Mark is a copywriter/ACD at BBDO in NYC. With Cargo, Carbonmade, etc., out there, MC is seeing fewer and fewer sites that feel custom. Mark’s is one of the few. Not only does it look cool, but it’s super easy to nav through the work (which is great, by the way). Nice.

Kacey is a recent Miami Ad School grad, living in SF, looking for her first gig. Laughs: Wheel of Fortune (Kacey held her own with Pat Sajak, nice), About page “I want to hate Kanye West, but deez hips sure don’t,” and her blog The Kace Face.

Niels is a senior copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather NY. (He’s also a fellow Oregon Duck. Go Ducks!) Lots of cool stuff on his site, including work for IBM, UN Climate Change Conference, US Open, and the Office of National Drug Control Policy. By the way – how great does Vimeo HD video look? Now that you can watch Vimeo on iPhone, it may be time to officially crown it as the best option for portfolios.

Christian is a copywriter at Mercury360 in Bucharest, Romania. Check out The Real Underground Party for Grolsch. (Cool vid.) Also check out Don’t Drink & Drive “interactive ambient” … can you pee in a straight line, sir?

Laurence is a copywriter at Berlin Cameron United in NYC. He shares a site with creative partner/AD Jason Slack. There’s a bunch of killer work on their site for the NHL, Land Rover, Snickers, Kindle, etc., but I just had to feature the awesomeness above from their “not advertising” section, labeled simply “World’s Greatest Ad.”

Mick is a copywriter/CD at 72andSunny in LA. His site is loaded, including ridiculous work for Carl’s Jr. like the above Paris spot, and a patty melt campaign called Flat Buns. Another cool thing about Mick’s site are the press links for each campaign. Instead of talking about hype, he shows it. Love that.

Mara is a senior copywriter at Ogilvy NY. Love her writing. Love the attitude running all the way through her book. Don’t misses: everything in Recent Campaigns and Non Ad Activities. Also, NBA on TNT TV.

Charlie is a senior copywriter at TBWA Chiat/Day, formerly at 72 and Sunny. There’s plenty of killer work for Zune on his site – including wicked video. But MC’s fave is a trophy for Charlie’s band Honchie featuring a plaque that reads, “International World Champions of Rock Music Honchie”. Sick.

Bonnie is a copywriter at JWT in NYC. She’s got a great mix of media on her site: TV, OOH, digital, banners and blogs. My fave is her personal blog, My Art Of Giving. You ask Bonnie to make something. She makes it. Then you donate to one of eight charities as “payment” for the art. Love it.

Chris is a senior copywriter at TBWA Chiat/Day in Los Angeles. From his landing page: “For more than a decade Chris has been privileged enough to uphold the coveted duty of working in the highly respected, virtually stress-free, incredibly glamourous field of advertising.” And survived.

Josh is a copywriter/director/CD in San Francisco. His portfolio is beautiful. If there’s a special creative aesthetic that thrives in SF – it’s beautiful. Maybe it’s the setting. Maybe it’s the people. Whatever the reason, the world is a better place for it.
