Carolyn Watson And Ellie Chat Life CVs, The Joys and Perils of Freelancing, and THAT Campaign Brief List

Carolyn Watson is a Melbourne based freelance copywriter who achieved some Linked In fame with her unique and original ‘Life CV’ post. 

In a wide ranging discussion, Carolyn and Ellie talk about why she wrote the post and what she was saying about the experience of being a freelancer in the current climate; what needs to happen for agencies to work well with freelancers; the fine line between copywriting and strategy and why she describes herself as a stubbornly strategy-first copywriter; the limiting impact of personalisation on great communications; the threat, effect and opportunity of AI in copywriting; the effect of world pain on advertising industry pain; and her feminist perspective on the recent Campaign Brief Creatives list.
