Copywriter
& Creative Director

Andrew Bradley

Freelance Copywriter and Creative Director, I’m most known as the writer of IKEA’s ‘Start the Car’ commercial, in May of 2024 crowned ‘Best Canadian Ad of the 21st Century’ by Campaign Canada.

Until end of 2024, on contract at Broken Heart Love Affair where I’m helping on various pitches and projects. In 2023, during an extended contract at McCann Canada, our project ‘Fill the Business Gap’ took top prize at the Bell IDEA ICA competition, winning $1 million in media for Mastercard.

For over 20 years, I’ve helped shape ideas and projects for Canada’s top ad agencies and their clients as an Ideator, CD, ACD, Audio Director, and OCADU Copywriting Instructor.

'a writer's writer...'

Known as ‘a writer’s writer’, I have experience with all kinds of brand tones and media. In my career, agencies have called upon me for humour, smart headlines, longer copy, emotive brand writing, and bigger pitch-type thinking.

My work has been recognized at Cannes, The One Show, the LIAs, Communication Arts, and closer to home at the ADCCs, Marketing, Applied Arts, and shows that don’t even exist anymore.  

 

And why ‘Fuji Tamale’? I’m half Japanese and half Central American. It made sense at the time.

Agencies I've worked for recently

Broken Heart Love Affair, Forsman&Bodenfors, OPEN, FCB Toronto, Puff Digital, Leo Burnett, Cundari, Jackman, Juliet, and Cossette Toronto.
