Erik Sena

Erik is a copywriter at BASIC® in San Diego, but as he writes on his info page “on any given day, my role fluctuates between idea broker, dot connector, brand obsessive, and occasional armchair anthropologist.” Word. His site features projects for BASIC®, Crafted (creative community initiative in San Diego, t-shirt featured above), Kandji, Martinelli’s, and David’s Harp Foundation, a student recording studio. Dig it.

Max is a new copywriter on the hunt for his first copywriting gig after recently “matriculating” from San Diego Portfolio School. (Max’s word, not MC’s. Nice.) What’s more fun than that?

Casey Marks

Casey is a copywriter in San Diego, previously at Piston, after graduating from VCU. One of MC’s favorite things about being a copywriter is the crazy variety of subjects you get to immerse yourself in, for a week or a month or a year, in order to write for this or that. Casey’s portfolio features a car buying site, NFL team, probiotics beverage, Pride parade, and online movie promotions (including the LEGO movie, above). Good times.

What a great student book—from a campaign about being watched for the Horror Channel to wild cats for Fancy Feast. Dig it. Can’t wait to see where Stephen lands.

Scott Johnson

Scott is a senior copywriter at VITRO in San Diego. Know what makes MC happy? Flipping through a portfolio and seeing killer writing all over the place. Long copy writing. Pages and pages of it. Because that means someone was doing some writing, and selling some writing, and buying some writing, and producing some writing. Which makes MC happy. And that’s a good way to start a Friday.
