John Ovans is a senior copywriter, creative strategist and journalist with 18+ years of experience in the worlds of luxury, retail, hospitality and travel.

Recently my clients have included Loaf, The Financial Times, RIMOWA, Monocle, House of Grey Wolfe, and more.

I’ve worked in-house as copywriting lead for Cathay Pacific and Fortnum & Mason, giving me a particular knack for handling e-commerce for iconic and luxury brands. But over the years I’ve written about everything from Her Majesty The Queen to drag queens, from ballroom to batteries.

I’ve also previously worked in senior editorial positions for the Time Out Group. I’m now based in London, but my career has moved me to Beirut, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
