Lizzie Sherwood-Smith

Lizzie is hosting this event, because she has never seen anything like it advertised before in Dublin, and wanted to go to a copywriting workshop. Oh, and to have a break from her pesky Art Director. Lizzie is a Senior Copywriter at ICAN where she has worked for 6 years. This year, Lizzie has been part of the creative team that have won 3 awards for Social Media campaigns: a silver shark for Pizza Hut Delivery at the Kinsale Shark Awards, and an ICAD Bronze and Best Social Media Campaign at the Irish Web Awards for Bulmers Pear.
