PARK ATMOS. |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
Is this bench taken? |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
No. |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
(slow and deliberate) A good park is untouched by the city it cares for. |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
(same delivery) It saddens me that the band no longer plays on a Sunday. |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
(speaking more urgently) We've found your copywriter. |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
Is he good? |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
Of course. |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
Background? |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
Almost 20 years behind the pen. Went solo in the spring of '97. Since then he's carried out independent hits for the BBC, BAE Systems, MasterCard, Christie's, and others. He gets results. |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
Twenty years? Doing what? |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
Six as a resident copywriter at a design studio, five in the marketing department of a major corporate. Did a big hit for them on all their literature and ended up running their marketing show. Didn't like the desk job, so he went freelance. |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
Flexible? |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
You mean long hours and short notice? |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
No, that goes without saying. Can he write anything we need? |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
Ad campaigns, corporate film scripts, broadcast ads, sub-editing, design for print, websites, speeches. He's comfortable at any briefing. Recent work includes editing the Christie's South Ken magazine, writing an awards ceremony script for TV's Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, not to mention a three-week run of his own prize-winning comedy play at a leading London fringe theatre. Business sectors include travel, engineering, defence, IT, finance, art & antiques, education... He's got connections too. |
|
| MVO | What type of connections? | |
| FVO | He works with web builders, designers, illustrators, brand experts, comic book artists, other writers... all good people. They're like The League of Extraordinary Creatives. Through him, we can get to them. He can front a whole crew if we have the need. He has his own office in Brighton, but he's also good on site. You'd never know he's one of ours. |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
Education? |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
State education. Studied journalism and scriptwriting at Goldsmiths College. A quick learner. First article he wrote was sent to six magazines, three accepted. |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
Anyone to vouch for him? |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
We've heard good things from Sharon Richey, MD of the Because Experiential Marketing agency, and Mark Wilkinson, board director at Christie's. |
|
|
|
|
|
(silence.) |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
Look, he's a lean, mean, writing machine. We don't want to lose him. If you want corporate, he adopts company style and philosophy like a second skin. He cut his teeth on multi-million pound tender submissions and corporate award entries. His freestyle work is original, sharp and witty and his copy is more persuasive than a chance meeting in a pub between Sales Team of the Year for Expensive Gadgets Inc. and the Association for the Terminally Gullible celebrating a lottery win. Oh, and his grammar and spelling are floorless... |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
His name again? |
|
|
|
|
FVO |
Sharville. Paul. I have his number. 07771 717753. |
|
|
|
|
MVO |
Bring him in. |
