Pete is a copywriter at Newell Brands in NYC, before that Macy’s. His book is mostly a mix of spec projects (always fun to see), including work for Whole Foods, Citi Bike, Squarespace, Snyder’s, GNC, and Cartoon Network (above). He’s also got separate pages dedicated to digital writing and personal projects—the latter focused on Walt Disney World, of which Pete is a huge fan. (As is MC.) “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.” – Mary Poppins.

Andrew is a copywriter at Publicis Seattle. All kinds of cool projects for T-Mobile on his site. Also, don’t miss “One Night” for the iPhone 7 launch. “To highlight the iPhone’s new low-light camera, we commissioned 22 everyday iPhone users across 6 continents to capture one single night on Earth from dusk to dawn.” Beautiful.

Sarah is a copywriter/CD at McGarrah Jessee in Austin. Since her last post on MC (back on 10.29.14), she’s been busy. Whole bunch of new work up on her site, including videos for SkinnyPop (love the kick-Roomba vid), print for Yeti coolers (killer lines), and “Alexa, Apologize” (above), which is oh so timely at this particular moment. Love it.

Steve is an art director/writer/designer/CD in St. Louis. All kinds of cool projects on his site—including NASCAR (above). Love his “the me” page, too, including his description of what we do for a living and Menards Home Improvement stores: “For fun I carve out spaces in people’s heads for widgets and services in an over-crowded, post-need, first-world-problem marketplace. Just kidding. For real fun I shop at Menards. The answer to a question nobody asked. What if Cracker Barrel and Home Depot had a love child?” Nailed it.

Grant is a freelance copywriter/CD in NYC. His portfolio was one of the first posted on MC way back on 12.16.09, almost 10 years ago (how has it been that long?). It was amazing then—and even more amazing now. His site is one long page of killer projects including New York Lotto, FedEx, BBC World, Toyota, AT&T, Red Stripe (classic), Monster, Mountain Dew, Footlocker, Fox Sports, Guinness, and Vonage (above). Stoked to have Grant back up on MC.

Seth is a freelance copywriter/ACD in Santa Monica. He spent the first 11+ years of his career at one shop, RPA, and since then has freelanced for a long list of agencies that would make any writer jealous, including Crispin, Goodby, 72andSunny, WONGDOODY, PHENOMENON, Saatchi, and 180LA. (Nice.) Be sure to check out his photo filter for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (so simple) and his video for Google Play Music (above). Good times.

Shea is a senior copywriter at Cactus in Denver. Since his last post on MC (back on 02.05.16, almost exactly three years ago), he’s been busy—and making the most of the cool opportunities he’s getting at Cactus. Lots of new Colorado Lottery TV work and the commercial debut of KC’s Patrick Mahomes (who should have been in yesterday’s Super Bowl, ahem) for CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Definitely time for an update.
