Iām that Advertising Guy.
I write long copy on short deadlines and pick sharp words for smart headlines. Doing proactive, interactive and sometimes hyperactive work, I'm just a simple guy who writes complex sentences while giving big ideas to help small brands blow up. A quick-thinking slowpoke with a sharp wit and a soft heart, easily selling everything from lotions to potions with a touch of emotions. A tea-drinking, ever-vaping and occasionally party-loving wallflower who's left-handed but right up front. A tall guy with big dreams and tiny needs, a geek who's hi-tech but low maintenance with a musical soul and a writer's heart. Born with an instinct for technology, a knack for telling a story, and a penchant for obscure bands and popular art. Just a writer by day and a gamer by night, rhyming all the time and being accidentally creative surprisingly often.
I'm out of the box and in the loop. Living in the moment, online, on time and off the charts. Off centre from the get go, below the belt but I'll let you know. The right man with a wrong view and a positive man who likes negative space. I live easy and love strong, going out on a limb to find my feet, seeing my remarks are often recycled. Constantly being recreated, reproduced, reinvented, and well received as a thin man with a thick beard betting on slim chances with fat returns.
I'm a copywriter, a screenwriter, an innovator and a storyteller.
Hopefully yours,
Viraj Chouhan
P.S. I also have valid work visas for the US and Singapore.
