Before copywriting, Jameson was a sportswriter and there are links to a few of those articles as well. Dig it.

In addition to BMW, he’s also got projects for Budweiser (cool Messi tribute), Lactaid, Monster.com, and Constant Contact. Time for an update!

Al is a copywriter at Saatchi in Los Angeles. His site currently features five big projects for Toyota (and one for Walmart), including “Less Drama” above that looks like it was a blast to shoot. Also don’t miss his Route Notes, deep thoughts that came to Al while stuck in L.A. traffic. MC’s favorite, because it happens to be true at the exact moment of this posting, is “One of the absolute worst things that can happen in your life is that you get home after a long day, you head straight to your bedroom, and then you realize that you still have to put the fitted sheet on your bed before you can sleep in it.” So deep. So true.

Justin is a copywriter in NYC, previously at ViacomCBS and Nickelodeon (before getting pandemic’ed), now on the hunt for his next thing. His site is full of work for/in partnership with Nickelodeon, including something called Toiler Paper Blasters which would have been an immediate MC purchase pre-pandemic, before TP became became the new money. His site also features a two-minute LEGO stop-motion video that he got to write for the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. That’s not work. That’s just fun. Can’t wait to see where Justin lands next.

Since his last post on MC (way back on 05.08.11, when he was a baby copywriter), he’s been busy—and it shows. His portfolio is so good. It was nearly impossible for MC to pick which project to feature, Dos Equis “Keep It Interesante” or Samsung “Let’s Go To Work” or Nike or ESPN or … had to be Seventh Generation “Vajingle” with the one and only Maya Rudolph (above). OMG so good.

Andy is a senior copywriter in NYC, formerly in-house at AT&T, now on the hunt for his next gig (thanks to 2020, ugh). Love seeing in-house portfolios. His site features six awesome projects for AT&T and DirecTV, including Sports Illustrated magazine wraps, an animated social campaign, and ultra-slick marketing kits. One of the questions MC gets asked most often about being an in-house creative is, “Does it get boring, working on one client?” Not if your client is the size of AT&T. Also be sure to check out Andy’s Music page. Good stuff.
