Me

Ben McCoy is a Creative Copywriter based in New York City who enjoys messing with Adobe, eating weird food, and singing classical music.

Oh, and writing.

Non-Advertising Cool Things

Fallout: London
Turning an eye to England with the beloved Fallout franchise. This international team has worked for years to bring a fresh take to this nuked-out landscape. I’ve been aboard for nearly 2.5 years. During that time, I’ve crafted dozens of quests, dialogue trees, and characters (like the Dickensian child thief and rascal, Archie).

Carnegie Hall
Since winter of 2017, I’ve performed at Carnegie Hall with The Cecilia Chorus of New York twice every year (minus the pesky pandemic canceling a few concerts). During that time I’ve premiered over a dozen works, performed some of the most well-known pieces in the classical canon, and brought painfully lesser-known pieces into the limelight they deserved.
I’ve also helped the chorus in other ways, like serving as the Publicity and Marketing Chair for 4 years and acted as the Tenor Section leader.

Unxigned
For the past several years, I’ve been a Sr. Editor on the music blog, Unixgned. Reviewing works by some of the world’s most audacious emerging musical talent and bringing their sound to a global audience is so amazing. And I get to hear their music before 99.9% of the world does!
