Melissa L. Pincus is a Manhattan-based copywriter with over 15 years of experience in writing copy and creating content for retail and advertising, and over 8 years of experience in managing people. She holds a B.F.A in Advertising Design from Syracuse University’s College of Visual & Performing Arts. While writing is Melissa’s passion, her design background has been a proven asset in understanding the creative process as a whole.

Melissa most recently put her writing, copyediting, and leadership skills to work as Copy Manager at Bed Bath & Beyond, where she oversaw the editorial copy teams for Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY. She previously worked in-house at One Kings Lane for nearly nine years and spent half of that time managing the e-commerce copy team. She has also worked full-time at Cline Davis & Mann, and at TBWA\Chiat\Day NY, where she wrote a nationally recognized, award-winning campaign for The Ad Council in partnership with the U.S. Olympic Committee. Additionally, Melissa spent the better part of the recession freelancing at a few ad agencies that all changed their names in the last ten years.

​When she's not glued to her laptop (and sometimes when she is), Melissa can usually be found listening to or playing music, enjoying a music or true crime podcast, keeping up with social media trends and pop culture, watching Jeopardy, reading nonfiction, taking pictures of old doors, playing field hockey, or going on absurdly long walks around the city.
