Rebecca is a copywriter/ACD at AKQA NYC. Her site is super quirky fun. (Totally stole my theme song, BTW.) A little taste from her self-description: “West Virginia native but I still have most of my teeth. I’m allergic to cats, in need of a tan, and teach Easy Bake Oven cooking classes in my free time. (Very tiny meatloaves).” Want one! Don’t leave without checking out her Weird Fun page. It’s weird. And fun.

Luke is a copywriter at Razorfish in NYC, AKQA before that. His portfolio is a blast to poke around and explore. On top of page two is a site for Benjamin Moore that’s described like this: “What is the color of Rock n’ Roll? What is the color of passion? Of power? Of sound? Discover how others view color and express your own.”

Stephen is a copywriter/ACD at Gotham in NYC, Lowe and Ammirati before that. Go to the TELEVISION section and click on the Stella Artois spot “Femme Fatale.” I don’t know how they got the daughter to cry “Mommy!” like that. (Not sure I want to know.) But it’s sooo perfect.

Miller is a copywriter/ACD at Energy BBDO in Chicago. Don’t misses: T-Mobile TV 3rd spot in (“And you can call that lady at my soccer games you always stare at”), Coinstar TV, T-Mobile Print 2nd ad in (on the spine, very cool), and in Other Stuff, “A running list of how white people complain.”

Evan is Chief Creative Officer of Victors & Spoils, before that copywriter/CD/VP at CP+B. Probably don’t need to write more than that, do I? Absolutely, positively stellar.

Mike is a copywriter at David & Goliath, before that Deutsch and GS&P. This is one tight site. Four very different, very awesome integrated campaigns, one short Other page, plus Mike’s résumé. Ka-pow.

Eduardo is a copywriter/ACD at Ogilvy Interactive in São Paulo. (Lots of killer sites coming to MC from São Paulo.) There’s great work up and down his blog, and Whopper Face is a biggie. But I have to call out one old school print campaign that’s just awesome. Look for the post title “Second Hand Furniture.” Tagline is “More than furniture. Witnesses.”

Liz is a copywriter/CD at Tribal DDB. So cool to see all of the different ways copywriters display their work. I was trying to think of how to describe Liz’s first five or six projects, and the word “placemats” popped into my head. Placemats with video, sound effects and links. So cool.

Tim is a copywriter/GCD/VP at Hill Holiday in Boston. There are many sites on MC that make me jealous, but this one is way up there. So much great TV. I think I’ve watched “Karate” like 30 times now. And Miller Lite “Epidemic” (I can’t taste my beer!) is just awesome.

Tim is a copywriter/ACD at BBDO in Detroit. He shares a site with art director/creative partner Steve Glinski. Much of the work on their site is GM, and you’ll recognize a lot of it. But there’s also some really great stuff I’d never seen – especially in Print. Anvil and Night Light are awesome.

Luis is a copywriter/CD at Leo Burnett in Mexico City, Ogilvy and Lowe before that. This is such an interesting portfolio for those of us in the states. It’s full of edgy work for what are very conservative clients here. In Print, check out the Proctor & Gamble Gain campaign. In Film, check out the Hasbro Monopoly vid.

Edson is a copywriter at DM9DDB in São Paulo. Look what you can do by 25-years-old in Brazil. Wow. Most of Edson’s book is art directed by Rodrigo Bombana and it’s just beautiful.

David is a freelance copywriter/CD, previously at McCann, GS&P and Euro RSCG. He was also an Executive Producer at GS&P and Euro, which is an awesome “value add” (sorry). But that’s nothing. Check out his Experience page. What job hasn’t he had?

Alex is a creative at GS&P, formerly a copywriter/CD at Saatchi and Modernista!. His portfolio is just sick. Tons of killer work for Hummer, including the It’s A Little Monster spot, which is one of my faves. Some awesome surprises too, like a print campaign for Herb Chambers Car Dealership.

Sean has moved to W+K NYC from Anomaly. It makes me so happy to write that. Not that he left Anomaly. Anomaly is awesome. But Sean and I went to Oregon together, and there’s a bond between Oregon and W+K that’s deep. Seeing Sean land at Wieden makes everything right in the world. Big congrats, Sean. And for the zillionth time, thanks for Reservoir Dogs and The Afghan Whigs.

Will is a copywriter/ACD at Arnold Boston. He shares a site with art director/ACD partner Rob Kottkamp. I can count on two hands the number of team portfolio sites on MC. (Maybe one hand?) Career creative teams have become rare. Will and Rob’s site shows what we’re missing. Tip ‘o the Hat.

Brian is a copywriter/ACD at The Concept Farm in NYC. He’s also the brains behind Ask A Copywriter. Philosophy: “I believe advertising should be a force for good. At the very least, it should be great.” Amen, brother.

Justin is a copywriter/ACD at Publicis & Hal Riney. He’s got nine projects in his book, and they range from a killer site for Riney (breakthrough nav) to branded content/film Unflinching Triumph, directed by Mark Decena. NOTE: Instead of a rez, Justin links to his LinkedIn profile. Starting to see more of that.

Amanda is a sr copywriter/editorial manager at Old Navy in San Francisco. It takes a special kind of copywriter to go after retail and make it great. Got to love writing. You can tell Amanda does, and writing loves her back.

Justin is a copywriter at R/GA in San Francisco, Cutwater and McCann T.A.G. before that. How about this for a client list: Jeep, Ray-Ban, Nike, Arnette, Oreo, Master Lock, Gibson. Suh-weeet.

Christian is a copywriter at SK+G in Las Vegas. Almost everything in his book has something to do with Vegas, but what a cool variety: Las Vegas and Bon Appetit, National Finals Rodeo in Vegas, Vegas TAP Project, etc. And don’t miss the last campaign in Print for Borders. Just perfect.

Alberto is a copywriter/artist/director at Atletico International (Grey) in Barcelona. Seriously, this is why I do MC. Alberto’s portfolio is fresh and weird and inspiring. Check out the spot for SEAT Leon, featuring the original narative of Argentinean writer Julio Cortázar. Beautiful.
