Hey, I’m Burk Smyth.
That’s me, on the right, in the picture. On the left is my twin brother, Taylor.
I’m a copywriter based in Baltimore, working at Jellyfish. I’ve spent much of my time here working on PlayStation Esports account, on everything from social copywriting and scripts to ideation, social analytics, creative production, and YouTube management. I was the highlight producer for our wonderful Evo Lounge show.
I’ve also worked on search, social and CRM copy for Spotify, BISSELL and Camping World, written countless blogs for HOKA, Sanuk, and Teva, and created ads for Google using AI.
I am a (vaguely in recovery) sneakerhead and horrific music nerd (want to talk about kpop and/or black metal? I’m here.) I also play video games, believe it or not.
I need to update my book to reflect my PlayStation work. That said, if you see an Apex Legends GG Guide on YouTube or any tournament related tweet on @PlayStation, that’s me.
If you want to play Super Smash Brother Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube or if you need me for uh, paid services, hit me up: burksmyth@gmail.com
I’m also in a bunch of other places on the internet:
