Kashyap is a copywriter/ACD at DDB Mudragroup in Bombay, India. MC’s first from Bombay. Seeing as how India is the world’s second most populous country, MC is hoping to quadruple its Twitter following after this post. Namasté!

Stefani is a copywriter/CD in Austin. Over the years, she’s worked with Crispin, Porter & Bogusky, Ground Zero, BBDO, Ogilvy & Mather, Lowe Worldwide, and GSD&M. And now she’s got a shiny new portfolio site to show it off.

Elizabeth is a senior copywriter at Kirshenbaum NYC. She’s got a ton of killer stuff for BMW up on her site, plus De Beers, Starz, Smirnoff, Wendy’s, awesome. From her Elizabeth King • Copywriter page: “Advertising is not for those who like things winded. Long copy is dead. We’re no longer writers, we’re thinkers, right?” Hmm, wonders MC. Writers = thinkers. Maybe there just aren’t any readers left?

Chase is a copywriter/comedian in NYC. He’s got some fun new work for Planter’s, plus good times for Fanta, Time Warner Cable, Burger King, and others. Also, be sure to click on his link “My Comedy (and other projects)” and then scroll down to video #2, “This is the only kind of house party that I like …”

Greg is a copywriter/CD at Ogilvy NY. He’s got a brand new site and a bunch of new work to go with it, including an interactive touch wall for IBM at the US Open, and three new spots for IBM. But honestly, there’s so much killer work in Greg’s portfolio, any excuse to post it again is a good excuse.

Marcelo is a senior copywriter at Ogilvy São Paulo. Fun fun fun fun fun. All kinds of fun work all over Marcelo’s site. For his post, it was between the above and one of his Huggies print ads, featuring ET poops and pees in UFOs battling against laser-weilding diaper aliens. Such a tough call.

Darren is a writer at AJF Partnership in Melbourne, Australia. His portfolio (Indexhibit) is deep and awesome. Don’t leave without checking out his non-advertising sections too: RANDOM ACTS and MIXTAPES. MC is downloading You Know I Got Soul Mix as I type. Fingers crossed.

Aaron is a copywriter/CD at Sarkissian Mason in NYC. His portfolio rocks. Just a fantastic crazy swirl of digital, experiential, virtual new world awesomeness. Get ready to geek out on this one. Love it.

Michael is a senior copywriter at AJF Partnership in Melbourne, Australia. So cool to see portfolios from around the globe. So cool to compare humor and tone. To MC, the States and Australia aren’t too far apart, probably even closer than the States and the UK. Interesting.

Kathy is a copywriter/ACD at Proof in Austin. If you’re a sucker for crazy animation/illustration like MC, check out Kathy’s campaign for Heritage Boot Elves. (In Broadcast, second to the last spot.) Bonus points for Spanish with subtitles.

Friend of MC, genius copywriter and brilliant human being Chris Ford is back in the States (and the Bay Area) as CCO at Draftfcb. He’s also got a new Cargo site that’s just loaded. Welcome home, Ford.

Pedro is a copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather Brazil. Check out the second video on his site for the Mega BK Stacker. Anderson Silva, Brazilian mixed martial artist and UFC Middleweight Champion, lip-syncing “Loving You” and just killing it.

Andrew is a copywriter/CD at R/GA in NYC. What a crazy fun mix of work on his site, including tons of great digital. Be sure to click on “Intel, Web Film, Changed” (top row, third from right). We all have moments as copywriters, moments when we know we’ve made it. Like when you’ve hired a rock band and paid them however much to set up on the 10th floor of an office building and crank out a song about middle management I.T. Good stuff.

Ned is a copywriter at Y&R Paris. So, that means that he gets to live in Paris. That’s number one. Then, you know, because he’s at Y&R Paris, he gets to make all of this awesome stuff. That’s number two. But then, get this: Y&R Paris actually pays him to make that awesome stuff, so he’s not only living in Paris, but making money. Not fair, right? I know. Which gives MC an idea for a new awards show, which MC is going to fully sponsor in 2012. The Hey! Not Fair Awards. Ned Selover is our first nominee.

Erich is a copywriter/CD in NYC. Check out his campaign for the Urban Cat League, “a NYC-based organization that rehabilitates feral street cats and kittens, and finds them stable, loving homes.” Way to use your ad powers for good, sir. Tip o’ the Hat.

Rob is a copywriter/CD on IBM at Ogilvy in NYC. His whole portfolio (minus one campaign) is IBM and it rocks. Some people worry about working too long on one brand. But if it’s an awesome brand, and you make awesome work, what’s better than that?

Ryan is an American copywriter in Shanghai. (Sounds like a movie to MC.) Midwestern guy studies at Brainco in Minnesota. Works at Mullen for a year. Ships off to China. Quickly becomes an award-winning Creative Group Head at Ogilvy & Mather Shanghai. In a world …

James is a new copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather Chicago, after recently graduating from Chicago Portfolio School. MC loves to see what got who hired where. So, what did the honchos at O&M dig in Mr. Kinney’s book? We’re guessing his tagline/campaign for 9Lives, to start. “Live like it’s your 8th.” Yes.

David is a copywriter/EVP/GCD at Arnold Worldwide in Boston. His site is more than advertising. It’s the creative output of one David Register, including photos, a kids book, and a collage he made for his son. Love it.

Greg is a copywriter/ACD at Ogilvy NYC. Love how his site is written. Nothing on the home page, just clean. History and Honors is thorough but minimal. For each campaign, there’s just the right amount of set-up (when set-up is needed). And credits are fully blown-out, awards show-style.

Chris is a senior copywriter at Gardner Nelson in NYC. There’s a great mix of work on his site, from Trident White (above), to a guerilla idea for ambulance chasing lawyers, to content for several hilarious blogs, including “Posing With Potholes.” Thank God for the Internet.

Dov is a copywriter/ACD at Ogilvy in NYC. Over the past ten years, he’s also done time at R/GA, FCB, TBWA, and JWT Melbourne. His site is loaded with awesome work, and a ton of it. Lots of which MC hadn’t seen before, like the above campaign for Maxwell House. Yawning IS ugly.

Steven is a copywriter/CD/VP at McCann NYC. You know what’s awesome? When a CD with the credentials, portfolio and experience that Steven’s got includes a campaign on his site that’s all about making “the 5th floor of Ogilvy’s old office a livelier place.” Love it.

Jeff is a copywriter/ACD at Cramer-Krasselt in Milwaukee. (Brand new gig, big congrats Jeff.) Check out this note to Jeff from Jason Alexander, after Jason received Jeff’s first script for his Jenny Craig Video Blog, “Jeff, I am literally blown away. Brilliant. I couldn’t have said it better. You truly got my voice down. I have no notes and anyone who knows me knows that is a first. It’s perfect. Go with it and thank you. If I ever run for office you are hired as my official speechwriter. Happy holidays. I’m telling my wife that I am blown away or in the words of George, ‘I am speechless. I am without speech’.” Nice.

Carol is a copywriter in São Paulo, Brazil. Sometimes you see an ad or a spot and you think to yourself, “How the heck have I not thought of doing that before?” Check out Carol’s Crazy About Ketchup spot for Hellman’s. How the heck have you not thought of doing that before?

Rob is a copywriter/CD in NYC. There are fewer and fewer portfolio sites that feel like someone made them from scratch. Rob’s site is one of the few, and it’s just awesome.

Chiyong is a senior copywriter at JWT NY, formerly at Ogilvy & Mather and Leo Burnett. That’s a rez right off Mad Men, but Chiyong’s work is fresh as fish. (Fresh as fish?) Bing, Yahoo!, IBM, awesome.
