Copywriter — New York

Hey, I'm Alex — a seasoned copywriter in NYC.

Born and raised in the South, I moved up north to spread the Word of Wilson (southern accent occasionally included).

You can always find me hanging out in Central Park, sometimes winning a tennis match, or trying to make sense of the whole bagel thing. They're just not all that special to me.

LegalShield Brand Activation & Digital

Be Legal Ready

A first-of-its-kind branded route experience on Waze that used real, absurd state laws to make the case for always having a lawyer in your pocket.

LegalShield Campaign

The Idea

State laws change constantly, varying wildly depending on where you are. LegalShield needed a way to make that uncertainty feel real and immediate, and show how their subscription legal service could give people peace of mind on the move.

Instead of telling people laws were confusing, we showed them. In real time, on the road. We built the first fully branded custom route experience on Waze along the I-95 corridor, surfacing genuinely bizarre state laws as drivers crossed state lines. The humor did the heavy lifting. The relevance made it stick.

Busch Light Social Activation & Film

Free Your Forest

A social campaign and film collaboration with Jack Links that made keeping your body hair into a badge of honor. Starring Sasquatch and Busch Guy themselves.

My Role Copywriter
Agency The Martin Agency
Art Director Ben Johnston

The Idea

Busch Light needed a campaign that felt authentically off-beat and culturally resonant with their audience: outdoorsy, unapologetically masculine, and never taking itself too seriously. The ask was to partner with Jack Links and make some noise.

So we leaned into the wild, positioning body hair as "man's most underrated accessory." We built a world where Sasquatch and the Busch Guy were the ultimate spokesmen for letting it all grow. Equal parts absurd and earnest. Exactly the tone Busch Light lives in.

The Idea

We made coaches the heroes. Not in a vague, inspirational-poster way. Specifically, genuinely, and with the weight of 50 years behind it. The campaign gave coaches a platform and BSN Sports a purpose beyond product, positioning the brand as a true partner to the athletic community.

Year of the Coach

BSN Sports is the nation's largest K-12 sports team merchandise distributor. But for their 50th anniversary, we turned the spotlight away from product and pointed it at the people who make it all happen. Coaches.

Search as
Specific as You

We celebrated the obsessively specific things people look for in a home, and showed that Realtor.com could actually find them.

The Idea

Instead of speaking to the average homebuyer, we spoke to the very specific one. We made each spot built around a different search quirk, showing that Realtor.com doesn't just list homes. It finds literally whatever you want in one.

The Spots

Boar's Head Social & Digital

A Brand Voice
Worth Tasting

A social and digital refresh that brought a new, contemporary personality to one of America's most established deli brands — without losing what made it iconic.

My Role Copywriter

Deliverables Social, Web Copy

The Idea

Boar's Head is a legacy brand with serious quality credentials, but their digital presence hadn't kept pace. The challenge was to modernize the brand voice across social and web without alienating a loyal, traditional customer base.

We leaned into the food itself. Rather than forcing a personality onto the brand, we let the products lead. Seasonal content, recipe storytelling, and social copy that felt conversational and warm. The voice stayed grounded in quality, but with a lightness and wit that made it shareable.

Social

Boar's Head Thanksgiving

"Who will bring the best sides this Thanksgiving? It's not a contest, but if it were, these show-stopping dishes would be a homestyle hit and sweep the judge's table every time. Take a look at our story for these recipes and more."

Boar's Head Pumpkin

"Balance crisp, fall feelings with a savory way to serve our smooth Pumpkin Pie Dessert Hummus. Delightfully topped with a Gorgonzola Cream Sauce, this dish serves traditional creamy flavors and the essence of sweet pumpkin pie in each wholesome bite. Try the recipe at the link in our bio."

Boar's Head Pickles

"This #NationalPickleDay, how will you balance sweet and sour? Our selection of Boar's Head Pickles are crunchy, zesty, and the perfect snackable sensation."

Superhuman Social & Brand Voice

Artificial intelligence is hard to understand. But with Unfiltered Intelligence, we tell you what it actually is.

My Role Lead Copywriter
Brands Superhuman, Grammarly

The Idea

AI brands have a tendency to sound like AI brands. Robotic, corporate, and weirdly formal about things that should feel exciting. As Lead Copywriter, my job was to fix that.

For Superhuman (formerly Grammarly), I developed and elevated a brand voice that was fun, quirky, and unapologetically human. The idea was simple: if we want people to understand AI, we should talk to them like people, not press releases. The result was a social presence that felt alive, earned real engagement, and made even the nerdiest AI concepts feel like something worth following.
