Copy Lead, EMEA

The Trade Desk

As Copy Lead for EMEA, I worked at the intersection of the creative, brand, digital, and events teams, defining narrative direction and keeping it consistent across every touchpoint. Below is a selection of the work, from live events and keynote presentations to case-study films, product explainers, and the briefing frameworks that kept the whole team aligned.

01

Events

Collaborated with the senior art director to develop the visual concept for each event, then produced every asset that brought it to life: websites, registration pages, email invites, venue branding, keynote content, social media activity, the works.

BFAs

The Bid Factor Awards

Running for six years, The Bid Factor Awards was a TTD ceremony dedicated to recognising the most powerful and innovative digital ad campaigns in Europe.

I partnered with EMEA’s art director to concept the rebrand, and collaborated with all marketing leads across the region to develop the full suite of messaging and content, from concept to execution.

  • Rebrand concept
  • Website
  • Registration page
  • Email invites
  • Judges’ pack
  • Winners’ stories
  • Venue signage
  • Social posts
  • Sizzle reel

Three winners’ films (Best Use of CTV, DOOH and Brand Marketing Excellence) were shown on the night. Hosting for these is still to be confirmed; one winning campaign, Rossmann, is shown below with its published film.

Keynote presentations

Crafting the messages behind the keynotes — the story on the big screen and in the presenter’s hands. Sharp, powerful content built to support the speaker, not compete with them.

Briefing frameworks & training

I initiated and developed a creative briefing template on behalf of the global brand creative team, then ran the workshops that trained the wider marketing teams — brand, events and digital — to use and follow it. The result: clearer briefs, tighter alignment, and less rework across the board.
