OCCASIONAL DIRECTOR
Hi I’m Kelly, an advertising creative director. I do writery things for brands. I'm at SidLee now, but before now I was at 72andSunny, Ogilvy, MTV, and more✨
Here's three items I encountered on the same day at Urban Outfitters that both describe me and make me uncomfortable.
I’ve led award winning campaigns for MINI, Coke, and Hershey. I’ve penned Olympic, Super Bowl, and World Cup scripts for Verizon and Comcast. I helped save democracy (tbd) with Instagram. And in a previous life as a Buca di Beppo server I once spilled an entire tray of 22 ounce sodas onto my first customers of my first shift, which keeps me humble.
I would describe myself as an altogether charming mix of Jenna from 30 Rock, Grandmother Willow from Pocahontas, and whatever this idea thing was from those GE commercials.
Surprisingly, I love advertising. It's not an opinion you'll often hear spoken above a whisper, but when a brand is authentic and an agency is brave and a creative team is well fed, weird or funny or emotional storytelling can get reeeeeaaalllly close to art.
