Katie Sweeney, Word Smith
As a teenager, Katie once drew a fireplace of interlocking bricks in a very recognizable shape and slapped the headline, “Absolut Warmth” at the bottom of the page. She thought this meant she was destined to become an artist, but since she didn’t quite care for drawing, she went off to college and majored in marketing. Then, at her first job marketing a financial magazine in New York, someone suggested she had what It takes to create ads. Almost 10 years later Katie has written ads for clients in the telecommunications, finance, fashion, retail, hospitality industries, and plenty more. The point is: you won’t get spelling errors (unless it’s in the name of your vodka brand), but you will get compelling copy that shows a clear understanding of your product or service.
