Alejandro is a copywriter/CD at DDB Barcelona. He leads the Audi team there and his site is filled with awesome work for the brand, and some other cool stuff like the above ad for Via Uno shoes. Love it.

Chris Jacobs
Chris is a copywriter at Arnold, previously at Butler Shine and W+K. About the above ad, Chris writes: “Our campaign for Old Spice Hair & Body Wash pioneered the quasi-science of Hairchetypology. The print work reveals the known hairchetypes, while the online work encourages users to discover their own hair/body profile and what it says about them.” Name a better job than copywriter. Dare you.

Derek Bishop
Derek is a copywriter at JWT in NYC. Don’t misses: Rapidograph, Schick and Filene’s Basement. Found this awesomeness on the bottom of his rez page: “I grew up in a trailer in Missouri. Now I live in Park Slope. Whew…that was close.”

Jenne Raub
Jenne is a freelance copywriter in NYC, formerly at McCann and Lowe. Her site was built with Indexhibit, which is my other favorite customizable pre-formatted site thing (in addition to Cargo). She’s got a lot of content on her site, including a Photography section and a page called Musicals and Movies I Should Write. Dig it.

Jenn Shreve
Jenn is a copywriter/ACD at Razorfish in NYC. She’s also a writer-writer. From her site: “Jenn has published articles in I.D., ReadyMade, Salon, Slate, and Wired, as well as several anthologies. She has also published short stories in Seed and Adbusters, and is the author of two books and a planner.” A copywriter who actually gets her on-the-side writing published. For reals. Tip o’ the hat, Jenn.

MC Faves Week 2 – Lawson Clarke
Can’t have an MC Faves category without featuring Lawson’s site: Male Copywriter. It’s a copywriter portfolio site that actually went viral.

MC Faves Week 2 – Janet Champ
MC Faves Week 2 – Shane Hutton
1. Discovery, “Holy crap. Shane’s portfolio is awesome.” 2. Jealousy, “I wish that spot was on MY reel.” 3. Self-doubt, “I am an average writer.” 4. Copywriting, “Oh, yeah? I’ll show them.”

MC Faves Week 2 – Evan Fry
Evan’s site is an MC Fave for one reason: what’s in it. Start clicking through his portfolio and you’ll see what I’m talking about. It’s just like, “Oh that Twelpforce thing. And that Spike Jonze GAP spot. And that Victors & Spoils agency. And that …”

MC Faves Week 2 – Wade Paschall
There are two things MC especially likes about Wade’s site. First, the CW/CD split org. So simple. Second, the writing in his Print as Writer section (hover over arrow in upper right hand corner of homepage to reveal nav). Beautiful.

Mike Pierantozzi

Jeff Kerrin
Jeff is a freelance copywriter in San Francisco. Name a good agency in SF, chances are Jeff has written for them over the past 10+ years. So, asks you, what does it take to be a successful freelance writer in SF for that long? Three things. One, a bionic brain. Two, nice person. Three, I don’t know number three. If I knew, I’d be a freelance copywriter in SF like Jeff.

Serena Connelly
Serena is a copywriter/CD at Strawberry Frog in NYC. Love how her portfolio is organized. Digital, Analog, Shiny Prizes, and Resume. Digital is broken out into Branding, Campaigns, Site Redesign, and Interactive Flare. Analog represents the first 10 years of her career on the traditional side, and is broken out into Print and TV. Put it all together, just awesome.

Jay Zasa
Jay is a copywriter/ECD at The Barbarian Group, formerly at R/GA. What a crazy cool variety of projects on his site. Pepsi’s Dear Mr. President, R/GA Little Red Books, The Verizon Beatbox Mixer … and not a single print campaign.

Michael Bettendorf
Michael is a freelance copywriter/CD in San Francisco. So, what do you do if you’ve been a SVP/GCD at McCann for awhile, and most everyone in town knows you’re awesome, and you’ve got a ton of work to show, but instead of showing it on your site you decide to make people laugh? Well, you do this:

James Cross
James is a copywriter at McCann in Birmingham, UK. He shares a site with art director Tim Jones. They’ve taught me a new word. “Hippo-Croc-A-Pig.” Had to Google it. It means … well, I’ll let you Google it for yourself. Love having the UK on MC.

Ricardo Wolff
Ricardo is a copywriter at AlmapBBDO in São Paulo. He shares a site with AD Gabriel Mattar. Do they get away with a little more than we do here in the States? Maybe. Maybe just a little more.
