Hi I’m Hazel, a creative copywriter who’s ready to jump into the next project.
Keep scrolling to read my advertising career story to date.
While studying business at university, I found myself drawn to marketing, as I found the study of brands, consumer behaviour, and communication really interesting. In my third year I had a class in advertising; it was the best class I had during the entire four years, and that's when I realised I wanted to work in advertising.
What I didn't know at that point however, was how to get into advertising. But I later heard about a Creative Advertising Master's and jumped at the opportunity. It was an eye-opening and inspiring experience which brought me closer to reaching my dream job.
However, graduating during a global pandemic into a non-existent job market wasn't part of the plan. Lockdown became a time for me to re-evaluate and find a new path for the time being. So I looked for opportunities within marketing, and used my degree and experience to find work - and even gave freelancing a go.
During this time I added to the list of numerous businesses I have worked for, big and small, across a variety of sectors including construction, retail, medical recruitment, an art gallery and most recently a network of radio stations.
I am currently working as part of a fixed term contract, and am looking to take on a new role in the new year.
