Testimonial:
“Reading so much copy every day in my job, what I’m really looking for in a copywriter is someone who comes straight in and breathes new life into our words. September did exactly that and it was great fun to work with her on an arrangement of words that gave our book energy, direction and most importantly – sass. Working together so early has given our overall campaign its route and the whole team is energised to publish it following this positioning work carried out with September.” Sam Williams, Senior Marketing Manager (Penguin Random House – Cornerstone)
