Allison is a senior art director at Barkley in Kansas City, MO. (Her site was submitted by Will Benham, senior copywriter, big ups!) Allison’s Gift of Giving video for JCPenny (above) proves once and for all that giving is at least as good as getting. Nice. Also, don’t miss her Handmade and Invitations & Design pages. The girl likes to make stuff. Dig it.

Ryan is a freelance copywriter/ACD in Richmond, VA (and ready to travel). Since his last post on MC, way back on 05.07.12, he moved from Pereira & O’Dell to Innocean to Martin to freelance—and added a bunch of killer work to his portfolio along the way. Like selling lemonade with Ice-T for Geico (above). Definitely time for an update.

Dan is a freelance copywriter/CD in Los Angeles. Over the past 10+ years, he’s worked and freelanced everywhere good: BBDO, Goodby, Leo Burnett, CP+B, 72andSunny, Facebook, EVB, David+Goliath, sheesh. As one might expect, he’s got the portfolio to show for it. Just fantastic. Don’t miss The Great Paper Airplane Project for the Pima Air & Space Museum. Genius.

Chris is a senior copywriter at Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles, previously at EVB. Since his last post on MC four years ago (03.01.2010, just after graduating from Miami Ad School), he’s been busy. Cool projects on his site for Toyota, Orbit, Skittles (don’t miss Badass Rainbows, so funny), and The Amanda Foundation (above). Way past time for an update.

Kevin is a copywriter at Disney’s Yellow Shoes Creative Group in Orlando, Florida. Lots of magical work all over his site (sorry, had to), including awesome animated gifs for Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney World Resort (above, be sure to read the captions). Also, don’t miss his site for agency RSQ, “Helping you sell shit since 1977.” Nice.

Steve is a copywriter in … well, he’s all over the place. From his site: “Throughout 2014, I’ll be plying my craft at advertising agencies across North America and documenting the entire experience as I go. It’s about discovering creative transcendence, experiencing native cultures and developing a new understanding of what it means to be a part of this crazy world we call advertising.” Awesome idea. Good luck, Mr. Taylor!
Derek is a San Francisco copywriter currently at Proximity BBDO Beijing. Lots of killer stuff in his book, including an awesome campaign for Volkswagen in China. MC is way into infographics right now—love the 3D interactive VW infographic (above). Good times.

Michael is a copywriter at Eleven in San Francisco. (His link was submitted to MC by fellow CW Chris Elzinga, big ups.) Lots of really fun work on his site for an awesome mix of clients like Sun Valley, Nike Baseball, Square, Spiderman 3, Virgin, and Black Star Beer (see above trophy). Don’t miss Skippy, the stone skipping robot. Good thing MC didn’t find Skippy when he was live online. Would have been five days of complete un-productivity.

Ryan is a copywriter at Pereira & O’Dell in San Francisco. MC is straight-up jealous of his client list. Skittles, Nike, LEGO, Corona, Juicy Fruit (which has gone a little Skittles), Camelbak, Kiehl’s, wow. Love the work, too. Like Sarah Silverman making out with the Serenading Unicorn (above). Disgusting. And so beautiful.

Alexandra is a senior copywriter at Goodby in San Francisco, before that an ACD at Evolution Bureau. Going through her site makes me feel like the PC guy standing next to the Mac guy. Just wow.
