Greg Cohen

Advertising Copywriter London, UK

Long copy. Short copy. Fat copy. Thin copy. I've written them all. That's not surprising, given that I've been doing this for 14 years.

Now at a senior level, I started at South African agencies like TBWA, FCB and M&C Saatchi. Here in London, I’ve worked at Proximity London, FCB Inferno, LBi, McCann Ericsson, CHI & Partners and other big-name agencies.
