About Ben Butler

Freelance Copywriter and Creative Director with 18+ years of agency experience on gigantic major huge brands that you have definitely heard of and admire deeply. I know all of the words, and possess an innate knack for organizing them into aesthetically-pleasing groupings. Good with complex briefs, clients, pets, and household repairs. I am here to help and I promise I will never run out of ideas.Through repressed-memory recovery techniques I have, in recent years, rediscovered my love of all things automotive, which I have turned into a professional specialty despite the fact that garages in Brooklyn cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.2 million dollars.I have a bad habit of giving the “thumbs-up” gesture when I’m nervous or excited, which confuses everyone including myself.
