    Laura Powers

    Copywriter and Creative Leader

    Nashville, TN

    I’m a collaborative, strategic, experienced, lightning-fast copywriter and creative director. ⚡️


    The old cliché is that every copywriter is a frustrated novelist. Or screenwriter. Or, hell, copywriter.

    I’m a frustrated engineer. (Please don’t tell my engineer dad I said that.)

    While I do love words (faves: frottage, floccinaucinihilipilification, aglet), what I love even more is solving the problem.

    I enjoy doing research, whether that's observing a surgery, conducting focus groups, or digging into data and analytics, then using the insights gained to create a strategic plan.

    Then it's time for the really fun part: strategically solving business problems by crafting messages and stories that connect with people on an emotional level no matter the medium.
