I’m Kev Clarke, a creative of many hats but I tend to wear one at a time. Throughout my life, a recurring compliment I would receive is, “ you have a way with words.” As the winner of the 7th-grade spelling bee, I could see why they’d say that.

Attending the same Brooklyn high school as JAY-Z, Biggie, and Busta Rhymes, creativity was all around me. I began with music but quickly expanded after meeting a content curator for 2 Chainz, who sold me my first camera on Facebook Marketplace while I was on my lunch break bank teller. This led me to shoot events like 1 of the 2 Rolling Loud NY ever, deepening my passion for capturing culture. I then created ToberTalks, a digital conversation series where I spotlighted my creative friends across music, fashion, and art. What started as a podcast merch led to the development of a fashion brand with over 500 original pieces. Most recently I threw my first creative gallery exhibition with over 100 people showing up to support as we celebrated 10 years of trying sh*t. Though people often told me to focus on just one path, I embraced all forms of creativity and it paid off.

When I discovered advertising, I became laser focused on building a career rooted in creativity. I knew that working alongside the sharpest minds would only make me better, so I immersed myself in three competitive programs: The Workshop, The One School, and D&AD Shift. They gave me the skills, discipline, and network to break into the industry. That path led to a full-time creative role at Ogilvy, where I had the opportunity to concept campaigns with award-winning teams for iconic brands like IKEA, Verizon, Coca-Cola, and Visa. A Global Copywriter role at Converse HQ in Boston, where I ideated and developed campaigns for Converse that would show up in North America and Western Europe which included brand collabs such as NBA MVP Shai 001, Tyler the Creator Golf Wang and Golf Le Fleur, Rick Owens, Naruto Shippuden and many more.
