Desmond is a copywriter/CD/SVP at DraftFCB in SF, before that Element 79, before that Leo Burnett. His site is my holiday gift to you. When you’ve had enough of the relatives and need a little break – pour a glass of wine, grab the laptop and excuse yourself for some advertising awesomeness.

Robyn is a freelance copywriter in San Francisco, previously at Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners. Her book is filled with absolutely awesome writing – and I mean filled. She’s got a couple booklet/brochures for MINI that she just wrote the hell out of, including one of my all-time faves, Field Guide To Good Motoring. To top it off, she’s into taxidermy.

Brooks is a copywriter at GSP in SF. One of my fave things about his site, other than the work, is the size of it. Just enough to know he’s a kick ass writer. I’m left wanting more, which is how it should be.

Chris is a Senior Copywriter at Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners in Sausalito, and before that Arnold in Boston. As you’d expect from a guy who’s been at those two shops, his book is full of great writing that’s smart, surprising and funny as hell.

Gilberto is a copywriter at AKQA in SF. Before that, he was at Carmichael Lynch in Minneapolis, where he wrote four spots in the Jack’s Links “Messin’ With Sasquatch” campaign, with CD Brock Davis, of which I’m a huge fan. (Both of the campaign and Brock.) For four years into the biz, this is a killer portfolio.

Steven is a Senior Copywriter at AKQA in San Francisco. He’s got a great online portfolio. Sometimes you look at a book and you can just tell that the copywriter loves what he/she does for a living. Loves writing. Loves big ideas. That’s Steven. Steven has fun. When I go through Steven’s site, so do I.

Matt is a San Francisco copywriter who, as it happens, was a college buddy of mine at U of Oregon. You know what’s not fair about writers like Matt? Writers who worked at good interactive shops like T3? Their slick sites that you just know were done in 30 minutes by one of their punk interactive buddies. Whatever, Matt. The rest of us use blogs. Free blogs. Like writers are supposed to use. Jerk.

Get ready to be absolutely and completely jealous. What more can I say about Kash’s work, site, experience (now ECD at Pereira & O’Dell), awards … and did I mention his work? Holy crap.
