Julia is a freelance senior copywriter/CD in Berlin. (Hello, Berlin!) All kinds of beautiful storytelling on her site for brands like Google, eBay, MINI, Spotify, and more. Most of her site is in German, but the descriptions are in English and the stories go beyond language. Don’t miss her short films for Google Pixel. Nice.

Johnny is a senior copywriter at Razorfish in Miami. His portfolio features separate pages for Directing, Advertising Copywriting, Filmmaking, Photography, and Writing. His advertising page features work for Jeep, Chevrolet, Corteva Agriscience, and others. It also features a page where you can hire Johnny for one full year for the low, low price of $119,999.00 (ha!). First time MC has seen that in a portfolio. Dig it.

Nick is a freelance senior copywriter/ACD in New York City. Before copywriting, he was in book publishing and online journalism (Chronicle Books, Thrillist, etc.), which is fabulous experience/training for the ad/marketing world. Lots of cool projects on his site for Uniqlo, Mercedes-Benz and others. Don’t miss DefundRefund—his side project funding Planned Parenthood in honor of the GOP politicians vowing to defund it.

David is a copywriter/CD in Atlanta. Don’t miss his social campaign for RaceTrac (convenience stores and gas stations in the southern United States) around their “endless bevy of fountain drinks,” for which David got to make up fictitious soda concoctions and name them—the ultimate dream job of every 13-year-old boy who ever lived in the southern United States. Good times.

Dave is a copywriter at Saatchi & Saatchi NY. He shares a site with creative partner/AD Juan Leguizamon (both are pictured above, auditioning for their CW/AD roles, funny), called shoot-1st.com. From their About page: “We believe in burning midnight oil for work we believe in and that the best way to do something is to stop talking about it and do it.” Amen, brother.

Since Jason’s last post on MC (10/07/11), he’s gone from mcgarrybowen to Razorfish to his current gig, copywriter/ACD at Ogilvy in Atlanta. (Nice.) His site is still Cargo, MC’s fave for CWs, but he’s got all kinds of new work up. Like Change Your Hairitage for Aussie, above.

Brett is a copywriter/ACD at Colangelo in NYC. Awesome mix of work on his site, from print to banners. Can we talk about banners for a second? The best way to show ’em? We think Brett’s nailed it. Motion screen capture, edited into a little video, and then posted on Vimeo. Easy for everyone. (NOTE: Motion capture software. We like iShowU. You can get it at shinywhitebox.com for $30.)

Mark is a copywriter/ACD at BBDO in NYC. With Cargo, Carbonmade, etc., out there, MC is seeing fewer and fewer sites that feel custom. Mark’s is one of the few. Not only does it look cool, but it’s super easy to nav through the work (which is great, by the way). Nice.

Jenn is a copywriter/ACD at Razorfish in NYC. She’s also a writer-writer. From her site: “Jenn has published articles in I.D., ReadyMade, Salon, Slate, and Wired, as well as several anthologies. She has also published short stories in Seed and Adbusters, and is the author of two books and a planner.” A copywriter who actually gets her on-the-side writing published. For reals. Tip o’ the hat, Jenn.

Will is a senior copywriter at Razorfish in Portland. How much does MC love the Pacific Northwest? W+K, Razorfish, Publicis, Creature, Cole & Weber, WongDoody, Wexley School For Girls … awesome. Plus, U of Oregon (Ducks!). So much great advertising. And the best people anywhere.

Luke is a copywriter at Razorfish in NYC, AKQA before that. His portfolio is a blast to poke around and explore. On top of page two is a site for Benjamin Moore that’s described like this: “What is the color of Rock n’ Roll? What is the color of passion? Of power? Of sound? Discover how others view color and express your own.”

Peter is a copywriter/ACD at CP+B in Boulder. His site another example of a crazy-talented senior creative with awesome interactive work moving to a low-maintenance, free-of-charge blog. Scroll to the bottom and there’s a link to his old site, so you can check out the difference. Viva la blog!

David graduated from Miami Ad School in 2009 and is now a copywriter at Razorfish in San Francisco. Lots of good stuff on his site. The third campaign, for Jolt Energy Gum, is hilarious.
