Erin O’Connor
Erin is a copywriter at The Richards Group in Dallas. She graduated from Portfolio Center in 2010, so her site has both of student and produced work—16 campaigns in all. So cool to see what someone did in school, and then what they do as soon as they land. Such an awesome time in the CW journey.

Jessi Hamilton
Jessi is a senior copywriter at Kuhn & Wittenborn Advertising in Kansas City. Explore her site and the links on it, and you’ll find about 50% copywriting and 50% other writing: blogs, poetry, posters, etc. Which makes sense, seeing as how she started life as a magazine writer/editor. Copywriters come from everywhere. MC likes that.

Tom Kelly
Tom is a copywriter/ECD at Brand Content in Boston. You know what’s great about portfolio sites? Versus the old portfolio portfolios? The archive section. If they love it, it’s like extra credit. If they don’t love it, it’s like, so what? It’s the archive section. (Plus, for writers, it means being able to include your fave headlines on one-shots, spec ads, oldies, and so-so art directed pieces.) Be sure to check out Tom’s archive section. Some awesome work in there. Glad we got a chance to see it.

Lee Hanson
Lee is a copywriter at Colle+McVoy in Minneapolis. His site is titled “THINGS I WRITE:” and his work is organized in categories that finish the sentence – “on bus shelters” and “on jumbotrons” and “for osteoarthritic canines.” Makes you want to click on all of them, just to see what’s what. Fun.

Brett Minieri
Brett is a copywriter/ACD at Colangelo in NYC. Awesome mix of work on his site, from print to banners. Can we talk about banners for a second? The best way to show ’em? We think Brett’s nailed it. Motion screen capture, edited into a little video, and then posted on Vimeo. Easy for everyone. (NOTE: Motion capture software. We like iShowU. You can get it at shinywhitebox.com for $30.)

Bridget Deenihan
Bridget is a copywriter in Orlando. The first piece in her portfolio is a spot for Nemours Children’s Hospital. The 19th piece is the above ad for North Star Roller Girls. Couldn’t be more different. Love that part of being a CW. This week you’re getting paid to learn everything there is to know about helping kids who need it. Next week, you’re on roller skates.

Ryan Blum
Ryan is a copywriter/CD at TracyLocke in Dallas, where 7-Eleven is one of his clients. Which means that he gets to do campaigns for Slurpee, the most delicious beverage on the planet, with the President. (Not kidding.) Be sure to check out “7-Eleven—The Simpsons.” Genius.

Scott Stripling
Scott is a freelance copywriter/ACD in Winston-Salem. Check out his TV page. It rocks. Washington Mutual, Washington State Department of Health, and T-Mobile are MC faves. If you’re the father of a daughter, don’t miss T-mobile “Hard Questions.” Arrrg.

Andrew Payton
Andrew is a copywriter/CD at R/GA in NYC. What a crazy fun mix of work on his site, including tons of great digital. Be sure to click on “Intel, Web Film, Changed” (top row, third from right). We all have moments as copywriters, moments when we know we’ve made it. Like when you’ve hired a rock band and paid them however much to set up on the 10th floor of an office building and crank out a song about middle management I.T. Good stuff.

Isaac Silverglate
Isaac is a copywriter/ACD at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco, previously at Droga5 in NYC. His link was sent in by David Roth (thanks, man) and MC knows why. Because it’s ridiculous awesome. Every once in a while, you click through a CW’s portfolio site and think to yourself, “No way. No way did a client let them do that. No way did a client pay for that.” This is one of those. Start with Combos TV. “What your Mom would feed you if your Mom were a man.” No way.

Ned Selover
Ned is a copywriter at Y&R Paris. So, that means that he gets to live in Paris. That’s number one. Then, you know, because he’s at Y&R Paris, he gets to make all of this awesome stuff. That’s number two. But then, get this: Y&R Paris actually pays him to make that awesome stuff, so he’s not only living in Paris, but making money. Not fair, right? I know. Which gives MC an idea for a new awards show, which MC is going to fully sponsor in 2012. The Hey! Not Fair Awards. Ned Selover is our first nominee.

Bill Hollister
Bill is a copywriter/CD in Portland. His portfolio is loaded with awesome campaigns (and a killer one-shot for VW), including some great pro-bono work, which MC loves. Don’t miss the Jack in the Box spot with Jack at his in-laws. Hilarious. So been there.

UPDATE – Justin Kramm
Justin is a copywriter/ACD at Publicis & Hal Riney in San Francisco. He just relaunched his site with a bunch of new work, and made it mobile-awesome. So now you can take Justin with you, wherever you go. How great is that? Great. NOTE: Commuters on 280 between 8:30 and 10am, don’t Justin and drive. Please. I’d hate for my blog to be the cause of my own demise. Thank you.

Anne Sanguinetti
Anne is a copywriter at Martin in Richmond. She’s also an Oregon grad (go Ducks!), plus her last name is Sanguinetti, which means that she’s probably going to be a huge star. You can see it already with her Walmart, Pedigree, Tap, and L.A. Times campaigns. Brilliant.

Rob is a copywriter/CD on IBM at Ogilvy in NYC. His whole portfolio (minus one campaign) is IBM and it rocks. Some people worry about working too long on one brand. But if it’s an awesome brand, and you make awesome work, what’s better than that?
