Writing my novel

-It has been a real privilege to generate creative strategy and copy for a myriad of exceptional brands, TV shows, Fortune 500 companies and international advertising agencies, over the past few years. My portfolio, as written by Owen Burns, holds a diverse range of 360º campaign work and winning pitch ideas for world-class brands, such as Yes To, Bolthouse Farms, Garden Fresh Gourmet, Gaggenau, Nestlé Toll House, FUZE, Dasani Sparkling, Gold Peak Tea, Honest Tea, World Gym and Dogeared. 
-I have had high-drama copy featured in Vogue, Glamour and Elle magazines, quarterbacked hilarious multicultural FUZE content with Mr. T in a butterfly costume, and created winning pitch directions for international brands like Gaggenau and Yes to. My range of storytelling has touched nearly every deliverable under the sun with experience in banner ads, print, OOH, digital, social media, Spotify playlists, digital video scripts, TV spots, radio, headlines, subheads, product descriptions, packaging, POS, video descriptions, blog posts, emails, pitch books, brand books and taglines.
