domicopter2

James is a copywriter/acd/creative head at Big in London. He shares a site with art director/creative partner Tim Jones, and they’ve added a bunch of new work since their last post on MC (01.09.12). Don’t miss Domino’s Pizza DomiCopter. If Domino’s did that in the States, MC would be ordering pepperoni and pineapple every night.

Prashant Nashi

rockmycut

Prashant is a freelance sr copywriter in Chicago. You know, when MC used to think of Supercuts, MC thought $8. Or, now it’s probably like $20. (Who is MC kidding? It’s exactly $20 at the Supercuts in Corte Madera, CA.) So, it’s refreshing to see a Supercuts campaign featuring up-and-coming rock stars/DJs that doesn’t mention price. Probably pretty awesome for Supercutters out there, too. Nice.
