“If you’re thinking of hiring Elena, then stop thinking and do it. I did and never regretted it. She is one of my best hires ever. I didn’t make it easy for her either. Tough briefs, difficult clients and a demanding workload. Whilst at iris she was a rising star, a creative everyone was excited about, which isn’t easy in a creative department as big as ours. Every day she came into work with a smile and a hunger to write and create great ideas. And more often than not she achieved just that. Made me look good anyway.”
- Leigh Wallace, Deputy Creative Director at iris
“I've had the great pleasure of working with Elena for the best part of four years and I will happily tell you she is one of the finest copywriters I know. She's very bright, incredibly creative and above all, an utter joy to have on your team. As well as really caring about the work she does and the words she writes, she's an original thinker with a curious mind and a passion for ideas. She works fast and is also kind and funny. You'll be hard-pushed to find someone better. Just don't ever let her handle your glassware as she's the most accident-prone person on the planet. She'll explode your tumblers faster than a moody firework. Fact.”
- Penny Parnell, Creative Director at notonthehighstreet.com
“It was an absolute joy having Elena with us for five months at GetYourGuide. Not only did she grasp our tone of voice in a heartbeat, she was brimming with wonderful ideas and suggestions to take it to the next level. Her writing was fresh, playful, and bright, and her ideas bang on-brief. In short- an absolute dream to work with. She's a rare talent and I can't wait until we can work together again.”
- Emma Brooke, Creative Lead at GetYourGuide
“Elena was a huge asset to the NCS creative team when she carried out a three-month contract with us. She’s a really skilful and intelligent writer who quickly interprets and delivers against a brief. (We certainly threw a lot of briefs at her, all of which she received in a calm and positive manner.) Crafting everything from chatbot copy to updating brand tone of voice guidelines, her work is of a consistently high standard, full of empathy and insight. I’d fully recommend hiring her.”
- Claire Round, Marketing and Brand Director at NCS Trust
“Elena is a dedicated and passionate creative. She is not only confident with her ideas and presentation but always willing to take on other people’s opinions and thoughts. She approaches all her work in an open and collaborative way – always eager to get the best work out not just for herself but the agency.”
- Daniel Fox-Evans, Art Director at Gyro
“Elena and I worked in the same creative group at notonthehighstreet. We teamed up on many projects together such as social campaigns, events and printed catalogues to name a few. Her ability to come up with clever, creative and engaging strategies continuously impressed me. She always had the best ideas! Impactful straplines and smart copy are her forte and she can apply just the right tone of voice to any piece of work. Elena not only brings her writing expertise to a project, she brings art direction skills and a keen eye for modern design. She's a great all-rounder! Not to mention her calm, collected and friendly demeanour, making her an absolute pleasure to be around.”
