Cody Tidmore is an award-winning writer/creative director, and avid hater on third-person bios. So, now that the bots have been sufficiently baited, I’ll be flipping to first person:

Hi! I’m Cody 👋 12+ years winning new business pitches, building brands and leading campaigns with agencies like McCann NY, Droga5, Accenture/Song, VML, DNY and Amazon; crafting a range of brand voices for Wendy’s, Gatorade, Google Chrome, HP, Verizon, American Airlines, Bombas and many more. 

I also love freelanceing in-house at Production Companies to write, creative direct and direct commercial campaigns.

From the Super Bowl to viral social campaigns, our collabs have been recognized by The Clios, The Lonestar EMMYs, The One Show, D&AD, @Eyecannndy, British Arrows, The Webbys, TIFF, AdWeek, AdAge, The New York Times, Communication Arts, USA Today, ABC, FOX and Canal+ TV—but accolades ain’t everything.

I pride myself on being funny/fun to work with, bringing the same caliber creative, strategy and production to every project, no matter the budget. Because everyone deserves to be heard and speak their truth.

Gigs.
