Charlotte Frost

Charlotte is a senior content specialist at Hilton Grand Vacations in Orlando. From her This Is Me page: “I’m an Orlando-based content specialist and brand strategist with some PR know-how in my back pocket. Storytelling has been my jam since I was a kid. Telling the stories of industry leaders and small businesses is my bread and butter.” MC couldn’t sum it up better than that.

Nike: Dream Crazy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq2CvmgoO7I

It’s rare that MC posts a project rather than a portfolio. But every once in a while, something comes along that’s so well-written it just needs to go up. Still trying to track down the W+K copywriter who penned this one, will add the credit when she/he is found.

Back in the day, Janet Champ’s poetry for Nike Women (1988-93) is what inspired MC to get into copywriting in the first place. Thirty years later, it’s so cool to see W+K continuing to put writing out there, for the same brand, that really means something. Still setting the bar.

Paul is a freelance copywriter/CD in Denver (last featured on MC way back on 02.08.2012). He’s got a killer portfolio site with all kinds of cool work including lots of entertainment projects from his time at Starz, but it was his stock photo headline site, Stoccopy, that was forwarded to MC from designer/CD at Noise13, Peter Judd (big ups, Peter!). Paul’s description at the top of the site: “Crappy stock headlines for crappy stock photos. You’re welcome.” So bad. So good. Links to both sites below.

Andrew is an independent strategic/creative copywriter/CD in Paris, after 26 years at Ogilvy, BBH, and leading his own shop. His site is in a blog format, so visitors can scroll through all of his projects on one page. Per Andrew, you’ll find: “Some work snippets. Not the full catalogue but an eclectic mix of  strategies, ads and content. Or if you like, a sweet-shop of flavours, colours and tones. After all, brands’ personalities depend on them.” Dig it.

Becky Stevenson, HR/Operations Director at Two by Four in Chicago, is on the hunt for a Copywriter/Great Idea Generator. From Two by Four:

“Is your brain a petri dish for great ideas? Do they bounce around in your head like pinballs on crack? If so, perhaps you’d like to see them come to fruition as a Great Idea Generator: Copywriter at Two by Four. We’re in the market for a kick-ass writer – someone who not only gets it, but does it. An inventive, surprising, passionate thinker, someone who can take a strategy and conceptually turn it on its ear. A self-motivated, self-aware self-starter, with an understanding of mediums from television to web, print to guerilla – and everything in between. Oh, and did we mention you’ll be doing this at breakneck speed? Buckle your seatbelt. If you think you’ve got what it takes, give us a shout. You may be the right writer for the job.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop fantastic creative concepts, seen through to execution
  • Come at things from refreshingly unique angles; don’t just show us the expected stuff: surprise us, excite us, wow us, and make us happy we hired you
  • Do create work that makes our clients, the agency and your parents proud
  • Don’t be a prima donna; if you are, trust us – you won’t last very long here
  • Raise your hand when you’re not busy. Volunteer. Engage. Immerse yourself. Help out wherever you can. Make yourself indispensable. We’ll notice, you’ll benefit.
  • Depending on experience level, present work to clients; in any event, you’ll be working towards that goal – we don’t want you to go to every client meeting
  • Keep track of your hours and do your time sheets on time; yes, this matters
  • Oh, and other thing: we start at 8:30; yes, this matters, too – set your alarm accordingly
  • Roll up your sleeves, put on your thinking cap and dive headfirst into new business – we’ve won a ton of new biz this year alone. Want an opportunity to grow? This is it.
  • Stand out, but fit in. This is one helluva fun place to work, with a really cool agency culture. Be a part of it.

Qualifications / Skills Required for this Position:

  • Enough experience to let us know that you know what you’re doing.
  • A really nice body of work.
  • Being a grown-up. We don’t want to have to watch over you all the time, and you don’t want that either. If you can’t work without supervision, this won’t work.
  • A general understanding of how things work in advertising, including radio production and tv production, print production, web development, etc.”

ACD/CD & Account Director Wanted: Hub, San Francisco

hub_logo_final-2

DJ O’Neil, good friend to MC and master of ceremonies at Hub in San Francisco, is on the hunt for some peeps. From DJ:

ACD/Creative Director
We’re looking for an accomplished ACD/CD that is comfortable working both as an art director and a designer; if we could only choose one of those two skill sets for this position, it would definitely be on the design side. We need a person that can lead a client through a complete visual re-brand—walking them through the entire process of identity, visual look and feel and go to market creative for a fully integrated brand. We are looking for a very talented person here; we continually attract clients that want truly great work, and we need someone with the ability to deliver on that.

Account Director
We’re a small place, with no gigantic clients. Which means all of the clients we work with are the actual decision makers. As such, we’re looking for an account director that can work with these decision makers and really run pieces of business—from writing initial SOW’s, to writing marketing plans, to managing the client and steering them toward great strategy and great creative, to managing the account team that keeps the budgets and timelines on track, to growing the business, and everything in between. We’re not looking for a “yes” man or woman—this person will be a true client partner, and that means pushing back (for the client’s own benefit) when necessary—we believe this is how great client relationships are built. Ideally, this person thinks more like a CMO than and ad guy/gal.
