Senior CW Wanted: Burdette Ketchum

Kim Perry, HR Director at Burdette Ketchum in Jacksonville, is looking for a senior copywriter. From Kim: “We’re on the hunt for a Sr. Copywriter who loves creating big fat ideas, long walks through Microsoft Word and fireside chats about hyphenation. We’re a young, growing shop located in Jacksonville, filled with talented agency vets from NYC, Austin, Atlanta and SF. We’re looking for a fresh, shiny new writer to join our team. Someone who loves to write a in a plethora of styles for a plethora of clients. A writer who can not only come up with award-winning integrated campaigns, but also write anything and everything that makes our clients shine. From headlines, radio and TV to the occasional brochure or long body copy or a good old fashioned print ad. Nothing too big or too small for our writing visionary. So if you want to work at a thriving, full-service integrated shop in a former hardware store, equipped with a garage door, Pandora playing overhead, a refrigerator full of unlimited Coca-Cola products, live animals (domestic) and an attic, come apply and let’s start that fireside chat.”

UPDATE – Justin Kramm

Justin is a copywriter/ACD at Publicis & Hal Riney in San Francisco. He just relaunched his site with a bunch of new work, and made it mobile-awesome. So now you can take Justin with you, wherever you go. How great is that? Great. NOTE: Commuters on 280 between 8:30 and 10am, don’t Justin and drive. Please. I’d hate for my blog to be the cause of my own demise. Thank you.

André Toledo

André is a young copywriter at Y&R Lima (the most awarded agency in Perú, I’m told). Here are a couple of things that are nice to see in a young CW’s portfolio. One, a simple execution of a cool idea, like André’s Lady Speed Stick video. Two, the ability to take pre-existing product footage and make something out of it, like Andre’s spots for Toyota Advantage Edition. Well done.

Todd Carey

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 Kalogerou

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.
