About me
Hello, I am Marcus Fisher.
For someone who’s never been fishing, I must say it was extremely easy to lure you into reading this - you are just like a Humuhumunukunukuapuaa.
Nevertheless, in the time I’ve spent on land, I have become an award-winning senior copywriter and creative based in Sydney.
Many consider me akin to the Guppy fish, as I have no problem killing my darlings. Something I have done successfully for years across clients like eBay, Amex, ASICS, MYOB, Dominos, The Benevolent Society, Spotify and many other fish in the sea.
Tell me about your pitch wins, you scream softly.
Ok, sure. I have worked on several pitches in my time - reeling in major accounts like Netflix, Bond University, ShopBack and SBS.
But I do other things besides angling and making ads.
I’ve had a lot of fun learning to direct small spots in the past few years, and spent time swimming with Nonna’s Grocer to write some candle-based copy. I’ve even been known to write murder mystery dinners for my dearest pals. Invite Incoming.
And yet, I am unlike the the Four-Eyed Butterflyfish, the only fish that partners for life - as I do not currently have a creative partner.
Humans vs Fish
“Marcus is that rare breed of creative who blurs the lines between colleague, collaborator, and the guy who somehow convinces you to sign up for a half marathon you didn’t want to run. We worked side by side for three years, pitching, writing, winning, and occasionally wondering if we were actually friends or just two people trapped in an endless brainstorm. One things for sure, he’s an exceptional copywriter, a killer presenter, and the kind of creative who elevates every project. Looking forward to the day we make things official on Strava.”
Angus Mullane, Founder & Executive Producer at Jack Nimble
”Marcus has become a consistently consistent creative over the last few years. He consistently shows up with ideas. He consistently presents well to clients. And he consistently works well with production. This hasn't just happened overnight. Marcus has worked incredibly hard to become a consistently consistent creative. That's actually what I love the most about him - he has an incredible work ethic. To put it bluntly, he simply works harder than others. Because of this, Marcus has become an extremely safe pair of hands.”
Adam Wise, Founder & ECD at Jack Nimble
”Marcus, Marcus, Marcus… where do we even begin? After working with him on countless projects, we’ve finally cracked the code on his vibe: A mysteriously good-looking zen master who radiates pure calm, carries zero ego, and somehow still hits you with lightning-fast wit. A rare breed. Let’s be real—this exact description is probably pinned to his vision board. Bottom line? We love working with him. He’s always pushing for the kind of brilliantly silly ideas that stick with you forever. TLDR: Handsome. Witty. Zen. We love him.”
