Kielan Oday on the steps of High Point University on graduation day

Graduate of High Point University with a B.A. in Strategic Communications, Advertising, and Public Relations and a minor in Social Media Marketing.

I'm a social strategist, content marketer, and creative specializing in luxury, lifestyle, beauty, wellness, and hospitality brands through elevated storytelling, short-form content, branding, and digital strategy. Most recently, I served as Creative Director at Rogue Wave Creative, leading creative direction, content production, and social strategy for client campaigns across beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and hospitality brands , and I'm currently open to new opportunities.

After graduating from High Point University, I also served as Content & Visibility Assistant for Clandestine Events + Experiences, where I managed social media, content strategy, and digital visibility for a boutique experiential agency producing activations and events for brands including the NBA, Formula One, Gainbridge, and Westcor Title Insurance. I developed content calendars, executed social campaigns, and helped bring a bold, high-energy brand voice to life across digital platforms.

While at High Point University, I was a member of HYPE Agency for two years (2023–2025), the university's fully student-run creative agency, and served as Director of HYPE in Spring 2025. Leading a team of more than 60 students and overseeing campaigns for 17 clients, I gained hands-on experience in leadership, client management, campaign execution, branding, and creative strategy across industries including sports, hospitality, entertainment, and retail.

Beyond these roles, I have built experience through internships and freelance partnerships across fashion, lifestyle, wellness, art, real estate, hospitality, and interior design. Working across both agency and entrepreneurial environments has strengthened my ability to adapt strategies for diverse audiences while combining creativity with analytics-driven marketing and storytelling.

Born and raised on the Jersey Shore, I bring a strong competitive mindset, adaptability, and work ethic into everything I do. As a former three-sport athlete, I developed resilience, collaboration, and leadership skills that continue to shape my approach professionally. I am also passionate about photography, creative direction, and travel, constantly seeking new perspectives that inspire my work.

I am currently seeking full-time opportunities in marketing, branding, social media, creative strategy, and experiential marketing where I can continue building impactful brands through innovative storytelling, strategic thinking, and results-driven creativity.

What people say.

I can't say enough about how helpful Kielan has been with my social media postings and presentations for retail stores. Kielan created beautiful brochures and catalogs for my artwork. Her polished presentations for retail outlets and projects were top notch. She was very skilled in Canva, always available when I needed her, and her work generated many opportunities for me. Kielan is a true professional and working with her was not only a pleasure but resulted in a significant increase in sales.

If you're looking for someone to run your social media with strategy, consistency, and actual personality (not the cookie-cutter stuff), I can't recommend Kielan enough. She's been the best social media partner I've had, smart, reliable, and able to capture voice in a way that feels human, not canned.

Kielan interned for my brand, Drip Accessory, during her senior year of college and continued working with me for a couple of months after graduation. From the start, she showed initiative and impressed me with her professionalism and creativity. She produced high-quality photo assets of my products that I continue to use today. Kielan also organized and executed photoshoots, keeping everything clear and accessible in well-organized folders. She was instrumental in setting up my TikTok shop, taking on tasks with enthusiasm and efficiency. Beyond her skills, Kielan is a true go-getter with a great personality. She would be an asset to any team, and I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Kiel has been a huge factor in bringing my marketing vision to life. She brings her own ideas as well as builds off of mine. Her work has built off of my existing branding and not only fits seamlessly, but has helped me enhance it. Without Kiel, we would probably still be talking about a reel we were supposed to post last season; now, we can bring content and concepts to our audience within days.
