About Jon Swihart

I’m a well-seasoned copywriter from Seattle with 13+ years of experience telling brand stories at both traditional and digital agencies. My work has won awards, earned media accolades, and generated massive engagement for clients in telecom, tech, tourism, and more (including industries that don’t start with “t”). I’ve written for pretty much every medium you can slap an ad on, from hilarious TV scripts to eyebrow-raising international stunts to click-worthy site copy. Whether I’m overseeing copy cohesion across entire creative teams or acting as an individual contributor, I apply a love of solid storytelling and scrupulous attention to detail to every assignment. I also have UX and design experience as well as audio production skills, which all come in handy for concepting ideas and collaborating with teammates.When I’m not making ads, I’m probably writing short stories and essays or playing music.
