Hi, I’m Scottie Ballard.
From marketing to Big Tech, I've built my career around the art and science of great storytelling. Based in Austin, TX, I translate business goals into creative work that performs, blending analytical thinking with an award-winning knack for writing to build content that wins no matter the platform.
Growing up, I was the kid that always talked in class— so imagine my surprise when I found out you could get paid for it, too. By college, I’d learned the best conversationalists also make for the most active listeners: so I decided to pair the two, and connect my love for storytelling with a people-first approach.
With a B.A. in Public Relations from Murray State University, I’ve sharpened my expertise in ad operations, campaign development, organic & paid social content, digital journalism and so much more.
If I had a secret superpower, it’d have to be synthesizing: it’s the engine behind my most successful work, and combines my endless sense of curiosity with a hunger to find the best possible solution for my clients. That drive has allowed me to work at some of the most innovative brands in media & tech, where drive success at scale for top advertisers by focusing on the content that matters most: stories that move you to act.
Off the clock you can find me in community spaces like every.Word Poetry and Austin Poetry Slam, rooting for everybody creative.
