James is a junior copywriter/visual artist in Austin looking for his first CW gig. He went to school in L.A. for TV Production/New Media/Advertising at Mike Curb College of Arts, Media and Communication. Then studied copywriting and interactive at The Book Shop. Clicking through this site, it’s 90% visual arts and 10% copywriting. Thing is, so many shops/companies are looking to add in-house video capability, someone out there might think that’s just fine.

Matei is a 23-year-old Romanian digital writer (recent graduate of Miami Ad School Hamburg) currently in NYC. His site is organized by year, so it’s easy to nav through his student work, and then what he did during internships at Saatchi Moscow and BBDO NYC. It’s interesting—to see what’s in a graduating digital writer’s portfolio at the end of 2012. While most of it is digital or based on digital concepts, a lot of the work is non-digital. Makes you wonder, where’s the line? Will there be such a thing as a digital writer in Dec 2013 or 2014? Or will we all just be writers again? Hmm.

Sarah is a copywriter at Sanders/Wingo in Austin. (Her site was submitted by Nikki Lott at Integer. High-five, Nikki.)

Also, be sure to check out her rad blog Badder Homes & Gardens, with Nikki and Krista Hogg. Awesome.
