Hello, I’m Karl, English creative copywriter

I live in London, United Kingdom.

I’ve worked in Advertising now for over 15 years. In this time I have gained a wealth of experience in crafting copy for UK, European and Global clients. I have also worked abroad in both Hamburg and Amsterdam on both local and global clients and continue to work with Dutch clients. I am just as content to write long copy as I am writing short snappy headlines or TV scripts. I can work remotely or in house and I am also available as part of a creative team if required.
