Victoria's Secret: Pinterest









At Victoria's Secret, I co-managed the voice of the brand's Pinterest board with a fellow copywriter. We teamed with the digital, PR and beauty teams to create compelling content which included aspirational imagery and copy. Here are a few examples of content I created for our Beauty Edit, Make A Splash (swim) and Sexy Little Bride boards. For the Beauty Edit board, I helped name the board and wrote the subhead. To bring the beauty team's Haute Pink concept to fruition, I pulled imagery, wrote captions for pins and worked with a digital designer to bring my original copy to life on custom pins, which we found to resonate well with the VS customer. For the Dolce Vita themed swim board, which was based on a Swim 2013 catalog, I found images, wrote captions and created language for custom pins. Last but not least, we were asked to refresh the Sexy Little Bride board with a fresh copy concept and new imagery. So I created the Sexy Little Bride tips, which consist of a straight forward tip followed by sexy twist in parenthesis, and helped pull together and caption images.

Victoria's Secret: What's New digital story




I was asked to turn a catalog section that I wrote for a Victoria's Secret High Summer 2013 catalog into a compelling digital story for the What's New section of the website. To do so, I worked with the digital team to translate the "Looks We Love" concept into a 10-page slide show that consisted of 9 shoppable looks. Here are a few examples of the I copy I created for this content-meets-commerce piece.

Victoria's Secret: Spring 2013 Catalog














Here are two sections from the first Victoria's Secret Spring 2013 catalog, which I wrote. The first section serves as the clothing opener for the book and includes styling notes on how to put looks together. The second is dressing up story for which I created a starlet-inspired editorial theme. I wrote all of the creative copy for both including headlines, subheads and style notes.
