Hellooo, my name is Cydney Lee. I'm a writer and journalist based in New York City, but I'm originally from the outskirts of Philly. I'm a two-time alumna of Syracuse University where I earned a bachelors in psychology and a masters in arts journalism and communications.
I currently work at ADWEEK as an advertising news reporter. My coverage includes everything from brand marketing and creative strategy to CMO appointments, agency news and more.
I also have experience in music/culture journalism. I previously worked at Billboard where I wrote digital and print stories on rap/R&B and helmed a weekly column. My writing has also appeared in W Magazine, GRAMMY.com, Pigeons & Planes, Entertainment Weekly, Vulture, Okayplayer, VICE, Yahoo and more.
