Freelance Creative Direction | Creative Strategy | Copywriting
Hi. I’m Elizabeth Cauvel.
I’m a freelance Creative Director and Copywriter who’s purpose-obsessed, strategy-driven, and results-oriented.
I am currently open to CD roles (brand or agency side); Senior Writer positions on projects of any size, budget, or duration; and full-time opportunities. I work coast to coast, in any U.S. time zone. Let’s make something together :)
My 15 years’ experience as an advertising Copywriter and Creative Director spans social media, TV, print, and digital. I've written scripts, manifestos, brand tone of voice documents, Instagram captions, chatbot responses, and even those annoying little ads that sit on the top of your condiment cluster in chain restaurants.
I’m purpose-obsessed, which means I’ll ask why we’re making the things we’re making, and why anyone would care about them. I’m strategy-driven, which means I work arm-in-arm with my strategists to craft briefs that will elicit meaningful and effective work, and I deliver on them. I’m results-oriented, which means that I want to do work that makes my clients rich and my agency (or brand) famous.
Fun fact: I finished runner-up on season 5 of MasterChef, FOX's reality cooking competition show. (Gordon Ramsay is, by far, the toughest client I've come across.) When I'm not creating advertising, I consult for food brands and cater multi-course private dinners.
I love pizza, photography, nature walks, travel, and bingeing a great book. I am pro-mayo and anti-out-of-season fruit, I prefer TV over movies, and I love semi-colons and the Oxford comma.
Thanks for checking out my work.
