CW Wanted: TracyLocke Dallas

 

Robin Marco, Creative Recruiter at TracyLocke Dallas, is looking for a mind-blowing copywriter. From Robin: “We could throw a whole bunch of clichés at you right now: maverick, nonconformist, fresh thinker. But let’s be honest. What we’re looking for is a bit of a character. Your ideas are hilarious, your personal interests are unorthodox, and your jokes can sometimes scare account executives. Ideal candidates will have agency experience (in advertising years). If your book makes us “wish we’d thought of that,” we don’t care what your resume says. Our group is a close-knit, motley crew, so tough skin is important. We’re looking for a perfectionist and a risk taker. You are an exciting and passionate person who got into advertising because you love it. Whether you are just out of school or have 15 years in the business, you should have a fire in your belly – a forest fire.”

Mike Fisher

Mike is a copywriter/CD in Dallas. He spent a serious chunk of time at The Richards Group (12 years), and his Behance portfolio is full of all kinds of Home Depot work—including the above billboard that hung at Texas Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, owned by Jerry Jones. MC is neutral in all matters, and respects all 50 states, including Texas which is home to more than one great city and many, many awesome, creative people. But there’s no denying it. There’s only one Texas.

CW Wanted: Launch

Diane Seimetz, Principal/Brand Insights at Launch in Carrollton, Texas, is looking for a writer. From Diane, “We are mega-agency refugees who decided if we were going to work for lunatics, they might as well be us. Our culture is creative-centric (kismet: two of the three principals are, indeed, creative people), smart, with a generous helping of “alecky” thrown in. As a boutique, we have been able to attract like minded mega-agency client refugees who wanted more big ideas with fewer layers. Our resulting collection of accounts are amazing and amazingly varied; they range, literally, from brass bands to Bentleys. Does that sound fun, or what.

We are looking for a special person who happens to double as a great writer.  Maybe ‘great conceptual person with impeccable taste’ might be a better articulation. You think in ideas and campaigns. You’re a collaborator, your ideas runneth over, you have a strong work ethic, you want to impact the companies you create for, and dream of having an entire agency helping you sell your work (versus, say, killing it before it leaves the building). You’ve got award-winning TV and radio, cackle-producing print, ingenious out of home, intriguing interactive. You are selfish about building your book. Every brief is an opportunity waiting to happen. If any of the aforementioned resonates with you (er, you all…this is Texas), that could be a sign. Please forward your resume, salary requirement (puleeze), and digital renditions of your portfolio as soon as humanly possible.”

Jordan Dontos

Jordan is a senior copywriter at TM in Dallas. On his site is a series of posters welcoming IT Specialists to a server convention in Las Vegas. No visuals. No budget. Just words and a drop of type design. That, my friends, is copywriting.

Craig Cooper

Craig is a freelance copywriter/CD in Dallas and part of Giant Noodle. Before going freelance, he was ECD/Managing Partner of DDB Dallas, EVP/CD at Flavour, and SVP/ECD at BBDO Toronto. Craig’s site is in-the-making, so you may find an unfinished corner here or a locked door there. And you have to register to view his resumé. But no worries, it’s deep enough to go exploring as is, and I’ve already given you the gist of the rez. To me, someone who hasn’t ventured into the ECD/SVP/MP acronyms yet, one of the coolest things about the site is that you see CD Craig as much as you see CW Craig. He calls out exactly what his role was on each project. Love that.
