I\u2019ve since lost the accent. Believe me, at nine years old it was considered neither cool nor sexy.\u00a0That&#8217;s me on your left beaming like a dummy next to comic Jim Norton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-content graphic_shape_layout_style_default_External_256_29\">I love animals, dogs in particular and currently have a female mutt that was rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico, spayed, administered shots and shipped all the way to New England apparently to ruin my hardwood floors, bark at my neighbors and wet the bed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"id4\" class=\"style_SkipStroke_3 shape-with-text\">\n<div class=\"text-content graphic_textbox_layout_style_default_External_587_824\">\n<div class=\"graphic_textbox_layout_style_default\">\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">I listen to loads of stand-up comedy, the darker the better. The best people I\u2019ve met in life are the ones that can laugh at anything &#8211; no matter how horrible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">I play guitar and have some formal music training, much of it involving posing in front of the mirror and wishing I were in Motley Crue. I\u2019m also responsible for the tune you\u2019re currently hearing which will ideally stick in your head for the next 18 hours. Unless you&#8217;re on mobile, in which case it doesn&#8217;t autoload because WordPress stinks. If that&#8217;s the case, feel free to click the play icon at the bottom and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">I\u2019ve worked in advertising for 20+ years, beginning as a copy intern at Arnold Worldwide. The reason I got into advertising? The dress code. I didn\u2019t know what I wanted to do out of college but I knew that whatever it was, I didn\u2019t want it to involve wearing a suit and\/or tie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">After beginning my career spending years as an agency copywriter working on print, radio, TV, collateral and web content for various consumer and B2B clients, I wanted to know more about the big picture and how exactly my script became a radio or TV spot, website or print ad. So I jumped into production.\u00a0I learned a lot during 10 years as an agency producer. Including the most important lesson of all &#8211; producing stinks and I prefer to write.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">So I returned to copywriting in 2009 and haven\u2019t looked back. Although I do enjoy being able to bring my production knowledge and relationships to realize the creative vision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">There, that should have you all caught up on my big important career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2-1\" loop=\"1\" autoplay=\"1\" preload=\"auto\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/paulfortuin.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/This-Is-My-Website-copy.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/paulfortuin.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/This-Is-My-Website-copy.mp3\">http:\/\/paulfortuin.com\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/This-Is-My-Website-copy.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally from England, I came to America as a wee lad of 9 with terrible teeth and an accent that screamed \u201cI\u2019m different, pick on me\u201d.
