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. His entire portfolio is cars — and when you scroll through it, you quickly realize he’s worked on just about every car brand out there. 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.”

Julie is a senior copywriter at 360i NYC. She’s been a writer/CD in NYC since 2004, when she got her start at Mad Dogs & Englishmen. MC is always interested to see what CW’s include on their About Us pages. For example, personal recommendations. At the bottom of Julie’s About Us, she’s got two fantastic notes from Kash Sree and Noah Kerner. How do you beat that?

Otilia is a copywriter in NYC, graduated from Miami Ad School last year, spent nine months at Anomaly, and is now looking for her next gig. Her book is that new-copywriter mix of produced work and student spec, which MC thinks is awesome to see. What did Otilia create at M.A.S.? And then, what did she produce immediately after, at Anomaly? Check it out.

Jen is a copywriter at RPA in Los Angeles, soon relocating to NYC. She’s got a bunch of cool work for Honda on her site. But if you’ve spent any time listening to NPR (what writer hasn’t?), don’t miss her Faces of NPR project. Ira Glass looks just like Ira Glass!

Brian is a copywriter in San Francisco. Since his first post on MC (March 2012), he’s moved from AKQA to Digitas and added some new work for eBay and Taco Bell to his portfolio — including a series of shorts for eBay called “eBay Thanks You.” Sometimes a story needs more than 30 or 60 seconds, you know? Also, MC would like Jonathan Adler’s beach house, please.

Phil is a copywriter/creative director in Los Angeles. He’s done a ton of work for the film industry (awesome) — posters, trailers, sites, etc. He displays most of his work on tilt viewer, which has its pros and cons. Pros, you can click through it quickly. Cons, it’s hard for MC to snap a straight-up screen shot of a piece of work without a cursor smack in the middle of it. (Arrrg, tilt viewer!) Still, very cool to see a CW having fun with the movies in LaLa. Good times.

Carolyn is a writer/group creative director at mcgarrybowen Chicago. Ton of work on her site for big name bevs like Crystal Light and Maxwell House. Beach Body (above) for Crystal Light is hilarious. The CL drinker’s delivery of “I can help you with that” and “I’m gonna get wet” are so perfect. Nice.

Shloimy is a copywriter at kbs+ in NYC. He shares a site with creative partner/art director Chad O’Connell. At the time of this post, they’ve got six projects up on their site — but all six are great and that’s what counts. Like their spot for AdCouncil/AdoptUSKids. Is that real mayo??? Ugh.

Anthony is a senior copywriter at Anomaly in NYC. So much awesome hilarity up and down his site. Anthony is also a member of the Upright Citizens Brigade, and in a punk band called Wrad. Proving, yet again, MC’s theory that comedians and musicians make the best copywriters.

Jeffrey is a copywriter at The Richards Group in Dallas. He’s got a nice variety of clients and media on his site, including tons of work for Dodge Ram and GameStop.

Bevan is a copywriter at Woods Witt Dealy & Sons in NYC. Her site is Cargo, in a template of scrolling columns that looks pretty rad on MC’s MacBook. In addition to writing, Bevan has performed at Upright Citizens Brigade and freelanced for Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live—proving once again that comedians make fantastic copywriters. Don’t miss the SNL Weekend Update jokes on her site. Here’s one to whet your appetite: It was reported this week that John Mellencamp and Meg Ryan have been “quietly dating” for about seven weeks. They also added that the two have been “quietly dying” for at least seven years.

Charlie is a freelance copywriter/CD in Los Angeles. As a full-time freelancer, he’s added a couple of little extras to his site that are pretty key. Check out this Testimonials link. He’s got 10+ quotes, not too long, super easy to nav, that say a lot about him. His contact info (phone and email) are right up top, in a universal header. And his About Us page is no-nonsense, just the facts. A very clean, well-organized, hard-working site. Nice.

Trey is a senior copywriter at Fuse in Los Angeles. The first four projects on his site are for Kawasaki, and they include TV, print, interactive, and a manifesto vid. What’s more fun, as a copywriter, than writing a company’s manifesto vid? Especially when the company makes motorcycles? So fun.

Shanteka Sigers, SVP/ECD at SandersWingo in Austin (and friend of MC), is looking for copywriters. From Shanteka: “SandersWingo was founded by David Sanders, a copywriter. He once got a 92-second radio spot on the air. He went on daily two-hour hikes and ate whole grains in the ’80s. Most people ate cocaine for breakfast in the ’80s. And most importantly, David Sanders taught that our job is to make things happen right now. I need copywriters in Austin and El Paso. All levels. You’ll work on big brands like AT&T, Burger King and MINI. You’ll work on small brands like Run For The Water, El Paso Electric and the District Attorney of El Paso. The DA let us create an award-winning domestic violence brochure hidden inside a lipstick case, and feng shui his waiting area. I’m looking for some swashbuckling, enterprising, David Sanders-esque copywriters that want to make things happen. Healthy diet optional.” Interested? Contact Shanketa at the address below.
