Talkin’ shit
Hello, I’m Emma. A fucking Brummie scumbag. An advertising creative/copywriter/typo twit, a media whore, writer, sellout and amongst other things – a lover of owls, cheese, digital, wobbly cycling, die hard and fan of shite comedy.
Ze blog is a collection of ad chat, interest, art, attempted poetry, ramblings, drum & bass, rants, bad photoshop, bad language all round clichés, an unhealthy fascination with moustaches, what a wanker Sting is and my keen interest in Greggs the bakers. My entire vocab consists of around 23 words. Sue me.
I’m a YCC rep too: www.youngcreativecouncil.com

Hey, love the blog how do I subscribe ?
Yo,
Thanks for the comment!
You as a very pertinent question… I haven’t a clue! but I’ll look into it for you!
bear with me
Hey yo, so tell me, is that moustache a tattoo?
Hello,
It’s not no! I did consider having it done for a long time but bottled it!
Thanks for the comment
are you actually commenting on your own blog/moustache obsession under the alias ‘emma’?
Hi Emma, snap with the name – I was just wondering what’s your priority? Creatie stuff or copy? I love your blog, have had a very good dig, so where art thou as a junior creative & how did you get there?
I’m a grad who lost their confidence a little & left the ad game – but it’s a dream that burns in the back of my mind – I went to uni with Emily Churches of The Idea Bakery. I see you have them as a fave. Anywho, you seem like a copy girl, is it so or not? .Emma.
Hi hi hi hi
Good name etc. Thanks for your comment. Have been thinking about your comment and my response. There is no easy answer to getting a job, some of the best creatives do give up because it is just too hard. Which is a great shame and to be honest – an irritating waste. I’m sorry to hear that you gave it up. Have you checked out the Young Creative Council? Em and I are members and we do things to help grads and creatives get a foot up. We also want to give some of Adland a slap in the chops. I don’t really see myself as either copywriter or art director, just creative (sounds well wanky i know) My job requires that I do both, which is the way that a lot of places these days are headed.
I love to write, as you can see. I like to keep writing/ranting as a hobby, just for my blog. It rarely creeps into my work.
Thanks again for your comment and do check out the YCC!
