Andrew Hajjar

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.

Denver Ad School

Jesse Alkire, copywriter/CD in Denver (featured on MC back on 08.18.16, jessealkire.com), checks in with a big announcement. The new Denver Ad School is up and running.

From the DAD site: “A new school for explorers and risk-takers. Out west, nestled up against Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, sits a lone creative outpost. A place for the curious and the willing to discover how far their creativity can take them. To get here takes an audacious will, but any good creative knows that nothing interesting ever came out of playing it safe.

Before you seek us out, though, ask yourself one question — are you in search of an ordinary advertising school… or are you in search of adventure?”

Sr & Mid-level Outdoor-minded Copywriters Wanted: Brothers & Company, Wichita, Tulsa or Oklahoma City

Brothers & Company is “on the hunt” for outdoorsy copywriters in three of their agency locations. If you’d rather be on a river or a hike than in the office—this one’s for you. From Brothers & Company:

“Brothers & Company is looking for senior and mid-level copywriters that get outside – golfing, hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, camping, shooting and building a fire without looking like a city kid. We serve a solid roster of national brands in the outdoor recreation, sports and athletic categories, and authenticity is the lifeblood of our success. This is the stuff you can’t fake, and consumers can smell it from a mile away. We can too.

So, if the only thing that surpasses your passion for words is your love of the outdoors, this just may be your dream gig. Agency experience is required, and your book of work will start the conversation, but the stuff that gets you fired up is what will keep our attention.

About us? We’re a mid-size agency with offices in Wichita, Tulsa and Oklahoma City –  America’s heartland. And while location isn’t always relevant to an agency’s identity, ours defines the people and clients we attract. We believe in Friday night lights and American energy. The Second Amendment. That chivalry isn’t dead. And blue-collar workers keep this country sunny side up. It shows in how we approach our work, and how we serve the clients who entrust us with their business.  It’s not for everybody, but when it fits, you’re home, among likeminded people who work hard and play harder.  

If you’re ready to further your craft and your career on national television, print and web work that flows from your heart outside of work, drop us a line.  The interview just may be in a duck blind or on the golf course.”
