What People Are Saying
-
Claire is the most talented, passionate, and creative copywriter I have worked with in the past ten years. Full stop. I would be happy to go into greater detail and share examples with anyone who is curious but my first sentence pretty much sums up my great love and respect for this powerful and powerfully compassionate woman.
-
Thank god for Claire! Aside from being an absolute delight to work with, Claire is an invaluable asset to the team. Her organized, levelheaded perspective combined with her creativity proved to be essential to the success of the project. Claire's professionalism and commitment to the Client shines through in key stakeholder reviews. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

“There is so much positive I want to say about Claire, but I will keep it short - Working with Claire has been a bless! Her copywriting skill is sharp, no matter how challenging or overwhelming the client ask is, she does it with passion and great energy. I meant it for real, one little detail I will remember forever is that she listened to Christmas theme music while working on the copy, I got that Christmas vibe from the copy but more importantly from her energy. Her vibe brings positivity to our team.
On the project I worked on with Claire, the ask from the client was overwhelming, the timeline was tough and we were short on staff, Claire not only brought her expertise to the copywriting part, but sometimes she covers producers and designer’s tasks, and besides that, she was even a cheerleader! I did not even feel so tired mentally after working past 11 pm for 3 weeks. Claire is incredible!”

“Claire is a great asset to the creative department. She is meticulous, collaborative, and is a great thinker. I’ve enjoyed working with her on the Super Bowl work to crafting case studies and most recently on Intel. Her commitment to work is recognized and much appreciated by everyone around her – even working on her birthday! Thank you, Claire!
Because Claire has so much to offer, I would love for her to be more outspoken. Doing so will help her grow as a creative and in turn, will help make the team and the work stronger. I look forward to working with Claire on more projects, winning pitches, and doing more edgy award-winning creative work.”

“There are those special people you meet and work with through your career that will always stand out. From the first moments, I knew Claire was one of those. Her thoughtfulness and her skill add up to more than the full package of a copywriter and a creator. She’s truly a treasure, and you’d be lucky to have her on your team.”
-
“Over several years I managed Claire at Cohn & Wolfe (BCW) as she worked to grow the creative department. She was not only an excellent creative who was able to turn her hand to both art and copy, but, also an excellent leader, mentor, and motivator to the team.
One of Claire’s most notable achievements was the huge growth of our Healthcare business. Leading from the front Claire helped triple revenue gained from a leading client, Novo Nordisk, in under a year. To cap it off the work won multiple awards for the agency with creative like ‘Get Real About Diabetes’ featuring Anthony Anderson.
So to summarize Claire is a great leader, colleague, mentor, businesswoman, and creative. But also a great person.”

Claire is a very talented creative person, her brain is like a powerhouse that always generate great/cool ideas, so I really enjoy to having brainstorming with her, the countless good ideas plus great energy are always inspiring me to push our project to the next level. Moreover, she is an expert of the new technologies/channels, extremely sensitive about the latest trending and movement, because of this, she can always make sure that we provide the right idea to the client and hit the target audience. Finally, just like the intro from her LinkedIn profile, she is a really really nice person.

“It’s difficult for me to write this recommendation - not because is isn’t well deserved, but because I’m afraid if I honestly list what makes Claire such an imperative part of our team or how incredibly talented she is it will seem insincere or simply not possible. But that’s the thing about her - she makes things POSSIBLE. She has a tireless pursuit in perfecting not just her craft, but the entire industry it resides in.
She is one of the best writers I have known, and yet her skills of conceptualization, direction, collaboration, and leadership would be what I would point to if someone were to ask me what her strengths are. She is generous and kind on her teams, direct and understanding with her clients. She is the person people ask to work with and for, over and again.
She has written emails, white papers, campaign materials and user flows and has done each with precision and panache. I’m not sure what I could throw at her she wouldn’t absolutely nail. But the magic with Claire is when you get to work with her. She is inspiring and dedicated and lifts the work in ways hard to describe in mere words. (She could probably find the words I’m lacking :) )
She is a person of ideas and follow through. A writer who intimately knows and understands design. A colleague who values those around her in real, tangible ways. She was the first to volunteer to help us with our DE&I program, and was vital to its success. She named it, she lived it. She does still. Claire gives all wherever she is - and we are all better for that.
I was lucky enough to hire Claire, lucky enough to work with her. Lucky because she reminded me why I loved my job so very much - that together we create magic. That our stories are here to foster change. If I’m lucky I will get to tell more stories with Claire. If you are lucky - so will you.”
