Alli Watson leaves The Brand Agency to freelance

Copywriter Alli Watson has resigned from her full time position at The Brand Agency to pursue freelance work.

“I’ve got a couple years’ experience under my belt now, and a decent portfolio, so I’m just really excited to see what else is out there. Craig [Buchanan] has been really supportive of my decision, and he’s been an amazing mentor from the get-go. I’m very grateful for all the amazing opportunities I’ve been given.”

While many younger creatives have chosen to move to the eastern states or internationally, Watson said she’s not planning on leaving Perth any time soon.

“The Perth industry’s small but that’s one of the great things about it. Because everyone knows everyone, if you’re good at what you do word’ll get around – at least that’s what I’m hoping.”

So what’s the first project for the talented young creative?

“I haven’t updated my LinkedIN page since uni, so that’ll be a good start.”
