Chris Wernikowski

Chris is a senior copywriter at Deutsch in NYC. Since his last post on MC (way back on 05.28.14, when he was five months out of school), he’s been busy. All kinds of killer projects for BMW on his site, including a whole page of headlines (love that). In addition to BMW, he’s also got projects for Budweiser (cool Messi tribute), Lactaid, Monster.com, and Constant Contact. Time for an update!
