Chicago Portfolio School Week – Jake Thompson

Hello, Chicago Portfolio School Week! MC’s first, and we’re psyched. Kicking it off with The Book of Jake. Can’t tell you how many times MC has heard some version of this: “How come they don’t make copywriters who can write headlines anymore?” To which MC responds, check out Jake’s book. Ton of headlines in there, and more than a few are awesome.

Matt Bowne

Matt is a senior copywriter at Barkley in Kansas City. Bunch of fun work on his site, including Sonic Drive-in, Blue Bunny Ice Cream, Krispy Kreme, Mr. Coffee and plenty more. The caption above his Sonic TV spots simply says, “These commercials increased sales by 1000%. I’m sure of it.” How many times have I wanted to write that? Also, be sure to click on Bio for one of the most awesome family photos ever.

Bill Force

Bill is a senior copywriter at EURO RSCG in Chicago, Grey Direct before that. His site starts with tasty campaigns for Brigid’s Bags and Parker Brothers … and then, wham! Check out the old school Rolex spreads. Fellow copywriters, if print is dying, know this: MC will be with you every step of the way. Together, we will march to the grave. Together, we will tap the dirt with our shovels. Together, we will raise our glasses to 36-point centered Palatino, 150 words of body copy and a tag that drives it all home in four. Salute!
