Copywriter
with Neil Kimball
Thanks to her work writing animated cartoons, Lila has a long history of collaborating with companies to create franchise and product-driven content. She has worked with toy companies such as Mattel, Spin Master, and LEGO to name a few. She has written content in a range of formats and lengths, including a series of 3-minute shorts for LEGO’s Hidden Side toy line and highlighting the product’s AR elements by incorporating it into the story. You can check the shorts out here.
Neil also has extensive experience working and writing in the world of toys and games. He has worked at Mattel and most recently at the tabletop board game company AEG (Alderac Entertainment Group) where he published his game Sheepy Time and worked as a Game Developer for Whirling Witchcraft, Wormholes, and Waffle Time. He has written copy for board game boxes, rulebooks, and marketing materials and has an eagle eye for proofreading, spelling and grammar (which is what also makes him such a force in Scrabble!).
With their powers combined, Lila and Neil can bring a pithy sense of whimsy and humor to your next ad campaign!

Lila Fun Facts!
Lila and Neil are pet-parents to a one-eyed rabbit, Captain Maddi, who hates people. Unless you have some apple slices to give her. Then she’ll come running!
Lila is growing a tree from the pit of a random avocado she ate in November 2023. She named the tree Avoclaudo and he is currently just shy of two feet tall.
Neil Fun Facts!
Neil was a fierce competitor at the Game of Thrones Card Game. He got Top 8 at the World Championships multiple times!
As a child, Neil moved to Atlanta, GA but refused to pick up a Southern accent. It mostly worked, except when he says the word “melk.”
