Adrienne Cardon is a writer who is serious about strategy.

In my 20+ years in the industry I’ve strategized, designed, written, and crafted unforgettable experiences for brands of all sizes across all mediums and in all industries.

I’ve written radio spots for Burger King, created experiential events for Volkswagen, designed brand identity for Pause/Play, architected brand messaging for PECO Pallet, directed television commercials for cable networks, crafted luxury long-form copy for Blackstone, and even written sitcom scripts (I have an IMDB page! Major life accomplishment!).

As a veteran of the ad world, I have a thorough understanding of the strategic and tactical processes of executing B2B and B2C campaigns for Fortune 500 clients and mom-and-pops alike. I’m ready to take any project from ideation to execution—from luxury real estate to consumer goods.

I’ve presented on creativity and writing at ALT Summit and Listen to Your Mother, and my poetry and essays have been featured in Wayfare, Times and Seasons, Inscape, Public Square, Segullah, Center Gallery NYC, and others. I’m currently the Creative Director at Western Lights Studio, specializing in copywriting, brand story, experiential design, and immersive narrative experiences.

My debut collection of poetry, And Still, Birth: Death and New Life in a Pandemic was published in November, 2020, thanks to a generous grant from the Center Gallery NYC.

I’m a Kansas native currently living in Utah. Off-duty, I enjoy skiing the Greatest Snow on Earth, karaoke, collecting fancy olive oils and spices, and I’m trying to cross as many National Parks off my bucket list as possible.
