Kelly Garcia is a Copywriter at Ogilvy for IBM, and sometimes IKEA. She got into the industry after her campaign won First Place in the One Club Boot Camp and earned her the recognition of renown Creative Directors like Gerry Graff and Ricard Valero. Kelly was never one to take the path well-trodden. With no formal portfolio school or ad training, she entered the ad industry as a Nuyorican from the Bronx, against all odds. Since then she’s been trusted to get fantasy football players to use AI to help make their picks, turn quantum computing into poetry, and sell IKEA using spoken word to highlight both the New York struggle and the New York dream. As a part-time poet and full-time believer of love, Kelly infuses her interests into her work to create empathetic and relatable experiences. When she’s not working she performs at poetry clubs in New York City, posts visceral love poems on her Instagram, and even makes her own clothes.
