Ashley is graduating from Creative Circus on December 19th. Lots of great student projects and side stuff on her site. Don’t miss her spec spot for Prilosec OTC (above). “Hey there. You’re up awfully late. Something keeping you awake? You feeling hot? Is there something burning, deep down inside you? [Whispers] Is it heartburn?” Ha-ha! Dig it.

Liz is a copywriter at LaneTerralever in Phoenix. Her new campaign for Visit Phoenix is both “unlike anything they’ve ever done before” and a breakout campaign for Liz. What’s more fun than that? Creating a project that pushes a client and is great for the portfolio? Nothing. Nothing’s more fun.

Lora is new copywriter at Arnold Boston (congrats!), after graduating from Miami Ad School: New York and completing an internship at Droga5. Lots of interesting strategy in her portfolio: Crayola goes green by going black and white (above), bone marrow donation at Comic Con, and the NFL joins the World Wildlife Fund to help conserve the habitats of Bengals and Dolphins. Smart.

Evan just graduated from Chicago Portfolio School (big congrats!), and spent time before that time in the Second City writing program. Always fun to see portfolios coming right out of school—when the client and creative can be anything. Like Evan’s Sugar In The Raw campaign. A whole new spin on “Come give Grandma some sugar.” Goodness.

Sharath is a copywriter at Creature in Seattle. Lots of hilariousness on his site, including projects for Oberto Beef Jerky, Microsoft Surface, and a piece for Timothy McSweeney’s Internet Tendency. MC wonders: has the tweet/social media post become the new “headline” for copywriters? Hmm …

Sarah is a junior copywriter at Ron Foth Advertising in Columbus, Ohio. Her book is a mix of produced work (California Academy of Sciences, Columbus Zoo & Aquarium) and student projects from her time at Chicago Portfolio School (Game of Thrones, Male Breast Cancer). She also spent time in the Second City Training Center/Comedy Writing Program and has several script excerpts up on her site. Once again proving MC’s theory that comedy, drumming and/or surfing make great copywriters.
