OD

Hey there. I'm Olivia.

OD by name. Odder story to boot. 

​

I used to be a comedian, and taught comedy in Paris. 

I've also been a professional bra fitter, and even an account handler (for my sins).

These days, I spend my days thinking up thoughts for brands. In fact, I'm one of the top women under 30 in the world at it. 

I've been listed as a 'one to watch' in Campaign Magazine's list of 30 Future Leaders, and recently I've judged Writing For Advertising for the D&AD Awards 2021: one of the youngest women ever to give out pencils for the world's best writing. You could say it was meant 2B. 
 

You'll find me in my day job smithing words and cooking up concepts as a Senior Creative for Uniform Group (previously in a concept team at TBWA\MCR). But I'm also passionate about giving back to the industry at large. I've run an event for 4 years to promote young creative women in our industry - CIA: Chicks in Advertising, in both Manchester and Leeds. I'm also a guest lecturer of Advertising BA (Hons) students at LAU and University of Central Lancashire: in 2018, two of my students won D&AD New Blood pencils, including a yellow pencil for copywriting (coincidence? I think not).

​

I'm pretty competitive outside of work too, winning an intensive 3-month creative competition, School of Thought UK, which took me off to Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. To this day, I can't even look at a glass of rosé.

​

So, if you're looking for an experienced conceptual copywriter that can give you award-winning headlines and punchlines, killer concepts and supportive underwear, you've come to the right face.
