Dan is a senior copywriter at Leo Burnett Chicago. If you ever want to know anything about Kellogg’s Raisin Bran Crunch, Dan is your guy. Check out his print campaign for Econo Lodge. One of the best things a writer can do for a brand is help it be honestly self-depricating. Nice.

Todd is a copywriter/acd/vp at RPA in LA. His book is loaded with awesome work for Honda–one of MC’s secret fave car brands. Todd is an alum of Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade, yet again proving MC’s theory that comedians, drummers and surfers make fabulous copywriters. Maybe we should add categories for those in the sidebar. Hmm.

Victoria is a junior copywriter in Athens, Greece. In addition to her Cargo portfolio, she’s put together something she calls the The Walking Portfolio. You walk through her portfolio on Vimeo, Flickr, WordPress, Tumblr, and we’ll let you discover the rest for yourself. NOTE: After viewing a piece of her portfolio, look for a link to the next one below it. (Took MC a minute to figure out.) Cool idea.

Upon graduating from MAS, Nate took a summer internship at Fallon in Minneapolis. That’s a good time of year to take an internship in Minneapolis. Check out URBAN PACMAN. Gets MC just a smidge excited about the idea of exercise. Just a smidge.

One of the things Miami Ad School does consistently awesome is help students create books that are exactly what the industry needs right now. Will’s site and the work in it are a great example of that. Digital, social, interactive, idea and consumer-centric. No surprise he’s already landed a gig at RGA.

Max shares his site with creative partner Max Gebhardt. Together, they are Max and Max, ”an interactive / conceptual creative team, half swedish, half german.” Their site is beautiful. Love the screened back images with type on rollover. Tasty.

A big thanks to Brian Alexander for helping to organize Miami Ad School Week on MC. It’s awesome seeing what the kids bring to the biz every year, and a big part of that is MAS. Tip ‘o the Hat.

Joel is a junior copywriter at TracyLocke in Dallas. First job, brand new, good times. MC always loves seeing what student books land what students where. Also love seeing a CW’s vacation photos, and Joel’s site features an excellent selection.

Kathleen is a copywriter/ACD at DDB Chicago. Someday, MC is going to move to Chicago just to see what a real TV commercial budget feels like. We’re guessing pretty nice. Great to see some Chicago sites starting to come MC’s way.

Michael is an American copywriter, raised in Minnesota, schooled in Reno, now freelancing in Portugal, but most of the work on his site was done in Warsaw in a language Michael can barely speak. What does that look like? Here’s your chance to find out.

Larry is a copywriter/CD at BBDO NY, after four years at GS&P and three years at CP+B. Every once in a while, MC posts a site that just flat-out makes us jealous. This would be one of those.

Dennis Lee, art director/ACD at Wongdoody, checks in with a new blog called ADdendum 101, featuring lessons and advice about the ad industry for recent grads. Some good stuff for those of us who aren’t so recent, too.
