Rob Hall

Rob is a copywriter/ACD at FP7 McCann in Dubai, UAM. His site features projects for brands like TCS, Rolex, Hardee’s, Lux, McDonald’s, Volkswagen, and STA. Don’t miss “Ketchup Insurance” for Heinz (Bronze Lion, Gold at New York Festivals). From the write-up on Rob’s site: “a staggering 48% of Heinz customers have had ketchup accidents. While we can’t stop mishaps happening, we can cover them. Because if it’s worth the risk, it has to be Heinz. So, inspired by 57 real incidents found on social media, we launched a real, legally-binding insurance program offering customers coverage against 57 ketchup customer-inspired accidents.” Brilliant.

Ciaran Watkins

Ciaran is a senior copywriter at VML Health in Manchester, UK, previously at Havas and TBWA. One of the best things about MC is getting to see portfolios from all parts of the world and all kinds of product categories. Ciaran’s portfolio is part-pharma, part-consumer and features campaigns for everything from managing MS during the pandemic to getting “That New Toy Feeling” for Smyths Toys Superstores. Toward the end of his portfolio there’s a password-protected project (you’ll need to email him to get the password)—and a catch-all “other stuff I’m proud of” page.

Robbie is a copywriter/ACD at Saatchi & Saatchi NYC. So much awesomeness all over his portfolio. Don’t miss his first project “Marshmallows Only” for Lucky Charms (hello, dream project). Also, Hipster or Horse, because laughing. Also his About Me bio writeup, which is just about perfect. Love it all.

Craig is a copywriter/CD/comedian in NYC. So much awesomeness all over his site, including Lumbergh for Atlassian (above), stand-up on Conan (wow), cartoons with Harry Bliss (featured in The New Yorker amongst others), and a page of tweets that made coffee shoot out MC’s nose. So good.
