S. Sloan MacLeod is a Copywriter at Rethink and a multidisciplinary artist. They’re either a Renaissance man, or a Jack-of-all-trades, depending on how you look at it.

About

Hi. I’m Sloan. No “E.” I’m confused as to why you clicked on this “About” page despite this text existing on my homepage.
I’m also confused as to why I even have an “About” page. It just seemed like I needed one. So here’s some additional info:

I’m a queer multidisciplinary artist, and a Copywriter at Rethink. I’ve worked with clients like IKEA and Miracle-Gro, and my poetry has appeared in emerge 19, my personal essays in Thought Catalog, and a comedic personal essay and some theatre reviews in SAD Mag—I’ve also read my poetry aloud at the Vancouver Writer’s Festival.

 

I try to keep my creative practice as broad as possible. Writing, photography, videography, music… Anything I can get my hands on. What can I say? I’m an excitable, enthusiastic little dweeb.

 

I like anything holographic, hydrangeas, fashion, abstract art, collaging, journaling, absurd memes. I like to shuffle and rollerskate. I like laughing and making people laugh. I like piña coladas, getting caught in the rain, and writing unhinged emails.

 

If any of this is up your alley, feel free to peruse my blog.

Here’s some stuff I do:

I write uppers, downers, and all-arounders. I’ve published works of Poetry (mostly of the emo variety), Nonfiction (mostly theatre reviews for SAD Mag), and Creative Nonfiction (some funny, some real bummers).

I love performing readings of my work. I aim to do so as naturally as possible, more off-the-cuff than monologue.

…I do also know how to, just, like, read. I am literate. That’s a skill.

I’m a copywriter at Rethink, where I Make Ads.

I’ve edited several works by emerging artists for SAD Mag, both in print and online.

After several years of being trained to sing Broadway—yeah, I’m that person at karaoke—I now sing and write under the name Sadhype.

Before I was a copywriter at Rethink, I was a receptionist and administrative assistant at Rethink. I like to think I Peggy Olson’d it.

I used to work on the backend of Rethink’s website, and on the backend of SAD Mag’s website. And, of course, this very website right here! I designed and built the entirety of this website. I strive to add whimsy to this UI/UX.

I shoot portraits on digital and film.

I wouldn’t say I’m a cinematographer, but I sure do love shooting and editing DJ sets.

Who knew making skit videos as a kid would lead to 11 years of video editing experience?

I’m a pro at this.
