I'm Kyle Kimball.

I like to make things up.
That being said, all of THIS stuff is real and earned.

PLACES THAT GAVE ME MONEY:

Freelance (January 2022 - Present)

ASSOCIATE CREATIVE DIRECTOR (COPY)

Creativity on-call. Hopped around agencies bringing my A-Game to pitches and projects and whatever the team needs. I bring good ideas and good energy wherever I go.

Big Spaceship (February 2018–November 2021)

Senior copywriter —> ASSOCIATE CREATIVE DIRECTOR (COPY)

Was a writer on all things Starbucks. Name a season and I helped sell coffee during it.

Made bank working on a bank. Helped launch multiple new credit cards and programs for Chase.

I pulled directly from my crazy family to make ads for Roku’s Holiday campaign. Shout out to the Kimballs!

I’m fairly funny on Slack.

TBWA\CHIAT\DAY NEW YORK (March 2016–February 2018)

COPYWRITER

I got paid to make stuff up for different brands like Izze Fusions, 7UP, TD Bank, and Nissan.

Work spread from things you’d see on your phone to things you’d see at sports arenas.

I love an audience, so I was constantly brought to client meetings and pitches to sell in work. A win-win, trust me.

VAYNERMEDIA
(June 2014–March 2016)

ASSOCIATE COPYWRITER - [PROMOTED]

Went from monitoring social content to straight up making it. I was relied on to create full monthly content calendars for Stella Artois. I learned the best way to host a party and pour a beer in the process.

COMMUNITY MANAGER

Mastered a range of voices across multiple brands and their social channels. Need to talk to a Mountain Dew drinker? I’m your guy. How about a Bud Light bro? Hi, it’s me, the perfect person to talk to about that. I also live-tweeted on behalf of multiple FOX shows where timeliness and grammatical perfection were necessary.

PLACES THAT TOOK MY MONEY:

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY ‘14

S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications \\ B.S. Advertising

Martin J. Whitman School of Management \\ Marketing Minor

THINGS MY PARENTS ARE PROUD OF:

I love what I do for a living

My compassion for others—always a team player.

The fact that I’m no longer on their phone plan (but I do still use their cable login for HBO)

I give tech support over the phone WITHOUT losing patience

My Eagle Scout Award

My sense of humor (they say I got it from them, but if I did, I must have taken all of it)

I call them frequently

My ability to switch the input from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2—a skill they are lacking.

THINGS I'M PROUD OF:

I love what I do for a living

I can tie my shoes really, really fast.

My go-to karaoke playlist on Spotify (I can send it to you).

Invented a game within my office’s Slack that over 60 people played daily (for over 2 years and counting—even after I left).

I had pizza every Wednesday for two years straight #PizzaWednesday

The impressive amount of knowledge I have regarding the hit CBS show Survivor (I’ve auditioned four times)

I can have déjà vu without telling people I’m having déjà vu

My tweets

I can come up with a pun for just about anything

I was the first guy in third grade to have a girlfriend

My helpfulness in pub trivia (pop culture, music, TV/Movies are my most useful areas of expertise)

During my freshman year of high school I played football weighing in at 88 lbs. I had an extra point play named after me called “Kyle Dives”but the team rightfully called it “Kyle Dies”

MORE KYLE

This is my Survivor audition video in case you wanted to see that.

That's the host and executive producer (and my new buddy) Jeff Probst. He liked it!
