Dave Smith

Dave is a copywriter/creative director/producer/strategist in Nashville. Since his last post on MC (way back on 4.17.13), he’s been busy. All kinds of work on his site for brands like Harley-Davidson, Xtreme Trout, Iron Man Wetsuites, Brookdale Senior Living, Music City Boxing, United Methodist Church, Boys & Girls Club, and Special Olympics (above). Definitely time for an update.

Matt is a copywriter/creative director who splits time between New York and Los Angeles. So many great campaigns on his site, including a Super Bowl spot for Busch Beer, a Febreeze save-the-day project for the Parrish, Alabama Poop Train (have to see it to believe it), a Febreeze Super Bowl spot about a man whose bleep don’t stink, hilarity for Booking.com (above), plus tons more. Love it.

RemindMeWhatMatters.com

Jennifer Reis, a copywriter at Cultivator in Denver, checks in with a cool project her agency created called “Remind Me What Matters.” From the remindmewhatmatters.com site: “While we’re not out of the woods yet, it’s safe to say we’ve all recognized some important things we take for granted when we’re too busy to slow down and fully appreciate them. To commemorate this significant time in our lives, we invite you to mail a postcard to your future self, friend or family member. It could be a thought, an idea, a pep talk, a recipe, a new perspective. Because while things may be fresh in your mind now, we sometimes so easily forget. Whatever your message, let it be a reminder that even in the toughest times, something positive can always come out of it.” Only $1, and the $1 goes to charity. Dig it.

Emily Rhodes

Emily is a new copywriter and a recent graduate of VCU Brandcenter. (What a time to be graduating, sheesh.) All kinds of killer spec projects in her portfolio, including a super fun idea for Halo Top ice cream. Which is technically not ice cream, but is ice cream. Right? Right.
