Download Apps Not Traps.
- Can you tell an app from a trap? Google Play can. Go Play.
- As an intern at DAVID Miami, I got the opportunity to write social media copy and short scripts for Google Play's new "Download Apps Not Traps" campaign that highlights the safety and security features Google Play offers. Special thanks to my CD Sarah for all her guidance and help during the process.

Sweat and odor defense is the best offense.
-
Let’s sponsor the armpits of one of the best offensive players in the NBA: Kevin Durant, with Dove Men+Care deodorant to make defender’s lives easier.
And we’ll break the news to the world in a postgame press conference, where one of our journalists will ask NBA defenders the real question…
"And how did Kevin’s deodorant smell throughout the game?"

#1 Beauty Brand
- I have written paid and organic social media posts for Natura, a skincare brand from Brazil entering the U.S. market.

Gen Z has an irrational fear of phone calls.
- Idea: SPK collabs with an influencer to give Gen Z a call on Halloween. Those who pick up will get a sweet reward, and those who don’t will be left with a sour voicemail letting them know they missed out on something great.

A Sunset is a Sunset.
-
Javi and I embarked on many proactive journeys, and it all began when we realized the only thing a sunset needs to be enjoyed is the right state of mind... and a Corona.

A legal loophole to protect vital seagrass.
-
You know what they say: another day, another opportunity for Corona to raise awareness about the importance of seagrass by turning it into art so it can't be destroyed due to a legal loophole that protects public works of art.

The coffee pod to end vape pods.
- Insight: It's hard to quit nicotine as it is, and harder when you're a coffee drinker - the majority of adults.
- Idea: Nespresso launches nicotine-infused coffee pods to help smokers quit and still enjoy a timeless ritual.

Hey, I'm Eli
I studied marketing in undergrad but found my passion in copywriting, where I try to communicate big ideas and brand initiatives in a few words. I just wrapped up my masters and currently intern at DAVID Miami, trying to prove this stuff I’m saying is true.
I also am a die-hard fan of Dallas sports teams, Breaking Bad, and the philosophy of hip-hop.
Cool Stuff
Thanks to Elena Castro and Ida Ekuban for letting me develop my voiceover and acting skills in their campaigns … still a work in progress but we’re getting somewhere!
Song of Myself Dialogue - 2018
I write in few words now… but this was the past… and Walt Whitman, an absolute OG, helped advance my writing skills in high school. This is from my junior year, when I started getting comfortable with asking more questions and finding fewer answers. Check it out here
Dance with the Devil Existential Analysis - 2018
The first piece of writing I worked on OT. I took a chance in arguing the cyclic nature of the human being through Hip-Hop and Greek Tragedy, but it helped me learn and explore new ways of thinking. Shoutout Mr. J, thanks for letting me go off script. Check it out here
Creative Prompts - 2023
What is your Guilty Pleasure?” and “What Can Happen in a Second?” are two amazing prompts I encountered when applying to FIU/Miami Ad School. For the former, I discuss my passion for hip-hop, and in the latter, I explain how my entire undergrad experience happened in a second. Check them out here
