I found Ellie to be an excellent writer (obviously), but more than that, a generous collaborator and a genuine pleasure to work with. She always had enough time to talk through the finer points of a brief or a product so that everyone understood what was really important and why. She has a highly-tuned commercial awareness, beyond the craft of writing copy, which makes a killer combination.
