Matt is a senior copywriter at VCCP in NYC. There are so many cool projects in his portfolio, MC had a hard time choosing which to feature. (High-class problem, as the kids say.) Don’t miss his first project, JFK Moonshot (super cool), featured above. Love the idea/strategy behind the second project—Friends Again for B of A. And how does MC get some of those Coca-Cola Tic Tacs? Hmm.
David is a senior copywriter at Barkley in Denver. Since his last post on MC back on 08.30.2019, he’s been busy (including a move from Motive to Barkley). His updated site now features “celebrity cameos, meat-scented spa products and in-theatre entertainment that transformed into campy culture fodder.” (Nice.) It also features Pepsi Summergram—for which David wrote over 3,000 summer puns. Hello, dream project. Even if they only printed 50 of them.
Cole is a copywriter/GCD at Flint Group of Agencies in Minneapolis. (He was also a student of MC’s back in the day. MC takes full credit for all of Cole’s success since. Kidding!) He’s got a new site up with a bunch of cool work including projects for Bobcat, Flint, Mortarr, Pioneer, some old ad school stuff (fun to see again), and a special “headlines only” page. Dig it.
Andreia is a copywriter at Livlab in Lisbon, Portugal. Her site is divided into two sides: Side A Work and Side B Personal. All kinds of cool projects on both sides. Her first two work projects (at the time of this post) are “Stop the sleep crisis” for Livlab, which is so smart, and Morning Reboot for McDonald’s (above) which is all about waking up, and is also so smart. Love it.
