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 3x pitch wins in the last year.

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. Oh and I worked in-house for a bit, look at the LEKKER page for more details.

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.

Outside of that I study photography in my spare time, which isn’t necessarily relevant to copywriting, but I quite enjoy it nonetheless.

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