The doctor is in the house. Dr. Simon Cassam is our newest copywriter and is here to hold clinic on creative content.
He joins us having recently completed a PhD in Creative Writing, with a specialist in trauma fiction, with a particular interest in the intersection between lived and represented experience.
His focus is on creating compelling stories, informative newswires and engaging video scripts – and more.
What is your favourite food?
I love a good gammon steak.
What is your favourite destination?
I don’t go often enough, but it has to be the beach, or anywhere with a sea view.
What are your interests outside of work?
Reading (though I don’t read enough), writing and video games.
Who do you admire most, and why?
Ever since I was little, I have always been inspired by Spider-Man. I like his sense of responsibility and commitment to always do the right thing.
If you could have one wish, what would it be?
I would wish to be a best-selling novelist and maybe pick up a few literary prizes along the way.
Who would you most like to have dinner with?
It would have to be William Shakespeare – the greatest writer of all time and arguably one of the most intelligent people of all time.
