Bio
Robin Fitzgerald
Ben is a prolific writer. It's a rare talent who can swing between writing pieces for Vice magazine during his off hours and writing bottle copy for Vitamin Water during his day job - while never losing creative integrity on either. Ben always brought it. The curiosity. The passion. The positivity. And, most importantly, the ideas. He never fell short of them. No matter what he was asked to work on. If you have the opportunity to work with him, I'd make it happen while you can still afford him.

Ben Majoy...where do I begin? Honestly, I can't say enough great things about my time working with Ben. A super-smart, funny, passionate creative, who possesses a desire for originality in every piece of work he does, big or small. It's that intellectual curiosity that really sets him apart as a writer and creative. I've really never seen anyone enjoy unearthing the potential of where an idea can go, more than Ben. Not a contrarian, but an explorer. Fearless in his meandering, and confident that he will always return with the best solution to a defined problem. I learned a great deal from my time working with Ben. We hypothesized, we theorized, we jazzercised; and for all of this, I truly am a better professional human being.
