About

I started my career in account service, but quickly realised the creative department was where I wanted to be. Placing third in AWARD School 2019 I’ve been a copywriter since, recently taking home gold in Young Spikes 2023, a finalist in Young Lions 2024 and multiple pitch wins along the way.

I’ve worked on plenty of stuff over the years, like the University of Melbourne, Melbourne International Film Festival, Tigerair, L’Oreal Paris, Toyota, A2 Milk, La Roche-Posay, Optus, Swisse and more. I’ve also done two in-house roles with LEKKER (a Dutch/Australian e-bike brand) and Envato, a creative assets tech start-up.

I also do plenty of stuff outside of work. Surfing and climbing keeps me pretty busy between the ocean and the mountains - I probably could’ve chosen activities closer together but hey, it is what it is.

That’s me, and this is me: leightonhowindt@gmail.com
