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.

Colin is a freelance copywriter in NYC, Goodby before that. There are a couple of not-miss pieces on his site that I must point out and you Must. Not. Miss. Under Internet, check out the HBO short films directed by Sam Mendes. And under Writing, go to McSweeney’s Humor Essays and read “It’s Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers”. It made coffee shoot out my nose.

Jake is a copywriter at Goodby in San Francisco, Saatchi NY before that. Good writers have the ability to shed themselves and write in character. Good copywriters have the ability to shed themselves and write in brand. (I just made that up. Deep!) Stepping through Jake’s book, he just nails brand after brand. His Tide campaign is clean. His ASPCA campaign is heartbreaking. His Fruit By The Foot ad is fun. His Hyundai campaign is a Cannes Lions 2009 Titanium Award Winner.

Brooks is a copywriter at GSP in SF. One of my fave things about his site, other than the work, is the size of it. Just enough to know he’s a kick ass writer. I’m left wanting more, which is how it should be.
