Hi, I'm Kinjal, and I'm an award-winning Copywriter (and author). I STARTED MY CAREER AT SOME OF the best agencies on the planet including BBH london, Otherway, and M&C Saatchi london. at the moment, i'm based in nairobi, where i help global brands stand out in saturated spaces with my copy.
​
-
I'm a Cannes Young Lions Kenya Silver (2025) AND GOLD (2026) Award winner and won M&C Saatchi's inaugural Open House pitch competition in 2020, which landed me an internship at the agency's LONDON OFFICE.
​
-
At BBH, I was on the competitive Barn programme, and was mentored by the late, incredible Tony Cullingham, to whom I owe my career, work ethic, and tenacity.
​
-
My work leans towards the bold, the unexpected, and the witty. I enjoy work that challenges industry norms and comes with a surprising insight to boot. work that makes you pause and delight, regardless of the channel. ​​
​
-
I am actively looking for my next role at an agency that prioritises creativity and storytelling across channels, as well as impact-led work.
-
i'm open to global relocation immediately, and if you think i'd be a fit, reach out at wordsbykinjal@gmail.com

N.B: A big thanks to my former partner, Gustavo - though we're separated by distance now, he's the Art Director behind some of the campaigns you'll see.​
