Kendyl Loper

Backstory:

Kendyl grew up in Dallas a stone’s throw from the Plot Twist office. She channeled her love of storytelling, people and economics into pursuing a PR degree at UT Austin, where she worked as an account manager for Texas Tower PR, a student-run PR agency, planning the annual Longhorn Run 5k/10k and attending many, many concerts. But during that time she also realized that her real calling was advertising. After graduating she interned at GSD&M as an account manager on the Capital One, Austin Parks Foundation and U.S. Air Force accounts.

‍

Professional Not-So-Humble Brags:

Kendyl acted as Account Director for her senior capstone class, leading a team that created a year-long campaign for nonprofit advocacy group SafeHorns. 

She served as the Director of the Longhorn Run Student Committee where she coordinated the registration of 5,644 participants, an over 20% increase in participation from previous years.

Most recently, she juggled projects on the two biggest accounts at GSD&M during her post-grad summer internship.

‍

Interesting Cocktail Party Tidbits:

She earned extra college cash as a kickboxing instructor. 

Kendyl compulsively crochets in her free time. She’s got you covered for all of your winter accessory needs.

She made it a rule to take one class every semester that had nothing to do with her major. Rhetoric of Time Travel, Tourism Photography, Globalization of Switzerland, and Dark Matter Physics, to name a few.

She is a biiiigg podcast fan. Her favorite? NPR’s Planet Money.

Best plot twist (so far):

Having a foot (and toothbrush) in both Dallas and Austin.
