Joel is a copywriter/ACD at Eleven in San Francisco, previously at Pereira O’Dell, CP+B, and AKQA. He was last up on MC in Jan 2010, and since then has added all kinds of new work. Killer book then. Even killerer now. Definitely time for an update.

Brian is a writer at AKQA in San Francisco. You know what’s fun? Clicking through someone’s portfolio, and you see they’ve got a big Tony Stewart TV spot on there, one of TBS’ Funniest Commercials of 2010. That’s first. Then, you skip down to what’s last, in the Other Stuff section, and you find a headshot of Brian on socks and tighty whities, proudly gifted to and displayed by his family at holiday time. You just. I mean. You can’t beat that.

Joe is a senior copywriter in NYC. The first two pieces in his portfolio are self-created apps, Recco and Pee & Poo Save The World. About the latter, in Joe’s words: “It follows a pair of superhero …uhh… excrement in their epic quest to stop sinister aliens from abducting Earth’s baby animals.” Yes.

Justin is a copywriter/ACD at Publicis & Hal Riney in San Francisco. He just relaunched his site with a bunch of new work, and made it mobile-awesome. So now you can take Justin with you, wherever you go. How great is that? Great. NOTE: Commuters on 280 between 8:30 and 10am, don’t Justin and drive. Please. I’d hate for my blog to be the cause of my own demise. Thank you.

Keith is a senior copywriter at The Kaplan Thaler Group in NYC. This is what you get when you’re an interactive copywriter working at AKQA or Kaplan Thaler or one of those. You get yourself a custom portfolio site. Really like how simple it is to nav. You can jump around and see the whole thing in just a few minutes, which is rare for a portfolio full of interactive work. Nice.

Nathan is a copywriter at AKQA NY. I learn something from almost every portfolio site I visit. From Nathan’s, I learned exactly what I’m going to do in about 10 years, when my daughter starts dating. (Portfolio: TV/Radio: first spot) Thank you, Nathan.

Lori is a senior copywriter/ACD in San Francisco, formerly at AKQA, GS&P and W+K. She’s got a bunch of cool interactive work on her site that was done recently, so I apologize for featuring the old milk board above. (Couldn’t help myself.) How about Lori’s site? And old-school Blogger simply titled BOOK. Who needs a fancy site when you have fancy work?

Mandy is a copywriter at Goodby in San Francisco. She shares a site with art director/husband Aaron Dietz. Their site broken out into channels: DietzTV, Work, Picmap, News, Haircuts (including the photo above), etc. The Work page is a series of non-active thumbnails, plus a link to an article about Mandy and Aaron. So interesting!

Ellen is a copywriter at Deep Focus NYC, previously at AKQA. Being the Janet Champ fan I am, I’m always interested in the evolution of Nike Women. Ellen has a Nike Women Asia campaign in her book that’s pretty huge. Lots of other cool stuff for Nike, Xbox and Visa, too.

Rebecca is a copywriter/ACD at AKQA NYC. Her site is super quirky fun. (Totally stole my theme song, BTW.) A little taste from her self-description: “West Virginia native but I still have most of my teeth. I’m allergic to cats, in need of a tan, and teach Easy Bake Oven cooking classes in my free time. (Very tiny meatloaves).” Want one! Don’t leave without checking out her Weird Fun page. It’s weird. And fun.

Luke is a copywriter at Razorfish in NYC, AKQA before that. His portfolio is a blast to poke around and explore. On top of page two is a site for Benjamin Moore that’s described like this: “What is the color of Rock n’ Roll? What is the color of passion? Of power? Of sound? Discover how others view color and express your own.”

Justin is a copywriter/ACD at Publicis & Hal Riney. He’s got nine projects in his book, and they range from a killer site for Riney (breakthrough nav) to branded content/film Unflinching Triumph, directed by Mark Decena.

Joel is a senior copywriter at Pereira & O’Dell in San Francisco, CP+B and AKQA before that. On his site, right under his name, are the words Integrated Creative. It’s no joke. Give yourself some time to go through this one. Almost every piece is an experience, and they’re all just sick.

Gilberto is a copywriter at AKQA in SF. Before that, he was at Carmichael Lynch in Minneapolis, where he wrote four spots in the Jack’s Links “Messin’ With Sasquatch” campaign, with CD Brock Davis, of which I’m a huge fan. (Both of the campaign and Brock.) For four years into the biz, this is a killer portfolio.

Steven is a Senior Copywriter at AKQA in San Francisco. He’s got a great online portfolio. Sometimes you look at a book and you can just tell that the copywriter loves what he/she does for a living. Loves writing. Loves big ideas. That’s Steven. Steven has fun. When I go through Steven’s site, so do I.
