“Ali is a very talented and tenacious creative talent who has a great understanding of brands and branding. Ali applies this really well to develop creative solutions across a number of different media channels. Ali is our secret weapon.”
Martin Shellaker, Director SMP Ltd
“Whilst a copywriter by trade Ali is one of those rare creatives who can conjure up great conceptual ideas, art direct, think strategically, write and present work effectively to clients. I have worked with her on a diverse range of projects, from branding to advertising and she has produced highly creative but strategically sound work every time. She is also practical in her solutions and listens carefully to both clients and account teams. Highly recommended.”
Tom Carling, ex Client Services Director, Blaze
“I worked very closely with Ali on a number of projects during her time at WFCA and can honestly say I haven’t met her equal. Not only is she thoroughly commited to getting under the skin of a brief, she takes an admirable interest in every aspect of the brand strategy, most notable in her work on The Perfume Shop who considered her an integral part of their Marketing Team despite her freelance status. Her work has always been dynamic and considered despite often being up against ludicrously tight deadlines and she frequently went above and beyond what was required helping out with scamps and generating a wealth of ideas to help support her team. A great all rounder with a wealth of experience, I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Katie Scott, Head of Client Services, Twenty20 Media Vision
“Ali is easily one of the best senior copywriters I have had the pleasure of working with, not only does she write beautiful copy that is always on brief. She is also good at coming up with strong conceptual ideas. As a person Ali is great with Clients, very approachable and always fun to have around. I am very happy to recommend Alison Brushfield.”
Symone Beard, Account Director
“Alison is many things. Articulate, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very creative. Not only does she write faultless copy, easily slipping into any style, she also has a great sense of image and design. All this and Alison’s great fun to have around. I enjoy working with her and would urge anyone else to do the same.”
Wayne Pashley, Creative Director, TDG Ltd
“Ali Brushfield is that rare breed of creative hybrid. While copywriting is her forte, she has the visual eye of an art director, as well as a head for interesting and original concepts. She can be thrown together successfully with any partner as well as being able to produce great results on her own. And as a seasoned freelance creative she can be thrown into any situation and produce the goods. Ali and I teamed up on the agency’s Perfume Shop account where we developed the brand from a basic discount retailer with no true personality to a brand with real purpose and positioning in their value offer through seasonal campaigns consisting of TV, Print, Radio and Outdoor, successfully increasing awareness as well as ROI.”
Linda Holland, ex Head of Art WFCA
“If you get the chance to work with Ali on a project take it. She has a knack of taking a fussy brief and getting straight to the nub of it. Her ideas are fresh and clear, her lines slick and her capacity to take on work a source of constant joy to our creative services manager. More than all that she’s just great to work with.”
Greg Phitidis, Creative Director WFCA
“I have had the very great pleasure of working with Ali a number of times over the last few years. Not only is her copy well crafted and original, but she is capable across a wide range of styles and disciplines. To pigeon hole her as a copywriter does her a disservice and deprives others of her broader skills as a conceptual creative thinker and organized ‘man’ manager. I commend her to one and all!”
