Laura is a copywriter/CD at JWT in NYC, Cliff Freeman before that. On her site you’ll find The Most Interesting Man In The World, what it means to be Gingery, and one of my fave all-time spots for Mercedes, “Re-incarnation.”

Craig is a freelance copywriter/CD in Dallas. Before going freelance, he was ECD/Managing Partner of DDB Dallas, EVP/CD at Flavour, and SVP/ECD at BBDO Toronto. Craig’s site is in-the-making, so you may find an unfinished corner here or a locked door there. And you have to register to view his resumé. But no worries, it’s deep enough to go exploring as is, and I’ve already given you the gist of the rez. To me, someone who hasn’t ventured into the ECD/SVP/MP acronyms yet, one of the coolest things about the site is that you see CD Craig as much as you see CW Craig. He calls out exactly what his role was on each project. Love that.

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.

Luissandro is a copywriter/CD at Grey Paris. He shares a site with AD/CD Giovanni Settesoldi. Their work makes me want to scratch my career and start over. (In Paris, please.) Magnifique.

William is a freelance copywriter in NYC, Wieden + Kennedy London before that. What I love about his portfolio is that it’s filled with ideas. Literally. Campaign ideas, script ideas, written out. Now that, my friends, is brave. And it works – because the ideas, and the writing, are great.

Get ready to be absolutely and completely jealous. What more can I say about Kash’s work, site, experience (now ECD at Pereira & O’Dell), awards … and did I mention his work? Holy crap.
