Hi, I’m Courtney 👋 - a multidisciplinary creative and strategic professional with 10+ years of experience across the advertising and tech industries.

I started my career as a copywriter, developing integrated campaigns for agencies including Leo Burnett, Fitzgerald+CO, and Ogilvy & Mather. I also worked as an integrated campaigns instructor at the Chicago Portfolio School, where I discovered my passion for creative direction and coaching.

I’ve spent the last six years at Pinterest on the Global Creative Strategy team. I expanded my skillsets in ways that would shock my younger self, who thought the only measure of success was a Super Bowl commercial—well, shock and pleasant surprise!

At Pinterest, I’ve gotten the chance to work with hundreds of brands, live and work abroad, specialize in retail, publish thought leadership, speak at industry events, own CMO meetings, lead product GTMs, manage the US Retail Creative Strategy team, and unlock millions of incremental dollars with expert pitchcraft and awesome creative ideas.

To call myself a creative director, strategy lead, or product marketer wouldn’t encompass what I can do. I speak creative, strategy, media sales, and ad tech and can own any room I walk into. So for now, we’re sticking with a multidisciplinary creative and strategic professional who always loves to talk but never in the absence of action.

Holler, if you want to chat! 📲
