Diego is a Brazilian art director/senior partner/CD at Ogilvy NYC. His site is so simple. It’s a “karaoke style reel,” plus links to Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, Contact, Store (yes, a store), and Tweet This!

Niels is a senior copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather NY. (He’s also a fellow Oregon Duck. Go Ducks!) Lots of cool stuff on his site, including work for IBM, UN Climate Change Conference, US Open, and the Office of National Drug Control Policy. By the way – how great does Vimeo HD video look? Now that you can watch Vimeo on iPhone, it may be time to officially crown it as the best option for portfolios.

Serena is a copywriter/CD at Strawberry Frog in NYC. Love how her portfolio is organized. Digital, Analog, Shiny Prizes, and Resume. Digital is broken out into Branding, Campaigns, Site Redesign, and Interactive Flare. Analog represents the first 10 years of her career on the traditional side, and is broken out into Print and TV. Put it all together, just awesome.

Kon is a copywriter/planner/CD, previously head of copy at a crypto exchange (that went boom), and before that 18+ years at W+T, Lowe, Ogilvy, and TBWA and affiliates. He now freelances between Thailand and South Africa. So much to discover on his site. Awesome Thai director (Thanonchai Sornsrivichai), great Thai agency (Jeh United), and a bar called Ronnie’s World Famous Sex Shop For Ice Cold Beer.

Stephen is a copywriter/ACD at Gotham in NYC, Lowe and Ammirati before that. Go to the TELEVISION section and click on the Stella Artois spot “Femme Fatale.” I don’t know how they got the daughter to cry “Mommy!” like that. (Not sure I want to know.) But it’s sooo perfect.

Eduardo is a copywriter/ACD at Ogilvy Interactive in São Paulo. (Lots of killer sites coming to MC from São Paulo.) There’s great work up and down his blog, and Whopper Face is a biggie. But I have to call out one old school print campaign that’s just awesome. Look for the post title “Second Hand Furniture.” Tagline is “More than furniture. Witnesses.”

Gary is a copywriter/CD at Ogilvy in Toronto, previously at TAXI, BBDO and TBWA. Don’t misses: Mercedes (print), Black Coffee (print), Honda (tv), Nedbank (tv), Virgin Atlantic (campaign).

Luis is a copywriter/CD at Leo Burnett in Mexico City, Ogilvy and Lowe before that. This is such an interesting portfolio for those of us in the states. It’s full of edgy work for what are very conservative clients here. In Print, check out the Proctor & Gamble Gain campaign. In Film, check out the Hasbro Monopoly vid.

Shane is a freelance copywriter/CD in Boston, previously at Modernista! and Arnold. This is an awesome portfolio. Print is full of just wicked writing and the TV … wow. He’s got 27 spots up there. Hummer, Bud, MTV, and one of my fave spots all-time, maybe even my all-time fave, “Milky Way” for the VW Cabrio.
Barbara is a senior copywriter at Tribal DDB in NYC, Ogilvy and R/GA and Big Spaceship before that. With all of that awesome interactive experience, and projects like HBO Voyeur, Nike+ and OfficeMax Arcade in her portfolio, what does Barbara’s site look like? Some big interactive production? Nope. Nine projects you can click through in about two minutes. And all of the info you could want for each project, right there, easy as Sunday morning.

Jonny is an interactive copywriter/ACD at Dare, London. He shares a site with creative partner/AD/ACD Dan Harrison. I love how it’s organized. Everything is presented together in a succinct, coherent career story – how they became a team, employment history, the work, awards, all of it – on one tidy page.

Wade is a copywriter/CD in Boston, formerly a VP/GCD at Arnold. When you land on his site, you’ll see a pencil with his name on it, and right and left arrows. I recommend you go to the upper right hand corner of the screen and click the arrow way up there, then click on Print as Writer and start with Urban Decay. Just gorgeous writing. “My beautiful ten soldiers.” Love love love it.

Nick is a senior copywriter at Jupiter Drawing Room in Cape Town, Ogilvy and Saatchi before that. His site is MC’s first from South Africa and it’s awesome. It’s so interesting to see the humor and the vibe of South Africa in Nick’s work. Some of it, like the above print, could be right out of Europe or the States. But some of the other pieces, especially some of the TV, definitely has a different vibe.

Emiliano is a copywriter/CD at TBWA Berlin. On his site you’ll find a goalkeeper Ferris Wheel, Obama’s image on a latte, and oh so many reasons to wish you were writing in Europe rather than the States.

Jed is a freelance copywriter/CD in Portland, after 12-ish years as a CD at Wieden + Kennedy. If you’ve ever thought this would be an easy little blog to run, if you’ve ever thought, “Oh man, that Siciliano guy has it good!” I simply ask you to go browse Jed’s site and tell me which one piece you would choose to feature. Impossible. This is a brilliant portfolio.

Troy is a copywriter/CD at Ogilvy & Mather Singapore, BBDO and Saatchi before that. His work is amazing. As for his site – there are two, a new site and an old site. It’s really interesting to compare them. Portfolio sites seem to fall into two general camps. One, get out of the way and showcase the work. Two, create a site that’s a piece in itself. Troy’s new site is in the first camp, a clean blog that’s super easy to nav. His old site is in the latter camp, and is both gorgeous and fun to play around on.
