Holt Renfrew, Deciem (The Abnormal Beauty Company), Sweet Kick, Sobey’s, Ozery’s Pita Break, Toronto.com
DECIEM, THE ABNORMAL BEAUTY COMPANY- Sr. Writer and Editor, Global
July 2024 to Present
Conceptualize and craft copy, guidelines and global narrative for NIOD, The Ordinary, LOoPHA, Avestan and Deciem brands. Whether a snappy headline or a deep-dive into science and ingredients, an agile approach makes work engaging across digital, retail, OOH, paid media and social platforms. From flagship stores to a recent Sephora launch, each brand requires a strategic, curated voice that I strive to maintain. Daily collaboration with designers, packaging, and videographers creates a cohesive story and tone. Vetting content with scientists and regulatory teams ensures complex clinical results and product data is comprehensible. Precise but always a bit weird, the work is authentically human, accessible and consistently outperforms its projected targets.
KLICK HEALTH INC. —Group Copy Supervisor
October 2016 to July 2024
Develop and hone omni-channel content for consumers and health care practitioners across a diverse medical portfolio including Allergan, Merck vaccines, oncology, Atrium Innovations & Genomics, and Incyte Dermatology. Strive to offer consumers greater insight and deeper understanding of medical treatments and how to integrate them into daily life. Content often has to be adapted from medical jargon into clear consumer-friendly language that is compelling, compassionate and accurate. Responsibilities include research, copywriting and referencing scientific and medical journals prior to regulatory and FDA review. Each day brings a greater understanding of prescription drug manufacturing, branding, labelling and usage. Daily production touchpoints include briefing, casting, VO direction, wardrobe, and collaborating with sound houses and edit suites.
Most recently, my team’s pitch creative was awarded Incyte’s eczema and vitiligo portfolios. In addition, my TV work on Gardasil 9 oncology won a Cannes Lion.
