̌
I’m Ilyssa Berger Wilson.
I grew up in Nashville, a place where creativity and passion run deep. While I didn’t become a country star (but feel free to ask me about my time performing across local shopping malls and picnics as a teen), that spirit of innovation and connection led me to a career in advertising. Now, I write things that make people stop, think, and (if I’ve done my job right) feel something.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the chance to create campaigns that do more than inform—they drive real change. From raising awareness about a life-changing blood test to designing a typeface that literally hides education in its punctuation, I’ve learned that the best ideas don’t just say something—they do something. And when they do something, people take notice. Check out some of my awards down below.
While I love a good idea, I can’t forget to mention that I love helping other people get to theirs even more. Seriously, mentoring and managing creatives is one of my favorite parts of the job.
