The freelance landscape is jam-packed full of diverse, talented and unique creatives. In fact, one of the brilliant parts of creative recruitment is that we’ve built up a global freelance roster that we’re proud to work with, day in, day out. In our new series ‘Tomorrow’s Freelancer Spotlight’, we’ll introduce you to some of the creatives paving the way in Tomorrow’s creative landscape. First up on the list, is senior creative copywriter, journalist and publisher, Ellie Jackson.

Hey Ellie. Tell us, who are you, where are you based, and what do you do? 

I’m Ellie, a British creative copywriter across branding and advertising, a journalist focusing on culture and sports, and a publisher/founder of an independent magazine by women in the sports space called The Movement Movement, selling in magazine stores across the globe. I’m now based in Berlin. 

What inspires you? 

Being around talented creatives. Creative synergy through collaboration is really a magic thing and I count myself very lucky to get to work with some excellent people. Also, magazines. 

Tell us about a piece of work you look back on and feel good about? 

I guess the obvious one would be both issues of The Movement Movement. I’m always proud of the collaborative storytelling we’re able to cultivate, as well as the feeling of being very much part of the progression of the sport media space to something that is more inclusive and therefore, interesting. Away from the mag, the other thing that springs to mind is a few documentary development projects that I worked on with Rankin and Ridley Scott Creative. There is something really exciting about diving head-first into research and pulling it together into a format that best draws an audience in. 

What makes good work?

Work that people can relate to – while still having a touch of aspiration that dazzles us, and keeps us wanting more.  

Where is your favourite place to work? 

I’m either by the balcony in my flat, or in the Soho House Store workspace in Berlin, breathing in the smell of crisp magazine ink in the store. 

How would you define your personal creative style? 

Bold. Curious. Joyous.

What does the creative landscape need more of? 

Equity. True diversity. Passing the mic. And, the time and space to ruminate and make mistakes; that’s an underestimated part of the creative process.
