KRUGERFORNIA

Copywriter
noun

A person who writes the text of
advertisements or publicity
material.

Well, that sounds pretty simple,
doesn’t it?

A war of words,
concisely defined and neatly
confined into a single sentence.
Except that truth is stranger than
fiction.

16 Long years. Life, sentences. The
reality is pretty tense. Past,
present and future.

26 Letters. CAPS locked and words
are loaded pistols.

Shelves full of awards? Sorry,
wrong writer.

I’m not here to sell
your product.
I’m here to make consumers buy into
your brand.

Less selling. More telling.

16 Long years. Over 350 local and
international brands and companies.
Too many industries to count, too
many forms of writing to list.

Let’s Write & Roll.
