T2 Tea - Loose-Leaf Tea and Iced Tea packaging (copywriting)
Jill Farrar has been our copywriter of choice for several major projects for T2 Tea. She has been an absolute dream to work with on each of these projects. Jill is very thorough during the initial briefing process, she takes the time to understand the brand, brief and desired outcome. Jill always provides realistic timelines and meets deadlines. Most of the copy she has written for T2 has demanded a high level of creativity that she has achieved with ease. I look forward to working with Jill on many more projects and reading the fabulous copy that she produces for T2!
