“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
Hello. My name is Tyler Kirk. Thanks so much for stopping by my web house. I’m a Creative Director/Copywriter in Chicago, Illinois. I received my undergrad degree from Texas Tech University and later entered the Copywriting program at Chicago Portfolio School.
For the past dozen or so years, I’ve made a living wandering the halls of various agencies and creating content for some of the most respected brands in the world . . . an honor and responsibility that I take very seriously. Luckily, it’s a craft that I truly love and am quite passionate about. Along the way, I’ve had a couple wonderful full-time stops at shops including Leo Burnett, HAVAS and GSD&M where I led and managed teams, pitched (and won) new business, and even racked up some awards.
Whether writing for a website, creating a 360 campaign, TikToking, blogging about deodorant, shooting TV spots, or some other deliverable in the seemingly endless list of other media platforms, my mission is always the same: own the voice ~ cause a disruption ~ make something new ~ communicate effectively ~ create a meaningful conversation.
I consider this entire website to be my resume and prefer to let my work do most of the talking.
Please feel free to poke around, open things, close stuff, have a looksee . . . and then talk about me behind my back. If you'd like to know more, please reach out.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Below are a bunch of pictures that nobody asked for. But since this is my "ABOUT" page, I thought I'd provide a short pictorial tour of some of the things that I love, various interests, and other nonsense that makes me giggle.
