Bio
Katie Quaite
Emily is one of the brightest stars I have been fortunate to work with. She is quick to grasp a branding conundrum and serve up fresh, incisive thinking to solve briefs quickly and effectively. Emily also happens to be a gifted artist and a first-class wordsmith - a visual copywriter of the most talented kind. A rare find these days.
Becks Powell
Emily and I worked together on a showcase campaign for one of our key clients. For this campaign, Emily’s finger was always on the pulse - conducting research and weaving in current affairs to the content to ensure it was fresh and engaging! Emily never fails to deliver – always with a smile and positive attitude. Emily always ensures she has fully understood a brief – and will push back with relevant and important questions to ensure we deliver a world class output. Emily is a reliable and well respected member of the TMP team. I would highly recommend Emily for any upcoming roles! She just brilliant.
