Ilicia Winokur started her career in advertising back when fax machines were considered essential and has been helping create impactful work ever since. Over the years, she’s worked at agencies from the imperial-sized McCann NY, to the medium, independently-owned Wieden+Kennedy NY. There were also a few that no longer exist like Lowe&Partners/SMS. RIP. Along the way, Ilicia’s had the opportunity to provide creative vision and leadership for some of the industry’s largest and most recognizable brands, including LEGO, Nike, ESPN, and Avon. She was a lead writer on the renowned "This is SportsCenter" campaign and helped introduce the re-imagined LEGO Friends characters to the world. Her work has been recognized by Cannes, The One Show, D&AD, and Communication Arts. She even won "Best Sports Ad of the Year" once. When not writing commercials, Ilicia can usually be found writing other things. She has authored several great (according to Ilicia) never published works of fiction and is currently working on her third first novel. Consider yourself warned literary agents. Ilicia lives in West Hartford, Connecticut with her husband, three kids, and two horribly behaved rescue dogs, Honey and Mustard.
