Hi, I’m Eli.
I’m a versatile, award-winning writer and creative director. I’ve led strategic, fully-integrated campaigns for Amtrak, Arcadia, JetBlue, Brookfield, and many more. I’m fun to work with and I sweat the details.
I’m a longtime contributor to The New Yorker, a former staff writer for The Tonight Show, and I’m the senior copywriter for my diary.
Scroll down for my best stuff.
