Making your own rules - Copywriter Robbie King
Robbie swapped agency life in London for the beaches of Thailand when he upped sticks and set out on his own. He enjoyed his work and wanted to follow a creative path, but he needed more control over his time. Armed only with a lump of savings and some marketable skills that he’d picked up at university, Robbie took the leap and figured out as he went along.

Show Notes
After working as a creative in an ad agency, where he developed concepts for big brands and worked across a range of media, Robbie was ready for something new.
His work was fun and exciting, but it left him with no time for his own projects. And, while he admired those ahead of him in the industry, Robbie didn’t want to be them. He knew agency life wasn’t for him.
Robbie now works remotely, living in places like Thailand and Bali, where he’ll often spend the morning surfing before he starts work.
He chats to Steve about how and why he made the move, what life is like when you’re on the road, and how he makes freelancing work as a digital nomad.
