Alan Snider

Alan is a senior copywriter at Avenue in Chicago and a student at Second City Training Center. If MC could start MC over, there’d be a tag for copywriters who’ve had experience with Second City—and it would probably be one of the more popular tags. So many great copywriters have stand-up and comedy writing experience, which makes so much sense.

He also writes for The 3% Conference, which aims to bring awareness to the gender gap in advertising creative leadership (only 3% of all creative directors are female) and help do something about it. Dig that.

Meg is a copywriter intern at Allen & Gerritsen in Philadelphia, after graduating from Ringling School of Art & Design in Sarasota, Florida. Her site’s home page features GIFs instead of stills for most projects, which is super fun. Hover over the GIF, and the name of the project/brand appears.

Elliot is a copywriter at Sukle Advertising & Design in Denver. His site was submitted to MC by art director Allie Nordstrom, who also happens to be his wife (rad, big ups, Allie!). Don’t miss his campaign for Man Therapy, featuring Dr. Rich Mahogany, which aims to put an end to the stigma of men and mental health. The name alone is reason enough to watch. Nice.
