Brand Copywriter | Results-Oriented. Audience-Focused.
ABOUT ME
I'm Tracy, a brand copywriter with a creative spirit and a passion for storytelling.
But it's not just about the story, it's about the impact. I love crafting copy that lands perfectly, whether it's a clever line that makes you chuckle or content that transforms a brand's image and drives results.
But it's not just about the story, it's about the impact. I love crafting copy that lands perfectly, driving results like 20% higher click-through rates, 15% more social media engagement, and a 10% sales growth for Carter's! (think major wholesale retailers like Target, Walmart, Kohl’s, and Amazon) Want to see even more real-world examples? Check out my Behance portfolio!
Meanwhile, flip through this book to see how I bring concepts to life through engaging copy. When I'm not collaborating with brands to develop effective copywriting strategies, I am exploring hidden gems like a local, enjoying eclectic Spotify playlists, deep diving into history, or sweating it out in a Zumba class here in NYC (my hometown!).
Now that you know more about me, let’s connect and see where our paths may cross.

Better Help: Emotional Equity
Pay Yourself On Time.
Better Help therapy sessions as currency to spend on life’s stressful expenses.
Insight
Therapy sessions can be costly for uninsured Black people or those with limited mental health coverage options, fueling the myth that therapy is a luxury. However, with the rise of financial education in the Black community, many are more mindful of how they spend their money—while simultaneously realizing that investing in one's mental health is equally important.
Solution
Better Help will launch Emotional Equity, a program that shows patients tangible results from their mental health journey progress. Attending each therapy session (earned income) will accumulate interest to reduce the patient's emotional debt (a factor adding to their life stress).
For instance:
Patients will be able to keep track of the emotional equity that they are earning through the Better Help app with the opportunity to share their achieved emotional win with the Better Help community. Seeing physical evidence of how consistent therapy pays it forward to dramatically reducing stress in the patient’s life will motivate other new and existing patients to invest in their emotional equity.
Execution
The burden of paying a high premium on basic liability car insurance will be relieved with a year of free full coverage car insurance that the patient pays for with the credit earned through their emotional interest.
Traveling out of the way or cutting corners to buy fresh and healthy groceries for a household in a food desert will be a thing of the past, thanks to a free meal prep subscription for a year that the patient will pay with the credit they earned through their emotional interest.
Scraping to pay for textbooks or supplies will no longer be a factor once the patient applies the credit earned through their emotional interest towards a school year’s worth of both.
After their first (non-introductory) therapist’s session, new patients can open an MHIA (Mental Health Investment Account) to set emotional objectives (comparable to financial goals) with Better Help encouraging them to think big.
Each therapy session earns the patient emotional interest they can apply to erase their emotional debt. Patients can keep track of their earned emotional interest in the Better Help app while sharing their achieved emotional wins with the Better Help community.

Keepin’ It 100
Problem
In 1998, Nokia became the go-to mobile brand for teens, boasting extended battery life, durability, and style. Despite its initial appeal, the brand lost ground over a decade due to evolving preferences, tech advancements, heightened competition, and shifting trends. Nokia must find a compelling way to reconnect with younger consumers.
Solution
Nokia will launch a powerful 360° campaign, 'Keepin' It 100', with the Nokia C30 smartphone as the central figure, embodying the core ethos of this campaign. With its remarkable battery life lasting up to three days, the campaign will effectively highlight how the Nokia C30 perfectly embodies the spirit of 'Keepin' it 100'. This initiative gives Nokia an invigorating brand refresh while creating a compelling reason for younger consumers to reevaluate and rediscover the brand's entire range of phones.

Dosist: Small Doses. Big Reward.
Digital Out Of Home billboards that illustrate the most potent cbd+ formulas each Dosist pen provides.
Insight
People often get tripped up by the noise in their heads, whether kept up at night by a seemingly unsolvable problem or overthinking a task that is easy to complete.
Solution
Rather than displaying each vape pen, Dosist will transport the viewer to the mental and sensory destination each cbd+ formula provides.
Execution

Cyberpark
Sustainability on wheels, luxury edition.
Failed Tesla Cybertrucks transformed into space-age Cybertruck campers for the homeless.
Problems
With ongoing shelter safety issues amidst the onslaught of bitterly cold winter weather, New York City’s homeless need a warm, safe place they can call home.
Solid waste disposal methods have negatively impacted New York State, particularly stormwater, hazardous waste, air emissions, petroleum spills, and other environmental concerns.
Insight
With winter approaching and the shutdown of the program that placed unhoused New Yorkers in hotels, NYC faces uncertain availability of homeless shelters amidst overpopulation and pandemic-related concerns.
Eliminating solid waste promotes a superior quality of life by reducing the harmful impact on human health and the economic wealth of New York City.
Solution
Tackle the homelessness and waste pollution issues by killing two birds with one stone: provide NYC’s homeless families with a camper to live in that was once a Cybertruck that didn’t pass Tesla’s road test as Tesla maintains its pledge to uphold sustainability by forgoing tossing the Cybertrucks that it has taken off the market out in favor of eliminating waste pollution.
Execution
Tesla will repurpose failed Cybertrucks as camper vehicles called Cyberlandrs, equipped with a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and office space.
Additionally, they will team up with NYC's Bureau of Solid Waste Management to transform a former landfill into a mobile home community for the homeless.
Working with NYC's Department of Housing Services, Tesla will offer fully-furnished Cybertruck campers to homeless families who cannot secure shelter.
To further incentivize participation, Tesla will offer a 50% discount on new Cybertrucks with customization options to owners of old Tesla vehicles.
This socially and environmentally responsible initiative, CyberPark, is a positive step towards addressing NYC's post-pandemic challenges.
