A Welcome From Andy

Thank you for popping in to visit me in my humble home. It’s great to have you as a house guest.

This website has been developed over 40 years. That’s the time I have been involved in the mad, crazy, wonderful world of direct marketing.

I have loved every minute of it. And continue to do so. I am a passionate upholder of great copy and effective creative for direct and digital marketing.

I will continue carrying this flag - and take great pleasure in identifying and shaming the charlatans that seem to populate this unique business in greater numbers each year.

My personal journey has taken me from a marketing role at RCA Records (being there when Presley died was a hell of an experience) to opening my first agency - Direction Marketing. That soon grew into The Direct Marketing Organisation.

Just over 10 years ago, I morphed that into Andy Owen & Associates.

Sixteen years later, I decided to make what would be my final piece of corporate cosmetics. I simply didn’t want to run an agency anymore. I had done my time.

It was nowhere near as much fun as it once was.

I wanted to spend my days, writing great copy and originating effective creative concepts and designs for anyone who wants to hire me.

So, as Andy Owen & Associates gently rode off into the sunset, I introduced Andy Owen, Copy & Creative - to the world - a much more personal offering for everyone out there.

And, as you can see, I’m still here - a further 11 years on from that - and I can confidently suggest, that if you want copy that connects, reassures persuades and sells - then you have arrived at the right place.

If you want your creative to cut through the morass, demand attention and - working with the copy - influence response and sales, then perhaps you should get in touch with me without delay.

In the meantime, enjoy the site. There are loads of good things for you here…
