PORTFOLIO
Hi! I’m Sophie Spiers
A marketing professional with years of copywriting experience, both in-house and freelance.
I believe in telling human-centered stories that resonate, no matter if I’m writing for B2B or B2C.
I’m a prolific creator who can adapt to any voice, but who’s especially good at using humor to make a point. (Can’t you tell from this paragraph?)
A Bit About Me:
- I’m a stand-up comic who’s performed at The Comedy Store, The Improv LA, Madhouse Comedy (San Diego) and others.
- I interned at the United Nations, Geneva during college and did The Worm at an event.
- I speak French and lived in France for a year.
- I wrote and maintained a blog of personal comedy essays for nearly a decade. Everything you need to know about me is in that blog (below).
- I hate cream cheese, which is hard when I visit NYC and want a bagel.
- I’m from Concord, MA, home of inconsequential writers, like Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. And Sophie Spiers.
HERE’S SOME OF MY NOTABLE WORK:

I wrote all of the copy for this website, and assisted in the artistic design. I also helped maintain the site itself.
