I’m Kevin Dooley – an austin-based copywriter and content strategist. My passion is finding the most compelling and elegant story to connect brands to their audience. My copy drives growth and engagement, enabling companies to grow their audience and create deeper engagement.
Where I Started
I started my career working on television commercials and TV shows in the Chicago market. I mostly worked in the art department designing and building sets. Occasionally I’d help design or wrangle props as well. Within a couple of years I found my way to Dallas, Texas in my search for a 9-5er. There I worked in the non-profit sector for nearly a decade, leading creative teams of designers, writers, and videographers. During this time my wife and I grew our family by two, starting down the most insanely hard and impossibly rewarding path we’ve ever been on.
After a decade of trying to save the world, I transitioned into the corporate sector, working for tech giant Rackspace and most recently for a scrappy rocket ship of a startup called RigUp primarily in copywriting/content marketing roles. During this time I have also kept a healthy freelance client base, helping smaller organizations optimize their copy.
What I’ve Done
I have worked as a copywriter, content strategist, lead presentation designer, and scriptwriter. Additionally I have shaped marketing campaigns that consistently increased quality leads and engagement with the brand. I have also produced content for large-audience events around the world.
One of My Greatest Passions
In my free time, because I simply cannot stop writing, I write screenplays – shorts, feature-length movies, and television pilots. In fact, I’ve been selected twice to participate in online writers labs through Sundance where I’ve produced two original television pilot scripts: Dead End Job and Displacement.
I am currently available for freelance, part-time, or full-time positions as a copywriter both remotely and in the Austin area.
