Hi, I'm Emile and I'm a copywriter located in New York with 8 years experience agency-side and as a freelancer.

I specialize in sports and entertainment and I am constantly looking for innovative ways to tell stories through digital, activation and content.

I was born in France, where I started my career in market research because I had read that's how David Ogilvy started. Well, I hated it.

After one year spent as a strategist at MullenLowe Paris, I joined the Havas network where I spent five years, three as a strategist and two as a copywriter. It turns out that this experience as a strategist has since become a great fuel for insightful ideas.

At Havas Sports & Entertainment, I had the chance to work for a bunch of exciting clients for whom I defined strategies and imagined award-winning concepts: Coca-Cola, Disney, Orange, Peugeot and Accor Hotels.

In January 2018 I decided to take the leap and start as a freelancer. I had the chance to be trusted by great agencies (McCann NY, Havas SE NY, MRM NY, Edelman, Lloyd & Co, DDB Paris, Havas SE Paris) and brands (Nike, Oatly, KFC, Taco Bell, AccorHotels, SeeTickets).

In the summer of 2018, a series of great events happened: I got married in Idaho and settled in New York.

While waiting for my Green Card, I started writing for a local music magazine and learned that you could get paid to walk dogs. Then, I started working freelance for Havas on Coca-Cola campaigns, for McCann and MRM on a national brand launch for Enfamil and directly with brands (Taco Bell, Oatly, KFC, Seetickets, Equinox, Nike).

I am always looking for new challenges, freelance or full-time.
