What people are saying

“Kenly Craighill is a genius. Every single day, Kenly would offer a thought, idea, or deliverable that would make me slap my desk and question aloud, "Why didn't I think of that?" Her intellect is only matched by her utterly tenacious work ethic. Kenly never failed to meet a deadline and was a critical driving force behind many creative-team projects. She brought all this to the table while being one of the most collaboratively open, hilarious, and inherently cool people I've ever met. One of my greatest joys from working at Human Agency was calling Kenly my colleague. She is a sophisticated, empathetic, and always-reliable force who will significantly elevate any project she undertakes. I seethe with unabashed jealousy at the next writer who gets to bounce ideas off her.”

“Kenly is extremely genuine, so funny, and super smart. She breathes these things into her work, which is why her work is so captivating, and she brings these things into her interactions with clients and her team, which is why she is such a delight to partner with. Her enthusiasm for life and for her work is contagious.”

—angie adkins

“Kenly is so smart and savvy and skilled. I was blown away on my first day by Kenly’s ability to lead a large client through phase one discovery of our pre-production process. And my awe of her has only grown.

Kenly has a keen sense for compelling narrative, how to base it on sound research and apply it to overall business, brand, and marketing strategy. She is a dynamic content designer and senior level copywriter who has navigated relationships and projects across a wide range of industries and clients.

Everything she proposes and delivers is well founded and and thought out. Her work is impactful and honest. Most of all, she has unwavering spirit and her work has soul.

You should be so lucky to have Kenly on your team.”

—cait camarata

“What CAN'T Kenly Craighill do? I ask the question because, after working with her at Human Agency, I know how multi-faceted her skills are. Kenly is one of my favorite kinds of people to engage with in a work setting mainly because she really understands the beautiful Venn diagram of strategy + creativity.

Whether the project involved brand identity, discovery, landscape analysis, product marketing, social campaigns, or copywriting: Kenly could confidently navigate it all, delivering consistently high-quality work. I will always be grateful to have worked with Kenly because I had a front-row seat to the sparks of magic she brought to her work. She is hard-working, funny, curious, and focused. She centers the importance of storytelling in all she does, and in doing so, she becomes a genuine evangelist for the brands she represents.

Low-key: Kenly is a real one. I cannot recommend her enough.”

—maggie gremminger

“I had the pleasure of working closely with Kenly for over a year and a half at Human Agency. Not only does she always bring fantastic work to the table, but she has played an integral part in our company’s culture and is a key member of each team she works on. Kenly has true skill when it comes to adopting and orchestrating a brand’s voice and tone across any medium, building wireframes for new websites from scratch, and synthesizing large amounts of information into comprehensible takeaways. She introduced the “Hero’s Journey” framework to our agency and has championed its adoption across our work, as well as taught our clients what it is and how we use it–it has become our go-to approach. Anyone would be lucky to have her on their team!”

—avia matossian

“Clients love Kenly. The team loves Kenly. I love Kenly. Simply put, she is a badass.”
