juliaretsinis@gmail.com

Berghs alumni with over 6 years of copywriting and creative experience. I question briefs, defy the status quo, and have a holistic point of view all through the progress to make sure the delivery is bulletproof. My writing style is witty, and straightforward, most often with a dose of light-hearted humor (as you can notice in this sentence). I’m a passionate and prestigeless team player who always strives to go above expectations (key to success: set the bar low).

Creative Studio
Conceptual Copywriter, 1,5 year

Sitting in the Creative Studio, I deliver creative strategy, concept and copy on a global scale, on channels such as social, UX, print, email, and in-game. Since our players are mainly young girls aged 11-17, I make sure our communication is always easy to understand, inviting, encouraging, and jolly. This, is for what is the world’s most popular horse and adventure game, with over 26 million registered users and 700 000 active monthly players.

Women’s account, Global Marketing Department
Copywriter, + 3 years

Doing global marketing for the Women’s Department, my days consisted of campaign idea collaboration and commercial fashion writing. The output included printed fashion magazines, OOH, digital screens, social media content, scripts, push, newsletters, and influencer marketing. 

At H&M, pace and prioritization was of the essence, with several simultaneous projects spanning multiple functions, often involving business development and external agencies. 

I’m proud to have been part of developing the tone of voice for its Women’s Department, working on several sustainability campaigns, online sales activities, product development projects, and the Newsletter initiative – achieving an opening rate of +34% and greatly boosting the ROI.

(Not the actual name of the company, I was too intimidated to start my own company and instead intrigued by using a cool company like Cool Company.)

Standing-on-my-own-two-legs highlights include helping to launch an investment bank; creating the tone of voice and web for a plant start-up; supporting H&M with guidelines and campaigns; and setting the tone of voice and web copy for a new knit brand with high sustainability focus.


Copywriter, 6 months + 6 months

Working in tight-knit creative teams on projects involving unions, cinemas, shopping malls, electric cars, real estate, and start-ups. My personal highlight was creating the concept for the Firemill Fire extinguisher, and its slogan "Fighting fire with a twist.”

AddX — Berghs Grad Show

Concept developer and copywriter, 6 months

Studying at Berghs Berghs School of Communication, known as one of the world’s best advertising schools, I was a frequent partaker in extracurriculars; becoming the President of the student body; representing Berghs at the Nobel Prize Awards; being the Copywriter of the student agency; and in charge of creating the Berghs Graduation Show in 2017. 

This grad show, “AddX”, was the most successful one to date, with over 5 000 visitors in three days. I ultimately left Berghs with a scholarship, given by the board.
