Evan is Chief Creative Officer of Victors & Spoils, before that copywriter/CD/VP at CP+B. Probably don’t need to write more than that, do I? Absolutely, positively stellar.

Mike Van Linda
Mike is a copywriter at David & Goliath, before that Deutsch and GS&P. This is one tight site. Four very different, very awesome integrated campaigns, one short Other page, plus Mike’s résumé. Ka-pow.

Eduardo Marques
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.”

Liz Taylor
Liz is a copywriter/CD at Tribal DDB. So cool to see all of the different ways copywriters display their work. I was trying to think of how to describe Liz’s first five or six projects, and the word “placemats” popped into my head. Placemats with video, sound effects and links. So cool.

Tim Cawley
Tim is a copywriter/GCD/VP at Hill Holiday in Boston. There are many sites on MC that make me jealous, but this one is way up there. So much great TV. I think I’ve watched “Karate” like 30 times now. And Miller Lite “Epidemic” (I can’t taste my beer!) is just awesome.

Tim Thomas
Tim is a copywriter/ACD at BBDO in Detroit. He shares a site with art director/creative partner Steve Glinski. Much of the work on their site is GM, and you’ll recognize a lot of it. But there’s also some really great stuff I’d never seen – especially in Print. Anvil and Night Light are awesome.

Luis Hernández
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.

Edson Oda
Edson is a copywriter at DM9DDB in São Paulo. Look what you can do by 25-years-old in Brazil. Wow. Most of Edson’s book is art directed by Rodrigo Bombana and it’s just beautiful.

David Yost
David is a freelance copywriter/CD, previously at McCann, GS&P and Euro RSCG. He was also an Executive Producer at GS&P and Euro, which is an awesome “value add” (sorry). But that’s nothing. Check out his Experience page. What job hasn’t he had?

Alex Flint
Alex is a creative at GS&P, formerly a copywriter/CD at Saatchi and Modernista!. His portfolio is just sick. Tons of killer work for Hummer, including the It’s A Little Monster spot, which is one of my faves. Some awesome surprises too, like a print campaign for Herb Chambers Car Dealership.

UPDATE: Sean McLaughlin
Sean has moved to W+K NYC from Anomaly. It makes me so happy to write that. Not that he left Anomaly. Anomaly is awesome. But Sean and I went to Oregon together, and there’s a bond between Oregon and W+K that’s deep. Seeing Sean land at Wieden makes everything right in the world. Big congrats, Sean. And for the zillionth time, thanks for Reservoir Dogs and The Afghan Whigs.

Will Chambliss
Will is a copywriter/ACD at Arnold Boston. He shares a site with art director/ACD partner Rob Kottkamp. I can count on two hands the number of team portfolio sites on MC. (Maybe one hand?) Career creative teams have become rare. Will and Rob’s site shows what we’re missing. Tip ‘o the Hat.

Brian is a copywriter/ACD at The Concept Farm in NYC. He’s also the brains behind Ask A Copywriter. Philosophy: “I believe advertising should be a force for good. At the very least, it should be great.” Amen, brother.

He’s got nine projects in his book, and they range from a killer site for Riney (breakthrough nav) to branded content/film Unflinching Triumph, directed by Mark Decena. NOTE: Instead of a rez, Justin links to his LinkedIn profile. Starting to see more of that.

Amanda Hughes
Amanda is a sr copywriter/editorial manager at Old Navy in San Francisco. It takes a special kind of copywriter to go after retail and make it great. Got to love writing. You can tell Amanda does, and writing loves her back.

Justin is a copywriter at R/GA in San Francisco, Cutwater and McCann T.A.G. before that. How about this for a client list: Jeep, Ray-Ban, Nike, Arnette, Oreo, Master Lock, Gibson. Suh-weeet.

Christian Durrett
Christian is a copywriter at SK+G in Las Vegas. Almost everything in his book has something to do with Vegas, but what a cool variety: Las Vegas and Bon Appetit, National Finals Rodeo in Vegas, Vegas TAP Project, etc. And don’t miss the last campaign in Print for Borders. Just perfect.

Alberto Garcia a.k.a. the fake faker
Alberto is a copywriter/artist/director at Atletico International (Grey) in Barcelona. Seriously, this is why I do MC. Alberto’s portfolio is fresh and weird and inspiring. Check out the spot for SEAT Leon, featuring the original narative of Argentinean writer Julio Cortázar. Beautiful.

Neel Williams
Neel is a copywriter at The Martin Agency in Richmond, Y&R NY before that. As the father of a daughter, an extremely talkative daughter, I looove Neel’s Cellular South spot. (Made coffee shoot out my nose.) His blog, Superuselsess Superpowers, is just ridiculous. I’m so buying the book.

Scott Model
Scott is a copywriter at Carmichael Lynch in Minneapolis, Energy BBDO before that. If you’ve visited MC before, you probably know that I have a thing for remedial video games, having grown up in the Pong Generation. Scott’s made a good one. “Man Luge.”
