Heidi is a poignant writer. She writes the emotive copy that helps banks align their words with their brands.

A Few More Really Random Things
You Didn’t Know About Heidi
What do you tell people when they ask what you do?
I tell people that I write copy. Sometimes people think it is a legal thing. So I tell them that I write stories; I use words to evoke emotion, sell products, entertain, educate and tell stories.
What is your favorite advertising slogan?
“My bologna has a first name.” That jingle comes to mind.
What is your job’s greatest perk?
Two things: the people that I work with, and a flexible schedule. It’s so huge. And the people, like Clark, I feel so attached to his thinking and he has taught me so much about how to think more creatively and put myself in other peoples’ shoes and write for them. And Sean is understanding, professional, kind. But everyone is just so smart.
If your job were a singer, who would it be?
Roberta Flack, “Killing me softly with his song” comes to mind. It's about being moved by a good story.
Is there a word you don’t like?
Utilize. I hate that word. Use … why would you use utilize when can use use!
What’s your greatest domestic hidden talent?
I can make some homemade Italian foods, like tortellini and spiedini, Italian favorites that my great grandmother used to make.
What was your childhood like?
I had a terrific childhood. In Detroit, we were kind of poor but really happy. I remember playing in the snow a lot, and listening to Barry Manilow. I learned to read by listening to Barry’s Copacobana; I memorized the lyrics. I had a close family.
What’s on your desk every day?
A hot beverage. And my headphones so I can listen to music. I never used them until six months ago; Clark said he could never work without them. So I started listening to instrumental music, and now I couldn’t go a day without music in my ear.
What would you be doing if you weren’t doing what you’re doing?
I’d be a therapist.
