Lydia Abend

As an Associate Creative Director, Lydia helps our clients achieve their goals through some of her greatest passions: spirited collaboration, human psychology, and producing work that makes someone say ‘I wish I’d thought of that.’ Before joining Drake Cooper, Lydia spent time at agencies including DigitasLBi, Hill Holliday, Jack Morton, and Purpose NYC. Most recently, she was in-house with Constant Contact where she fulfilled her dream of writing a human-sized pickle into a national TV spot (among other things). Lydia lives in Boston, MA with her dog Roger. And yes, he’s named after Roger Federer.
