keith woodruff

Idea first, that's the idea.

I have 20 years of ad agency experience working on a variety of B2B & B2C clients, have won and judged ADDYs (if that has any weight in your book). I am very conceptual & versatile writer and think visually as well as "headline" and am used to working in teams but just as happy to fly solo.

I am a devious propagandist & strategic thinker & might be the perfect tweak to your team. Cliff Notes are below:
