TESTIMONIALS
Paula is a firecracker of a copywriter. Whip-smart and quick, she has a natural ability to write copy that feels relevant and topical to her audience. She is equally at home writing snappy social posts as she is coming up with creative concepts for campaigns.
- WONDERBLY
Paula was a pleasure to work with. She brings a strong set of skills to community management, from strategy, to copy writing to engagement. It isn't easy to find someone with the right skill set to manage all aspects of running a brand's social and copy, but Paula quickly ramped up and inspired quick confidence, managing a large brand across many channels.
- AKQA
Working with Paula at IRIS has been a joy. She's a real professional, always willing to get stuck in and make things happen. As well as being well organised and talented in social, she’s a natural copywriter with an impressive ability to flex to different styles. A great all-rounder with a creative edge.
-IRIS
Paula has a great understanding of social media trends and best practices. She has the ability to stay focused under pressure and is a strong copywriter. The best testament to this is the community growth and engagement that can be directly attributed to her efforts.
-EXPOSURE
Paula is a creative person who produces exciting and well-planned ideas for clients. In an industry full of fluff and buzzwords, Paula's ideas stand out, she has the rare ability to combine a workable idea with an exciting concept. Her campaign ideation across the agency's clients was the basis of many successful campaigns.
