Jason Rappaport

Jason is a copywriter/ACD/VP at McCann in Los Angeles. MC saved this one special for the holiday, because it’s deep (22 projects) and fun. Think of it as an excuse for getting away from the fam for a little breather. “Going to go down to the basement for a few, Uncle Herm. Got to check out this big portfolio site.” Don’t forget to grab a bottle of something on your way down. And a turkey leg.

Jason Siciliano

MC is two years old this month. To celebrate, I’m doing something I’ve never done before. I’m posting my own site. Which is both exciting and terrifying. To everyone who’s sent a link to MC over the past two years, the CWs, friends of CWs, schools, students, CDs, ADs, spouses, and that one Mom, thank you. It’s been a blast. Let’s keep it going.

CWs Wanted: Barkley

Theresa Thornhill, recruiter at Barkley in Kansas City, is on the hunt for CWs. From Theresa, “Barkley is the largest employee-owned advertising agency in the US. Ownership has its advantages. So if you’re looking to work with people who have skin in the game, we might be a pretty good fit. We’re looking for a conceptual, collaborative thinker who’s able to put big ideas on paper. Your book is filled with big ideas presented in a simple, direct format. Your style is undetectable because you take a fresh approach for every brand and every assignment you take on. You’re comfortable (and good at) writing short copy and headlines…short and to the point.” Send your link and rez to Theresa at the email below:

BONUS: Barkley’s also looking for an ACD/CD-level freelance team to potentially go full-time.

CWs Wanted: Boston

Joanne Modica, an independent recruiter in Boston, checks in with a couple of CW positions at a Boston agency that’s willing to relocate. From Joanne: “Small, dynamic creative shop in Boston is in need of two CWs. Must have a killer conceptual portfolio and be ready to jump in with great ideas on day one. The agency has done award-winning work and is poised for new very-high profile client wins. Very collaborative working atmosphere and the CD is focused on mentoring his people, so there’s no waiting for the top guy to see your stuff. Great growth potential and opportunity to work on every kind of media. Be a big fish!” Send rez (in Word) and $$$ requirements to Joanne at the email below.

Caroline Chen

Caroline is a digitally-inclined copywriter/designer at Denuo in Chicago. It could be an old-school thing, but whenever MC sees a portfolio that lists someone as a writer/designer, we hold our breath. Caroline is the real deal though. Plus, she’s got the digital thing. Can someone say “extremely marketable in the current industry environment”? MC can.

Jessi Hamilton

Jessi is a senior copywriter at Kuhn & Wittenborn Advertising in Kansas City. Explore her site and the links on it, and you’ll find about 50% copywriting and 50% other writing: blogs, poetry, posters, etc. Which makes sense, seeing as how she started life as a magazine writer/editor. Copywriters come from everywhere. MC likes that.
