Mike Haftel is a freelance copywriter in San Francisco. (Mike’s been on MC a few times over the years, always great to see his portfolio updates.) Since his last post on MC in 2018, he’s added a bunch of new work to his site including a cool trailer for Alan Wake 2 (AKQA), a psychological/survival horror game. At the time of this post, the launch trailer is up for a Clio and Golden Joystick Award. Niiiice.

Matt is a copywriter in Albuquerque on the hunt for his next thing. Love the strategic write-ups for his projects, titled “Consider This.” Short, to the point, great way to set things up. Also dig that Matt includes #1 Failures for each job he’s had on his Experience page—along with three things he’s learned (down at the bottom). Super smart site, all the way around. Except for his Jokes video. That’s good and dumb.
