Kendyl Loper

Backstory:

Kendyl grew up in Dallas a stone’s throw from the Plot Twist office. She channeled her love of storytelling, people and economics into pursuing a PR degree at UT Austin, where she worked as an account manager for Texas Tower PR, a student-run PR agency, planning the annual Longhorn Run 5k/10k and attending many, many concerts. But during that time she also realized that her real calling was advertising. After graduating she interned at GSD&M as an account manager on the Capital One, Austin Parks Foundation and U.S. Air Force accounts.

‍

Professional Not-So-Humble Brags:

Kendyl acted as Account Director for her senior capstone class, leading a team that created a year-long campaign for nonprofit advocacy group SafeHorns. 

She served as the Director of the Longhorn Run Student Committee where she coordinated the registration of 5,644 participants, an over 20% increase in participation from previous years.

Most recently, she juggled projects on the two biggest accounts at GSD&M during her post-grad summer internship.

In 2025, she was named as one of Ad2Dallas' 32Under32 honorees.

‍

Interesting Cocktail Party Tidbits:

She earned extra college cash as a kickboxing instructor. 

Kendyl compulsively crochets in her free time. She’s got you covered for all of your winter accessory needs.

She made it a rule to take one class every semester that had nothing to do with her major. Rhetoric of Time Travel, Tourism Photography, Globalization of Switzerland, and Dark Matter Physics, to name a few.

She is a biiiigg podcast fan. Her favorite? NPR’s Planet Money.

Kendyl loves all live music of all kinds. Last year, she went to 36 concerts.  

She recently started bouldering at her local climbing gym. Haven't looked down since.

Best plot twist (so far):

Terrified of needles. Works on a hospital brand.
