Hi, I’m Rachel Curry (like the food).

I was raised on a healthy mix of Judy Blume novels, high-concept action movies, and MTV. At some point, the Venn diagram of those things formed my personality.

I am a strategically-minded, conceptual copywriter with a keen visual eye and an omnivorous cultural palette. I’m experienced in 360 brand campaigns for brands large and small.

Before advertising, I spent a few years working in entertainment, a.k.a. “Hollywood,” where I helped breathe life into film and television projects at every phase of development and production.

When I’m not writing I’m usually rollerskating, looking at the moon, or vacuuming dog hair off my couch.

A Few More Fun Things:

—> I named this Terry Crews hangout spot

.—> I have a dog named Cricket (photo available upon request)

—> I spent half of my childhood in Houston, Texas and half in Southern California, which means my soul is equal parts DJ Screw and Thin Lizzy. That both is and is not a metaphor.

—> I’ve visited 48/50 U.S. states (I’ll get you one day, Alaska and North Dakota!)
