Reagan is a copywriter/CD at R/GA Singapore. So many killer projects on his site, including lucky underwear for KFC (see image above), Southeast Asian Adidas, a magic marketer-branding tunnel for Meta, and a campaign fighting Post-Travel Withdrawal Symptoms (PTWS) for Hotels.com. Dig it.

Andrew is a junior copywriter on the hunt for his next gig, formerly at Ogilvy NYC (who just laid off 80 peeps across the country). At Ogilvy, Andrew was part of a small team “developing high priority work for Instagram as Ogilvy was their first ever agency of record. Projects included coming up with the brand’s first tagline, creating brand campaign ideas, activations and innovative on-platform film content to engage teens.” Pretty cool. His site also includes spec campaigns for Scrubbing Bubbles, Dodge, Starbucks Bathroom Reviews, and Schick Edge (above). Hoping Andrew finds a new gig soon!

Chris is a freelance copywriter/CD in NYC. His LinkedIn page states that he was named one of Wall Street Journal’s hottest freelance copywriters 2018, but that’s kind of hard to believe because it also states that he “hasn’t had shit in the Economist.” So. Not sure how one reconciles that. He did, however, come up with “Seeing Eye People” for Buzzfeed (above) which is both hilarious and cringeworthy, because it’s 100% that it’s going to be a real service someday. 110%.

Zach is a copywriter at R/GA in NYC. (Also a fellow University of Oregon grad, go Ducks!) He’s got a bunch of cool projects for Verizon up on his site, including Find The 8 (above), an AR game that somehow got over 360,000 people to use SnapChat for an average of 31 minutes each. Love the project video they put together for it, too.

Dominique is a senior copywriter at R/GA in Austin. Since her last post on MC back on 09.29.16, Dominique has made her awesome (and hilarious) site even more awesome (and hilarious). Don’t miss her musical featuring Drew Barrymore for Crocs, “Come As You Are.” Seriously, Crocs. Also, be sure to check out Nyan Cat Man on her Personal Projects page. So dumb. So genius!

Rebecca is a copywriter at R/GA in NYC. Love the headline on her site: “Copywriter—my Art Director didn’t help me with this.” (Ha! Just own it.) Her book is in that place that’s so fun to see, half student and half produced work—already got some cool projects for Verizon and Mercedes. Can’t wait to see what she does next!

Anthony is a senior writer at R/GA in Portland, Oregon. The first project on his site, Nike Speed Drops, just isn’t fair. Branded Lamborghinis transport superstar NBA players to Nike+ members in San Francisco, where they deliver autographed Nike shoes. (Ok, sure. Yeah. Do that.) Geeeeeeeez.

Don’t miss his beautiful campaign for Popsicle (above) celebrating summer. Is it really almost over? How’d that happen so fast?

Chris Cima, Creative Director at R/GA in Austin, is looking for an intern creative team. From Chris: “R/GA Austin is on the hunt for an intern creative team. We’re looking for both a writer and designer/art director. We’re willing to build a team from two solo badasses or if we find a pre-built team that has a great book, even better. The plan is to make this team an active part of our creative department and get them on real projects to see what they can do with enough guidance to keep their heads from exploding.” Love it.

Mate is an interactive copywriter in Stockholm, after recently graduating from Berghs School of Communication. (Note to self: must host Berghs Week on MC.) Lots of smart, awesome ideas on his site. Don’t miss Mercedes Future Cell, where he turns old cars into an artificial reef. Amazing job putting the video together. Wow.

Ross is a junior copywriter at R/GA in NYC. One of MC’s fave things about portfolio sites is checking out what people did before they became copywriters. What lead them to a life of copywriting? For example, between May and July of 2006, Ross was a professional Ghost Hunter for Supernatural Occurrence Studies in Chicago. It’s like, duh. How else are you going to follow that up?

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.

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.

Serena is a copywriter/CD at Strawberry Frog in NYC. Love how her portfolio is organized. Digital, Analog, Shiny Prizes, and Resume. Digital is broken out into Branding, Campaigns, Site Redesign, and Interactive Flare. Analog represents the first 10 years of her career on the traditional side, and is broken out into Print and TV. Put it all together, just awesome.

Barbara is a senior copywriter at Tribal DDB in NYC, Ogilvy and R/GA and Big Spaceship before that. With all of that awesome interactive experience, and projects like HBO Voyeur, Nike+ and OfficeMax Arcade in her portfolio, what does Barbara’s site look like? Some big interactive production? Nope. Nine projects you can click through in about two minutes. And all of the info you could want for each project, right there, easy as Sunday morning.
