Experience

I’d say I’d seen it all, but I don’t want to jinx myself.
As a former in-house marketing manager, I understand pressure. Marketing departments are expected to deliver great work with even greater results. Fast. As a creative director and copywriter in the agency world, I drank from the firehose on a daily basis. I know how to get up to speed quickly, ask the right questions, and always have a few extra ideas in my back pocket. Whether you need my help one-on-one, or as part of a team, I’m happy to dive in head-first.

I consider Kelly a mentor. She’s thoughtful, driven, a natural leader and just a creative talent. I wanted to emulate her when I was a student and that hasn’t changed even when we were peers. Any company would be lucky to have her strategic, thoughtful ideas.

-Cassidy Buzin, Associate Creative Director, Energy BBDO

“I needed a sharp problem solver, one that could work independently, but also plug into existing team members for input. Kelly brought the intelligence and creativity we needed as well as the questions and insights that helped the team think through every detail.”

-Mark Westman, Group Creative Director, Consultant
