Ross is a junior copywriter at R/GA in NYC. One of MC’s fave things about portfolio sites is checking out what people did before they became copywriters. What lead them to a life of copywriting? For example, between May and July of 2006, Ross was a professional Ghost Hunter for Supernatural Occurrence Studies in Chicago. It’s like, duh. How else are you going to follow that up?

Michael is a senior copywriter at AJF Partnership in Melbourne, Australia. So cool to see portfolios from around the globe. So cool to compare humor and tone. To MC, the States and Australia aren’t too far apart, probably even closer than the States and the UK. Interesting.

Aimee is a copywriter/ACD in Chicago. Her site was submitted by fellow CW Mike Tuton (big ups), and it’s easy to see why. All kids of awesome work for a cool variety of clients like Adidas, Sorel, Tilex, Piperllime and Chipotle.

Roger is a copywriter at Arnold Boston. Each of the campaigns on his site is represented by a TV star of the 80’s. Funny. I spent a few minutes trying to determine if there was some link between a star and his/her campaign, but quit when I hit Alf for Progressive Truck Insurance. In addition to work for Progressive, Carnival and McDonald’s, Roger’s got a little stand-up on his site. Once again proving MC’s theory that surfers, drummers and comedians make awesome copywriters.

Anthony is a copywriter in Birmingham, AL. He’s incorporated as Battery Ads, and his site is part personal portfolio, part one-man shop. Which brings up an interesting question, especially relevant to 2012. As a freelance creative, at what point do you make the switch from individual writer to small biz? And to what degree?

Newt is a TV writer/new copywriter, breaking into the ad biz after years writing for the likes of Jimmy Kimmel and The Tonight Show. His portfolio is small and spec, but you can see where it’s headed. Fame and fortune is MC’s prediction.
