CW WANTED: Breakaway

2 Replies

THIS POSITION HAS BEEN FILLED (via MC – awesome!)

Scott Maney is a copywriter/CCO at Breakaway in Boston, formerly a copywriter/ECD/President at Jones in Chicago. He’s looking, and it sounds like a pretty cool opportunity. From Scott: “Small, award-winning creative shop Jones (CA, One Show, Graphis) was acquired by venture capital firm Breakaway to create a hybrid VC/creative shop. Working with some really cool companies – Newton Running, IdeaPaint, Velcro. Taking equity in other companies instead of fees. We have people from Mullen, Modernista, Tank, Reebok, Arnold, RISD, Puma. We’re looking for a writer to add to the mix. They’ll work on everything from digital to print to TV to product development to business ideas.”

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.

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 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 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.

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.
