Katie Anne Naylon

Hollywood, CA, USA
I have been working in advertising for over 7 years, although I still feel like a 16 year-old at heart. I absolutely love concepting. I like challenges. I excel at pitching work and am a client-facing team member. Although I've taken much time off in the past few years to write and produce a film, knock out some TV pilots and the like--- I will always come back to advertising to keep my creative muscles at work. It's always an honor to tell a story.

Work Experience

Phenomenon

Associate Creative Director/Creative Lead

Phenomenon is just that. It's the best kept secret in advertising. And that's all I'm legally allowed to say about it. I've done a broadcast campaign, pitch-winning work and some web staples. We pretty much crush it over there, all the time.

Ogilvy

Senior Copywriter

Nature Made, Cisco, Wells Fargo, TABASCO, McKesson, California Community Colleges, Mexico
September 2009 - June 2011 Los Angeles, California, United States

Euro RSCG

Copywriter

This was my advertising heyday. I'll never forget my time at Euro. I was lucky to work on Volvo, FranksRedHot, Clearasil and tons of pitches. I still miss that place.
August 2007 - April 2009 New York, New York, United States

G2

Freelance Copywriter

I freelanced at G2 before finding a longer term (full time) home at EURO RSCG. I worked exclusively on pharma here-- a great experience to fall back on!

Continuity

Freelance Copywriter

I worked at this offshoot of McGarry Bowen doing pitch phase concepting for Oscar Meyer, South Park and Kraft. It was at this job that I became known as "an ideas guy" even though I am a girl.

Anomaly

Copywriter

Talk about intro to advertising! My spec work was bought by Dasani Water and incorporated into their new digital campaign-- which included mobile-- pretty new back in 2006. I was rehired as the main copywriter on the digital launch of Coca Cola's new Enviga. I had no idea what I was doing, but I did it so well, it became my new life.
June 2006 - November 2006 New York, New York, United States

Education

Florida State University

Bachelor of Science, Communication Studies and English- Creative Writing.

I went to college. I graduated Cum Laude with dual degrees in 3 years while working-- quite the feat at the time, although now it seems a bit silly. One might wish she had a little more fun and wasn't in such a rush to grow up! Oh, Katie Anne. You. If I ever procreate, I will impart this wisdom upon said tiny human creation.
