Andrew is an ACD/copywriter at McCann in NYC. The work in his portfolio is killer—but it’s the format of his book that puts it over the top. Andrew has created #BAÑOBOOK: “the first Instagram-based copywriting portfolio designed to fight dwindling site visits by focusing on ‘toilet-top’ rather than ‘desktop’ views.” Instead of describing it further, MC encourages all to have a seat, take a load off, and enjoy.

Grant is a freelance copywriter/CD in NYC. His portfolio was one of the first posted on MC way back on 12.16.09, almost 10 years ago (how has it been that long?).

Stoked to have Grant back up on MC.

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%.

At the top of his site’s homepage is the line, “Here’s the work, and here’s the pudding if you’re short on time and just want the proof.” Click “here’s the pudding” and you go to another page that breaks out his work into Headlines, Commercials, Case Studies, Integrated Campaigns. Click on Headlines and you’re greeted with (in addition to some great lines), “Currently at a 200:1 embarrassing-scribble to solid-line ratio, but every 1 feels so damn good.” Amen.

Al is a freelance copywriter/CD in NYC, previously at Wieden + Kennedy in Amsterdam, NYC, and London, BBH before that. Holy smokes what a portfolio. There are so many amazing Nike projects on Al’s site, it’s almost a crime not to feature one of them. However, the above spot for Gap just killed MC when it came out, so it’s the one. But please, grab a beverage of your choice and a comfy chair, and take your time with Al’s site. It’s awesome.
