A quick testimonial
Regional Creative Group Head / Senior Creative Partner at Bates-Asia: “Barry’s life is rich enough to dig deep and find answers to questions within the toughest of briefs. Self-effacing wit and strong work ethic. Hire him.”
By the way, I hope I haven’t been too bombastic. I’ve seen sites where copywriters tactlessly beat their chests, spouting “I’m the greatest!” and such — then blatantly push you to contact them, like telling you to e-mail barry@hillcopy.com for powerful, different, insightful concepts and copy. Disgusting.
Which reminds me…one last word, from Ogilvy’s Regional CD for Unilever, Asia: “Steps up to the plate. Finishes mission impossible. If you’re looking for a copywriter who’s going to be there when you really need him, you need Barry.”
I’d be happy to hear from you at barry@hillcopy.com.
