Presenting copywriting work to a client strikes fear into the hearts of even the most confident copywriters. Why? Because we’re afraid of the response we’re going to get back. Will they like it? What if they don’t? Will I get paid? Will I ever work again? The temptation is to just email it, hope they read it and pray that they like it. But is that the best way to present our copy to the client? Is that the best way to get our work approved? The best way to showcase our considered thinking that underpins what we wrote?  Are there other ways we can present our work and if so, what are they? This episode is all about how to present your work to the client so that you can increase your chances of getting it approved quickly, get more work and build a long standing, trusted relationship with the client.   You’ll learn how to:  Use a Creative Rationale to present your work Use email, Zoom, or a hybrid approach to get best results Deal with objections to your copywriting work Manage client expectations Educate clients on how to give you a better brief Put clients at ease so they give you the best feedback Distance yourself from taking criticism personally  Mark Farrelly, one of Australia’s most versatile copywriters.

He then moved to the iconic advertising agency, M&amp;C Saatchi Senior Writer/Creative Group Head where he worked on brands including Morning Fresh, Cussons Imperial Leather &amp; others.

He is a very wise soul and a strong ally to the LGBTQ world.Amongst other projects Mark has been touring the UK for a fair few years with his one man show 'Quentin Crisp - A Naked Hope' - We discuss his relationship with Mr Crisp and we discuss how that through chaos and disorder in his own life he eventually found solace in Quentin.We talk through his other one man show 'The Silence Of Snow' about the life of author Patrick Hamilton.He talks about the connections to both men and how some of life's heartbreaks and losses have inspired him to write some of his strongest material and also how to be a better listener to others who need an ear.He talks through his time at Cambridge and some of the significant insecurities that were born of that time, and how he over dosed on learning.A pleasure to listen to and chat with - Enjoy!!Links to Mark -http://markfarrelly.co.uk/ twitter.com/markfarrellyukand me !40somethinggay.co.uk www.facebook.com/40somethinggay

Episode 36 - Mark Farrelly - Life, Quentin Crisp and all between.

This episode was recorded in London.  Let it be known to the the universe that Tom Rhodes Radio gives Mark Farrelly's one man show 'Quentin Crisp' a 5 star review.  This show invites libation imbibement and encourages you to be yourself whatever you wish that self to be. Being exactly what you are even if that is a bore.  Mark was doing his Quentin Crisp solo show at the Gilded Balloon for the Edinburgh Fringe festival and I met him about half way through the festival's run at the Loft bar, the private bar for the entertainers and artists doing shows there. I had so many deep conversations with him over the last 2 weeks of the festival and I liked his show much I thought it an imperative that he be a guest on my show.  After our Edinburgh run we both went to London, me to do my show at the Soho theater and Mark to do his at the St. James theater. My wife Ashna and I went to see his show again in London and then we invited Mark over to have a few bottles of wine and record this conversation in our rented flat.  His show at the St. James theater was brilliant with the verve and excitement of live performance that Mark brought to his character and since it was in the evening with alcoholic beverages flowing each of the excellently written lines of dialogue hit their targets making the room explode with laughter. Mark told me he loved the message of Quentin Crisp because it wasn't about being gay it was about being yourself.  In this conversation we talk about the harshness of criticism, the meaning of life and the most interesting people who ever lived. "Writing 87,000 reviews would never feel as good as giving one performance." In today's narcissistic society no one knows who they are and what to believe in. Quentin Crisp's life told by Mark Farrelly is one to gain inspiration from and peppered with Quentin's sharp quotes on life we are reminded of why Quentin Crisp is worth remembering.  "We live in a pretty dreary world were most people don't even have the decency to be themselves." In this episode you will learn why it is our excessive freedom is what makes us miserable and why having personal style will cure you of your excessive freedom. He is one of the people who I enjoyed speaking with the most on my most recent visit to the Queen's British Isles. It is my pleasure to present to you now the one and only Mark Farrelly!
