Life at The Writer
We make shift happen
We’re a team of 30-odd people working together to find the words that shift the world. That’s our purpose. And while we’re a motley crew, it’s one goal we all have in common, whether we’re a few feet or a whole ocean apart.
The rest of the time, you might find us swapping book recs (okay, Netflix recs), helping out at literacy charities and sending a few too many gifs in our emails.

Bond
We all share the Writer qualities: love language, care about quality, mind the numbers, feed curiosity, and grow together.
The Writer team
The best way to get to know someone? Their favourite word. And if you’ve ever worked with us, you’ve probably shared yours. If you haven’t – start thinking. Chances are, we’ll ask.
Jennie
Jennie is our Head of Growth and Strategy in the UK and Asia. She's always on the lookout for new ways to win and wow clients, and is at her happiest surrounded by colourful Post-It notes.
Jack
Fiercely inquistive and a bit of dreamer, our US Head of Growth and Strategy Jack is fortunate to have such an intelligent team help deliver (impeccably) on his proposals.
Antoine
Digital project director Antoine is transforming the way we work and the work we do, with measurable results. He loves crunching data almost as much as he loves riding his Honda Transalp.
Chloe
Chloe is a Client Services Director who loves getting her teeth into new briefs and meeting new clients. She's also a new mum who's hoping to someday build her dream family home.
Aidan
Aidan is an Associate Creative Director who will scribble on Post-its until he finds the best words for your brand.
Chloe
Senior Account Manager Chloe Davies has warm, gooey feelings about language. (Two words which incidentally describe her ideal cheese.) Clients soon come to share her enthusiasm.
Haseena
Organisational queen Haseena is a Client Services Manager at The Writer. She uses her extensive experience of project management to make sure no list is left unticked.
Olly
Account Manager Oliver knows a thing or two about handling clients. After all, he used to be one of ours. He comes from a family of big-heads (of the plastic figurine variety). Ask him. He'll love it.
Heather
Senior Project Manager Heather combines boundless creativity with a business brain. In her varied career, she’s worked in academia, events and community organisations.
Jake
An ex-sub-editor, Jake gets his kicks making each word earn its place on a page. When not associate creative directing you’ll find him following football, playing guitar or denying the '90s are over.
Sally
Sally loves being a first port of call for our new clients and getting to the bottom of what they need. She also works behind the scenes to help make our weird and wonderful marketing ideas happen.
