Creative City #16: Katie Hicks of Kith Creative
/Copy Director and Brand Consultant Katie Hicks of Kith Creative talks about the ins and outs of starting your own creative business, her journey from small agency copywriter to working with international fashion brands, and why it’s so important to have faith in your own decisions.
Katie and I have a lot in common, despite the fact that she actually enjoys writing: Listening to podcasts made her want to create her own, one that highlighted the people making moves in Cincinnati’s creative community. Sound familiar? We chat about what a Copy Director really does, how she decided to quit her day job (it was pretty spontaneous!), and how much fun it is to create the person behind the brand.
