Audria is a copywriter/editor in Santa Barbara, CA. MC gets asked all the time, what do I do if I don’t have any big ad campaigns yet? Or, forget big ad campaigns, what if I’m not an agency/brand writer—what if I write product copy, website copy, email campaigns, etc.? Audria’s site is one example of how to do it. At the time of this post, she’s got three projects up—for Sonos (product copy), Women’s Heritage (zine), and Topa Topa Brewery (product copy). That’s not a lot of content, but you definitely get the vibe for what she’s all about. Dig it.
NOTE: MC would love to see more portfolio sites like Audria’s—that do a good job of showing off work that’s product, retail, in-house, or website-focused. Such a demand for it right now. Send ’em in if you’ve got ’em!

Alan is a copywriter/ACD at The Wonderful Company in Los Angeles and a graduate of Second City (which once again proves MC’s theory that comedians, surfers and drummers make great copywriters). Since his last post on MC (back on 09.16.14) he’s been busy. All kinds of cool new projects up on his site, including Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers for Wonderful Pistachios (above). What a killer in-house gig Alan’s got at The Wonderful Company, with brands like Wonderful Pistachios, FIJI water, POM Wonderful, and Halos. Dig it.

Chris is a freelance copywriter/CD in NYC. His LinkedIn page states that he was named one of Wall Street Journal’s hottest freelance copywriters 2018, but that’s kind of hard to believe because it also states that he “hasn’t had shit in the Economist.” So. Not sure how one reconciles that. He did, however, come up with “Seeing Eye People” for Buzzfeed (above) which is both hilarious and cringeworthy, because it’s 100% that it’s going to be a real service someday. 110%.
