Carly Quellman
Name: Carly Quellman
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Currently based in: Brooklyn, NY
Previous experience: I am a writer and producer with a background in journalism, international spacial planning, and performing arts. I have written copy for numerous local organizations and brands including Red Hook Star-Revue, Friends NYC, everybody water, and Quoted Magazine, where I am currently the Associate Producer. I have experience in copywriting, digital marketing, and video production roles—it was through those multiple experiences that I found myself passionate about pursuing positions within the experiential marketing space. Before COVID-19 hit, I left my full-time job for an assignment in Honduras, where I was part of a 10-day project focused on the global water crisis.
Describe yourself in three words: Whimsical, passionate, driven
What I want my next opportunity to look like: I am in the market for a full-time role, but due to COVID-19 I am open to anything that speaks to my outlook on life. (See below for what that is). I would like to pivot out of strictly writing roles into more-active positions in the experiential marketing and content production fields. I love purpose-driven companies and nonprofits that speak to things such as: environmental sustainability, clean beauty, and social impact initiatives.
I feel inspired when: I am combining the multiple things I love into something that challenges the status quo and advocates for change. Travel always inspires me and reminds me that while my individual story is unique, I am human first and foremost.
Outside of work you’ll find me: Plotting my next travel destination, specifically for where I'm going to pursue my Masters degree. I love hot yoga, dance, and anything movement oriented. Being outdoors is my gateway to staying healthy (and sane), so anything involving vitamin D is my go-to.
