Richie Meldrum
Hello.
I am Richie
I started off as a writer, struggled as a journalist, turned into a copywriter and came out as a strategist.
I’ve worked in brand and digital agencies in the UK and Australia, collaborating with designers, technologists, project managers, clients and loads of other incredibly smart people that do things I can’t.
Over the years, I’ve learnt how to use my love of research, writing and human behaviour to influence the outcome of hundreds of projects - from cultural institutions to global corporations, Italian-made womens’ shoes to Vietnamese noodle delivery apps.
I’m passionate about sharing what I know/don’t with others through teaching, speaking and getting involved whenever I can.
I love juice, outdoor swimming pools and battle rap, and am partly responsible for the success of Russell Brand.
Thanks for checking out my site, come again soon.
Cheers,
Richie
