THE Creativity Chronicles
A journal of creative thoughts, content commissions I'm working on and where I'm at right now.
The life of a creative copywriter.
It’s International Women’s Day! I thought I would take this opportunity to put together a blog post featuring 10 of my favourite feral female clients of all time. It was a tough time picking just 10 and there’s so many more I want to shout out but here’s 10 (it ended up being 11) wild […]
The other day I received an email and the subject line was “here is the info you asked me for”. It was a sales email about something I had never actually asked for so today I decided to put together a little blog post about this “technique” of using a line that makes it look […]
Once upon a time I worked in retail and so I have been on the receiving end of mystery shopping but the way that I do it is a little differently from the retail world. In the shop I used to work there were clear points we would get from performing well when we were […]
I’m passionate about imperfection. Because imperfection is synonymous with authenticity. I don’t mean imperfection as in spelling errors and mistakes, I mean imperfection as in showing more grit and less gloss.

I want to begin by saying today was supposed to be a wonderful post about the importance of content strategy but it’s been blog-bombed by the need to address this topic (and a bit of a rant – soz). Dear NAME, Firstly can I apologise for any offence caused; this was never my intention. I […]

Firstly let me begin by making it clear – impressivity isn’t a word. It’s a feralism, something I’ve created to make a point (plus it sounds really cool next to authenticity). But the faux word impressivity does get across what I’m trying to say. Sometimes small brands use big words to appear a bit fancier […]
Rewind to around ten years ago and I was receiving coaching from some local companies renowned for helping small businesses. The trouble was – their blueprint for success all seemed to fit the same formula: grow your company, employ as many people as you can and make sure you have some kind of exit strategy. […]
Since Coronavirus hit us with the biggest curve ball of the century, lots more people are working from home and will continue to for the near future. I’ve been working from home for the past five years but before that I worked in a bustling office in a busy building where we had a shared […]
What exactly is “enoughness?” It’s literally the feeling of being enough (it is to me anyway). I work with so many female entrepreneurs in my coaching sessions and time again the same topics come up. This is one of the main culprits. So when someone asked me about how to overcome imposter syndrome this week […]
