OH Hi, didn’t see you there.
I’m Gid, a copywriter a DDB Melbourne.
In my first three years of working in advertising, I’ve sent a 🖕 to Unicode, turned retired wind turbines into surfboards, helped win three new business pitches, and made enough social posts to keep Meta in business for another 10 years.
I hope you enjoy perusing through my folio.
