Laura Simhoni
Copywriter Toronto
Thinker. Writer. Cross-stitcher. Occasional word maker-upper.
Hey there! You must be looking for a copywriter (or maybe you knew me in high school and wanted to see what I’ve been up to). Well, prepare to be impressed! I’ve worked at a bunch of ad agencies here in Toronto, some big and some small, some part of an international network and some independent, some below the line and some above. What keeps me coming back for more? The challenge (and satisfaction) of coming up with a big idea that solves a brand’s business problem. Want to know more?
