Dave Carlson

Dave is a copywriter in Los Angeles. The first item in his portfolio is Inspiration Trip: “In 2011, my wife and I left Los Angeles with a one-way ticket to Istanbul and traveled the world. We were gone for 264 nights and slept in 72 different beds.” (Beds above.) Dave’s back in L.A., currently freelancing at Mistress. MC’s #1 2013 resolution: some kind of Inspiration Trip. Even it’s 2 nights instead of 264.

CW Wanted: Exit10

This is awesome. Eric Hartsock of Exit10 in Baltimore is looking for a copywriter. This was the entirety of his note to MC: “We need a copywriter. Not going to tell you how to get the job, you’re just going to have to figure it out. Exit10.” Love it.

Elizabeth King

Elizabeth is a senior copywriter at Kirshenbaum NYC. She’s got a ton of killer stuff for BMW up on her site, plus De Beers, Starz, Smirnoff, Wendy’s, awesome. From her Elizabeth King • Copywriter page: “Advertising is not for those who like things winded. Long copy is dead. We’re no longer writers, we’re thinkers, right?” Hmm, wonders MC. Writers = thinkers. Maybe there just aren’t any readers left?

Chris Gilbert

Chris will be graduating from Art Center College of Design this Saturday, December 15th. (His site was submitted by fellow student Brenton Covington—thanks, Brenton.) First, a huge congrats to Chris from MC on graduating. Love it. Second, it’s not often that Art Center College of Design graduates a copywriter, which makes his site even more interesting to check out. Again, love it.

Matei Curtasu

Matei is a 23-year-old Romanian digital writer (recent graduate of Miami Ad School Hamburg) currently in NYC. His site is organized by year, so it’s easy to nav through his student work, and then what he did during internships at Saatchi Moscow and BBDO NYC. It’s interesting—to see what’s in a graduating digital writer’s portfolio at the end of 2012. While most of it is digital or based on digital concepts, a lot of the work is non-digital. Makes you wonder, where’s the line? Will there be such a thing as a digital writer in Dec 2013 or 2014? Or will we all just be writers again? Hmm.
