Jonathan R

Writer

I’ve been a copywriter for 28 years now, which either makes me very experienced or kinda old. I’m going with experienced. Hopefully, you will too.

I started out full-time at four different agencies, and while each one was wonderful in its own way, I made the leap to freelancing back in 2009 and haven’t looked back since.

All in all, it’s been a great ride. Lots of ups. Lots of downs. But always lots of fun. I relish the hilarious chaos that advertising inevitably unleashes, and I love that no two days are exactly the same.

But most importantly, I love that I get to work with smart, talented people on a regular basis. And now that I’m part of The Well, I’m excited to meet, and collaborate with, even more.

The Best Fit

To be honest, I don't have a preferred kind of client. I've worked with large businesses, eager start-ups and everything in between. And practically all the experiences have been terrific. What's more important to me is that the people I work with are kind, fun, respectful and passionate about good work. In terms of the types of projects I prefer, quick hitters are more my thing. That said, I'm open to longer-term projects, too.

Awards & Accomplishments

My work has garnered recognition The Cannes Advertising Festival, The One Show, Communication Arts, The Marketing Awards, The Digital Marketing Awards, Applied Arts, The FWA, The Webby Awards, Créa, La Publicité Club de Montréal and more.
