Dan is a copywriter/ACD at Calvary in Chicago. (Second City alert! Once again proving MC’s theory that comedians, drummers and surfers make great copywriters.) Fun stuff up and down his portfolio. One of MC’s faves is Chili’s “Open Letter” (above) reaction to Steve Carell and Paul Rudd’s spoof of LeBron’s famous “I’m going to Miami” ESPN interview. Steve and Paul end up describing/laughing about the letter on Charlie Rose. Genius.

Chris is a copywriter at MRM McCann in Frankfurt, Germany. Bunch of cool microsites in his portfolio, including five for Opel. Don’t leave without checking out his crazy Snackball machine for GranataPet. They need to have a contest where you can win one of those things for the backyard, your very own auto dog feeder and fetcher. Just make sure to duck before the tennis ball launches—dangerous!

Marc Greengrass, COO of Flint and Steel in NYC, is on the hunt for junior to mid-level copywriters. From Marc: “Who are we? We are a seasoned shop with start-up nerve. Why? We’ve recently bought ourselves back from one of the big agency conglomerates, in an attempt to challenge the definition of what a marketing champion can be. This has given us renewed autonomy and creative freedom. We are democratic, intolerant of mediocrity and creating ideas that range from gaming, Sundance awarded films, category-shifting TV campaigns and more. And we’re doing it for clients including Pepsi, NASCAR, Topps, HBO and others.

Who are you? A young, passionate thinker, in the business for 0-4 years, who wants to experience real satisfaction in their job. A person for whom writing and creativity isn’t just a profession, it’s a calling. A person who wants to leverage all their varied interests to create things that are truly meaningful. You can concept big, think fast, and aggressively contribute to an inspired culture that wants and needs you.”

Yes? Send your link to Marc at: mgreengrass@flintandsteel.com

Craig is a copywriter/SVP/Group CD at Arnold Worldwide in Boston. Since his last post on MC (04.22.11), he moved from Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Boulder to Arnold, and added a bunch of new work to his portfolio—which just rocks. It’s one those sites where you go, “Oh, that campaign. And that campaign. And he did that campaign, too. Geeeez.” Just awesome.

Steven is a copywriter at Blue Chip Marketing in Chicago. Just a crazy variety of projects and media in his portfolio. From a Cover Girl/MTV VMA Twitter Party to Food Network food porn for Fisher Nuts (above), there’s a little something for everyone. Plus, have to mention, MC got the chance to chat with Steven a couple of times over the past few months—and he’s good people. Dig it.

He’s also a drummer, and there’s a link to some of his music as well. (Once again proving MC’s theory that drummers and comedians make great copywriters.) Well done, Mr. Duran.

musings

Nick is a copywriter at Saatchi & Saatchi NY. You know, there’s nothing better than ads that make you laugh, like Nick’s Smooth Musings for Keystone with Keith Stone (“Bon Jovi. Which of course in French means, good Jovi”). Except, maybe, for ads that make you feel better about the world. Like Nick’s Super Bowl spot for Cheerios, or his videos for Goodwill. Nicely done, sir.

Since his last post on MC (03.06.11), Louis moved to Euro where he worked on Dos Equis and The Most Interesting Man in the World, then to Grey New York where he works on everything from Pringles to Purolator.

Since his last post on MC (03.26.12), Jim has moved from Portland to SoCal and added some new work to his site. Time for an update! It should also be noted that Jim is an Oregon grad, as is MC. So, while he’s now living the high life in Hermosa Beach or wherever, his head is firmly on the ground. Or his feet. No, his feet are in the sand. His head, then. On the ground. (Ahem.) Go Ducks!

Taylor is a copywriter/acd at R/West in Portland. After checking out his portfolio (don’t miss the First Tech spot with the pen, “A pen. Notice anything different about it? No chain attached.” Yes.), click over to his Culture page and behold Cruisedays On The Roof, which is all about watching Tom Cruise movies on the agency roof. (See Ice Man ice sculpture above.) Warning: there’s a tight-whitey shot halfway down the page.

Ben is a freelance writer in Chicago. Since his last post on MC, just after graduating from Circus (09.28.12), he’s spent time at INNOCEAN and Draftfcb, and added a bunch of work to his site. His book is in that in-between stage, part student and part produced, which MC digs seeing the most. So interesting to check out what writers create in school, and what that means in agency life, at this shop or that. Clicking through Ben’s site, MC totally remembered his school book vibe. And watching his FootJoy video, it’s like, yep, there he is—Bag Checking a pro golfer, just hoping to find Atomic Fireballs or Laphroaig.

Jenny is a copywriter at Ogilvy in NYC, just over a year into it. Her book is in that part-student/part-produced stage that MC loves to see. Jenny’s got nine projects up on her site at the time of this post, three produced for UPS & Ferrari, Philips Norelco Social, and Big Ad Gig/Bully Prevention, plus six student campaigns. MC had no choice but to post a piece from her student campaign for Half Price Books, featuring The Cat In The Hat plus Gulliver’s Travels (originally titled “Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships” for the literary among us). “Two books for the price of one.” Nice.

James is a copywriter/art director/CD in Milwaukee, on the hunt for his next adventure. Notice the CW/AD slash in his title. How many CWs have fantasized about having that slash? “I know my copy is great. It just needs to be designed different. If only …” and then you wake up, still seeing some ghost of the perfect layout in your mind, but not clearly enough to do it yourself, and besides, you don’t really know how to do type in InDesign anyway, even if you do know the kerning button. Dang.
