Kate is a copywriter at McCann in NYC. She’s got Mr. T in a MasterCard commercial on her reel and it’s brilliant. Vintage bad-ass T, but even more bad-ass because he’s aged like a barrel of mean whiskey. (Barrel of mean whiskey? Sure. Go with that.) Good stuff.

Chris is a copywriter at Arnold, previously at Butler Shine and W+K. About the above ad, Chris writes: “Our campaign for Old Spice Hair & Body Wash pioneered the quasi-science of Hairchetypology. The print work reveals the known hairchetypes, while the online work encourages users to discover their own hair/body profile and what it says about them.” Name a better job than copywriter. Dare you.

Jeff is a freelance copywriter in San Francisco. Name a good agency in SF, chances are Jeff has written for them over the past 10+ years. So, asks you, what does it take to be a successful freelance writer in SF for that long? Three things. One, a bionic brain. Two, nice person. Three, I don’t know number three. If I knew, I’d be a freelance copywriter in SF like Jeff.
