Storytelling examples


Perrier-Jouët

As the lead in-house copywriter for Perrier-Jouët Champagne, my role was to develop a distinctive tone of voice to be maintained across all internal and external communications with a view to strengthening the brand’s identity.

The company produced two ranges of champagne – vintage and non-vintage – as well as a series of art projects and events throughout the year. For these separate ventures, I created nuanced style guides to reflect the artisanal savoir-faire of the House’s winemaking tradition, and the extravagance of the contemporary collaborations, rooted in the House’s Art Nouveau heritage.

During my time here I created all storytelling documents, social media copy and press releases, as well as writing and editing all of the SEO-forward content for the website, which was updated in 2019.
