Maria is a copywriter at Alkemy Digital_enabler in Milan, Italy. Eight months into the biz, she won a Bronze Lion at Cannes for Durex Loveville, which is hot. Winning the award, not the campaign. Actually, the campaign, too.

Prashant is a freelance sr copywriter in Chicago. You know, when MC used to think of Supercuts, MC thought $8. Or, now it’s probably like $20. (Who is MC kidding? It’s exactly $20 at the Supercuts in Corte Madera, CA.) So, it’s refreshing to see a Supercuts campaign featuring up-and-coming rock stars/DJs that doesn’t mention price. Probably pretty awesome for Supercutters out there, too. Nice.

You must love automobiles and home appliances and have writing samples to share—great headlines are, well, great … but we need you to keep us reading the long form copy too.
If you’re our ideal candidate, you think conceptually and execute flawlessly. You are an eloquent wordsmith, equally at home crafting ads (especially great headlines), brochures and online content. You are fluent in short, smart (sometimes wry) and insightful POV, and equally adept at keeping long-form copy sizzling.
You understand corporate and product branding, and can write a wide range of content that supports branding and marketing efforts across all media platforms – print, packaging, Web, video, events, etc. You have an affinity for luxury and those brands that exude confidence. Automotive, consumer electronics and home appliance products motivate you.
You want to make an impact at your next agency, to influence how things are done and to make it a better place than it was before you got there. You play well with others. Better yet, you inspire creativity in others.

But don’t miss Writerly One-Offs, a collection of long copy pieces Lyle’s done over the years. From Lyle’s site: “I’ve always loved long copy ads. But with all the impending doom surrounding the future of print, it seems every year there are fewer opportunities to write ads in this much-beloved genre. In any case, I hope the bunch here are as much fun for you to read as they were for me to craft.” Amen, brother.

Evan is a copywriter at Arnold Boston, been there since 2010. Little tangent here. After clicking through Evan’s site (good stuff!), MC kept going back to his Volvo Summer project. Is it completely cliché that MC now wants a 1966 Volvo P1800? Is it too “thirtysomething” Micheal Steadman? Probably. But that’s a NICE car.

Andrew is a freelance copywriter/CD based in Los Angeles, available globally (previous MC post 3.19.12). He’s all about cars.

He recently traded in his old site for a new 2013 model (tumblr), so time for an MC update.

Elinna Vega, Creative Recruiter at 360i in NYC, is looking for socially oriented writers to join their creative team. From Elinna: “Before the advent of traditional advertising, there was direct marketing: cheesy sales people at your door with a product. Then, came print, radio, TV, the internet, and NOW… SOCIAL. Nearly 24 hours a day we’re connected, plugged in and tuned-in to a larger social consciousness aptly named social media. As of late, there’s been a natural evolution in the way we engage with social media; it is no longer a place to go “poke” your friend, “like” their post about today’s crappy weather, or track where in the world Brangelina is vacationing. The new wave of advertising is real-time, social advertising.
Do you think in social activations? Talk in tweets? Fantasize about content that will crash the internet with its impressions – content that begs to be shared to the point of full-blown viral-ness (i.e.: Bacon Barter, Oreo Daily Twist, Oreo Superbowl Tweet). If you think you can develop and execute content for some of the world’s most popular and beloved brands (namely, OREO), I’d love to hear from you. Disclaimer: if you’re scared of producing CONTENT every day, while the whole world is watching…this is not the job for you. We talk to 100m+ people a day – feeling chatty?
You love: Pop-culture, Social media, Technology, The obscure, undiscovered and unknown, Challenges (see below), Redefining brand identities within the parameters of relevant, real-time data & insights.
*Most importantly: Free Beer on Tap, Ping-Pong and Pop-A-Shot.”
