CWs Wanted: SandersWingo

Shanteka Sigers, SVP/ECD at SandersWingo in Austin (and friend of MC), is looking for copywriters. From Shanteka: “SandersWingo was founded by David Sanders, a copywriter. He once got a 92-second radio spot on the air. He went on daily two-hour hikes and ate whole grains in the ’80s. Most people ate cocaine for breakfast in the ’80s. And most importantly, David Sanders taught that our job is to make things happen right now. I need copywriters in Austin and El Paso. All levels. You’ll work on big brands like AT&T, Burger King and MINI. You’ll work on small brands like Run For The Water, El Paso Electric and the District Attorney of El Paso. The DA let us create an award-winning domestic violence brochure hidden inside a lipstick case, and feng shui his waiting area. I’m looking for some swashbuckling, enterprising, David Sanders-esque copywriters that want to make things happen. Healthy diet optional.” Interested? Contact Shanketa at the address below.

VCU Brandcenter Week 2013 – Andrew Kong

So hard to pick which VCU CW grad portfolios to feature during VCU Brandcenter Week! They’ve all got something special about them. Don’t miss Andrew’s Botot radio (the world’s first toothpaste, created for King Louis XV, who knew?), and Shun Cutlery campaign (Honor Haiku, funny). Nice to see some creativity in brand/client selection. Good times.

VCU Brandcenter Week 2013 – Kai Neddersen

VCU Brandcenter Week! Love it. And Kai is a perfect start to the week. He was an intern copywriter at inHouse, Target’s fabulous internal creative department, back in 2010, when MC was a Creative Manager there. Kai could have probably gone right from that internship into a job, but instead decided that he wanted to learn more. He didn’t just want a good first job, he wanted a great first job, and he recognized that what he needed to get it was, well, VCU. Now, couple of years later, here he is, graduating from VCU, and that’s crazy awesome. Congrats, Kai!

Richard Tseng

Rich is a copywriter in Boston, formerly at Arnold. Actually, he was recently let go by Arnold, which would be a bummer for anyone. However, Rich took the opportunity to write his colleagues a good-bye email that is, in his words, “at least as good as any of the other stuff I wrote while I was there.” Check out his email on AgencySpy here. Or check out his other stuff by clicking on the link below.

CW Wanted: 360i

Elinna Vega, Creative Recruiter at 360i in NYC, is looking for a copywriter. From Elinna: “360i is looking for writers because I’m not one. We love writers who tell stories and not the ones that begin with ‘once upon a time’. We strive for original, ground breaking, industry elevating, brand heightening, multi-platform stories/ideas (i.e.: Bacon Barter, Daily Oreo Twist). We encourage and solicit ideas from all levels of our creatives and we move fast – break neck speed fast. If you have stories to tell, come share them and get work produced for some of the world’s largest brands. Plus, we have free-flowing caffeine (in all its forms) and beer!” Wait. Beer???

Send portfolio links to Elinna.vega@360i.com

CW Wanted: Walrus NYC

Deacon Webster, Chief Creative Officer at Walrus NYC, is looking for a CW. From Deacon: “Walrus is looking for a copywriter with 4+ years experience. We’re looking for someone that’s smart, has sense of humor, works hard and has a strong writing ability. Opportunities abound. You’ll have a chance to touch lots of different types of projects in lots of different media and sell good work.” If you haven’t checked out Walrus, click on their logo above. They’re rad. Killer gig for the right CW.

Helena Heras

Helena is a new copywriter in NYC, having recently graduated from Miami Ad School in March. (Site submitted by Dhruv Nanda, big ups.) Being a great copywriter means coming up with great ideas. Check out Helena’s app Safe & Sound, which tells you the safest walking route home according to crime reports, open stores and people’s reviews. Why doesn’t that exist already? Or her Radiohead Lights app, which gives concertgoers access to other concertgoers’ smartphone video, so everyone can edit multi-camera music videos. Yes, please.
