Following a seven-year hiatus from advertising, Suzanne Finnamore is pleased to be back at Foote Cone & Belding here—and pleased that her title of copywriter does not include vp, svp or executive anything.

“It is a high form of compliment,” said the 44-year-old San Francisco native. “That is what I do. I write copy. I don’t prance around and have meetings and have teams under me. But I am a very highly paid copywriter.”

Having left the Interpublic Group agency in 1998, Finnamore published two novels: Otherwise Engaged, about a 36-year-old professional woman who goes through a transformation upon engagement, and The Zygote Chronicles, a humorous take on pregnancy written as a mother’s letter to her fetus.

Finnamore began freelancing for the agency in August on its Hilton account.
