But also don’t miss The Disability Project: “People with disabilities make up about 20% of the population, but are featured in less than 2% of the images we see in the media. We set out to change that with The Disability Collection, a stock-photo library that empowers the media with more representative and authentic imagery of people with disabilities.” Love it.

Craig Likhite, VP/Creative Manager at Cramer-Krasselt, is on the hunt for a senior team (senior art director + senior copywriter) to join their team in Chicago. From Craig:

We are looking for an individual or team to help us continue to make friends, not ads. You’ll work across integrated clients like Tropicana, Porsche, Corona Hard Seltzer, Spirit Airlines, Pacifico, Cedar Fair Parks, and more. The position is based in our Chicago office. All C-Kers will have a hybrid work schedule when we return to the office in January 2022.  

The team we’re looking for already has a great portfolio – broadcast/film as well as fully integrated campaigns.  Let’s see some non-traditional thinking, too (PR-driven ideas /brand acts). 

You will be equal parts concept-driven and design-driven. Someone who puts the idea before execution. And then, crafts the ever-loving hell out of that idea. This is an individual, or a team, who thinks about who would direct, DOP, and edit it all. A team who lives to produce work that makes their colleagues jealous. Who goes for not just a great PR idea but wants that idea on the cover of Archive. 

If this is you, then you should join us.

To apply, visit C-K’s careers page here. Or reach out to Craig at Clikhite@c-k.com.

Quynh is a junior copywriter at INNOCEAN Berlin. (Love seeing junior portfolios. Love seeing portfolios from outside the States. Keep ’em coming!) Quynh’s site features a landing page that’s all copy—a note from him to us, with links to work, CV, etc.—that helps a visitor get to know him in two minutes or less. It takes a little exploring to find your way around, but that’s part of the fun. Don’t miss the link, “I f*cked with Cannes Lions” which got a shout-out from Luke Sullivan. Dig it.

Responsibilities:

  • Translates creative brief into ideas, concepts, words and pictures that will engage target audiences and effectively execute on strategy.

  • Takes a holistic view of clients, projects and creative opportunities, to create innovative work that challenges the client, pushes the category, yet responsibly delivers on the strategy.
  • Good at finding and using the appropriate “voice” for every brand.
  • The CW should be his/her own toughest critic; never settling for the first idea, the safe idea, the obvious idea, pushing and polishing their own work and those of the team. Never afraid to start over if necessary.

  • Accepts notes and feedback gracefully, rewrites to address concerns while still remaining invested in the work.
  • Capable of occasionally sketching out rough ad concepts on a napkin or a tablet or whatever, and pretends not to mind when the Art Director makes fun of it (although later, when he/she is alone, a single tear will travel down his/her ruddy cheek because words can hurt, dammit).
  • Stays current on technology, and is fluent/skilled in the latest applications needed to do the job.
  • Writes thirty second scripts that actually run thirty seconds.
  • Is engaged in the advertising industry on a global basis; a “student of the game” who understands the latest trends/technologies, and applies them to client work here.

Desired Qualities:

  • Should want to create things that nobody has done before.
  • Should be engaged in popular culture; art, music, film, etc.
  • Should understand that this is a real business which requires doing time sheets, being on time, wearing pants, etc.
  • Should solve ten problems for every one he/she creates.
  • Must accept notes/feedback gracefully.
  • Never uses six words when three will do.
  • Willingness to become a great presenter of the work.
  • Steadfast belief that great strategic work can also be brilliant creative work.
  • Must have the ability to argue with others and still stay friends.
  • Respect others at the agency who don’t have as awesome a job as CW.

Education/Experience/Other requirements:

  • BA or BS Degree

Don’t miss the first one on his site, The Date for Jose Cuervo. So painful (in a painfully good way). Also, be sure to check out his campaign for Peloton: “Contrary to popular perception, Peloton’s ridership isn’t exclusively comprised of skinny, rich, white people who live in lens-flare prone penthouses. In reality, their members are as unique and diverse as the reasons they ride. So, for the company’s first ever global brand campaign, we found some real-ass Peloton members and filmed them in their real-ass homes as they talked about the real-ass reasons they ride their stationary-ass bicycles!” So good.

Tanner is a senior copywriter at FCB Chicago. His site was submitted to MC by Joey Johnson, a senior copywriter at DDB Chicago (love it). Tanner’s site is an eclectic mix of Ace Bandages (above), Naughty Cookies, Donated Toilet Paper, Feelings, Found Love, and other stuff you can see for yourself. Plus stuff you can hear for yourself—like his former band, Candid Kid. Now that’s good times.
