Kelly Garcia is a Creative Alchemist with a strategic edge. She loves to unearth the intersection of a brand’s competitive advantage and it’s relevancy to customers. And transforms it into work that speaks to the world.

She spent the beginnings of her career shapeshifting roles. From selling ad media to local NYC businesses to saving NYC restaurants in low foot traffic locations with savvy social media marketing.Then, using her strategic PR & Marketing prowess to build up a $5M boutique sandal company. When none of these felt fulfilling enough, she delved into her love for writing and used the pen to create a career for herself in an advertising. Earning recognition from Cannes, The One Show, and ADCOLOR first from her creations on IBM and IKEA at Ogilvy, and then at Apple. Kelly makes meaningful work that resonates universally, be it funny, direct, or inspirational.
