Leah Young

Copywriter, Content Producer, Direct Response Writer, Editor, Whippet Lover

For over thirty years, I've been a writer at numerous ad agencies, including Ogilvy, Dare Advertising, Y&R Mattingly, Thompson White, DMB&B, Badjar Ogilvy and Leo Burnett (London).

During that time, I wrote TVCs, radio ads, press ads, print ads, direct mail, catalogues, video scripts and the odd shopping list.
With the onslaught of digital, I pivoted (as they say) and began writing daily Facebook and Instagram posts for Officeworks, Myer, Snap Printing and Snooze. 

I now write web content, google ads, landing pages, eBooks, social and eDMS for Snap Printing, WebProfits and Australia Post.

I have a  Degree in Film & TV, which explains why, for a while there, I had my own production company, called Fairy Floss Films. I produced and directed a stack of low budget TVCs and corporate videos for various brands, including Simonds Homes, Bic and Sleepmaker.

I've written articles for various publications, including The London Traveller, Who Weekly, Beat Magazine, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

Along the way, I picked up a  Certificate in Editing and had three books published with Penguin Australia. Last year, during L2, I wrote and published a new book; Diary of a Dance Mum. It's funny. You should buy it.
