I have worked as a journalist, copywriter and scriptwriter for over 18 years, because there is absolutely nothing else I would rather be doing. I love it, in all its nuances and guises. I love the power of the language; its ability to unleash chaos and fury, to act as a catalyst of change to create devastation or peace and harmony; and just as easily create joy and laughter, or speak of love as gentle as a lover’s caress.

I have had the privilege of working with Alexis as my script writer for some 8 years now, and will definitely be using her in her new agency. I have always found Alexis to be very creative as well as being able to stay with the brief, which is highly commended as this trait is hard to find. Alexis is honest, hardworking and very fair, and will not miss a deadline .
