Okay now onto business.

 

Kait Wilbur (she/her) is a copywriter based in Chicago. She writes across a variety of mediums including digital, social media, out-of-home, broadcast (whatever that means anymore!), and delightful contributions to the groupchat. A Gen Z-er whose mother wouldn’t allow her to have a TV in her bedroom as a child because she’d “never come out,” her work draws from the unreasonable amount of time she spends thinking and talking about pop culture and the social world around her. 

When she’s not writing ads, she’s seeking attention and validation in other formats: as a performer and improviser in Chicago’s comedy scene, and as the writer of two Substack publications: Kait Wilbur’s Incredibly Specific Playlists and Kait Wilbur’s Big Feelings Corner. She used to be more of a social media creator, but now finds that sort of thing to be kind of cringe. (Not when other people do it. Just for her. Other people are great!)

She’s still never had a TV in her bedroom.
