Traci Kampel
Magic Marker on oak tag. Etch-a-Sketch. Eraser Mate on college-ruled notebook paper. Word processor. Blackberry, tablet, MacBook. Traci Kampel been telling colorful stories, drafting vital memos and communications, updating the public, and generally making things sound better across all media since she could first hold a Raw Umber crayon.
After graduating from Brandeis University and earning a Master’s degree in Journalism from Columbia University, Traci worked as a reporter and editor in New York City. Then, to better support her shoe habit, she dove in to the world of marketing communications. Over the course of a career that spans two decades, she has held creative and leadership roles at a breadth of well-known companies and organizations including Sotheby’s, Thirteen/WNET New York, Kaplan/The Washington Post Co., and BrainPOP. She has been lauded for her ability to define, adapt, and maintain the integrity of a brand voice, and the speed and creativity with which she can deliver compelling copy.
In her free time, she dabbles in stand-up comedy, enjoys police procedurals and “30 Rock” reruns, reads, shares memes with her inner circle, is passionate about Coney Island, and obsesses about semi-colons. Based in Manhattan, she is a confection connoisseur, lipstick enthusiast, and parent to a fuzzy, largely useless canine office assistant named Penny.
