Hollie Ontrop
Copywriter, SmithGifford
While most young children were selling freshly squeezed lemonade, Hollie was selling poems and short stories—typically to sympathetic neighbors. And although writing has always been a significant part of her life, she knew it would most likely not pay the bills regularly. So she sharpened her pencils and went into advertising.
During her years at JWT, Creative Energy, Code 18 Interactive, and now at SmithGifford, Hollie has worked on an array of clients including the Marines, U.S. Virgin Islands, National Geographic Museum, Nokia, Identity Guard, Thomasville Furniture, ACT Mouthwash, Gold Bond, Melwood and Blue Cross Blue Shield. And she managed to pick up a couple awards along the way.
