Episode 14: Kerry Dick on things and places that form special connections with you and move with you wherever you go
Kerry Dick is the founder of Write Junction - a freelance copywriter for brands with a visual soul. Lots of copywriters often come from journalism or English language backgrounds. They understand words in text. Kerry thinks in colour, space, texture, mood, and visual narrative. Perhaps that's rare, but with her background, it comes from her creative heartbeat. With a BA (hons) degree in textiles & surface design, and her retail background this brings even more to her copywriting skills.
In her retail Visual Merchandiser days, she sold things without saying a word. Making connections and communications from visual, verbal and written formats is a passion of hers. She still helps make those all-important connections, focussing on written content.
There's something super special when she gets to work with brands with the following industries:
- fashion & lifestyle brands
- interiors, homeware & craft
- beauty and wellness
-luxury goods
- retail & e-commerce
- brand identity & tone of voice development work.
She'll write about (almost) anything but she loves her creative heartbeat.
