Adam is a recent Miami Ad School grad in NYC, looking for his first copywriting gig. You know what you don’t see much of in student portfolios these days? Good radio. Check out “Peet’s Coffee” on Adam’s site, which landed him a 2nd Place Student Mercury Award. Nice.

Jean is a Miami Ad School grad and a new copywriter at Evolution Bureau in San Francisco. What a fun book she got out of MAS. Long copy (Canon), tequila app (Cuervo), beautiful art direction (Cowgirl), cool product ideas (Avis + Celestial), and nakedness (Maxim). Good times.

Christine is a copywriter at Deutsch. She shares a site with art director Clemente Bornacelli. They’ve done some cool work for VISA, including pieces of the Go World campaign for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Their site is hosted on Cargo and presented as verbs (above), except “???” which are their answers to James Lipton’s 10 questions. Christine’s favorite curse word: “Douchebag.”

Mark is a copywriter/ACD at BBDO in NYC. With Cargo, Carbonmade, etc., out there, MC is seeing fewer and fewer sites that feel custom. Mark’s is one of the few. Not only does it look cool, but it’s super easy to nav through the work (which is great, by the way). Nice.

Kacey is a recent Miami Ad School grad, living in SF, looking for her first gig. Laughs: Wheel of Fortune (Kacey held her own with Pat Sajak, nice), About page “I want to hate Kanye West, but deez hips sure don’t,” and her blog The Kace Face.

Margie is a copywriter at GS&P. She shares a site with AD Megan Penmann. There’s a ton of fun stuff on their site, including “Mow The Lawn” for Quattro for Women and a vid + spots for Huggies Pull-ups. “One Big Kid. One Ancient Throne. One Unforgettable Journey.”

Matt is an acd/copywriter at Olson in Minneapolis. His site is the first time MC has seen gorilla actually represented by a gorilla. Love the animal stage show thing. (Why not?) Some fun surprises in his book too, like a TV spot featuring Burger King hand puppet synchronized swimming.

Stephanie is a senior copywriter at WAX in Toronto. Don’t misses: Calgary International Film Festival, SAIT banners, Mitchell Eye Center, Orville Redenbacher webfilms.

Jenne is a freelance copywriter in NYC, formerly at McCann and Lowe. Her site was built with Indexhibit, which is my other favorite customizable pre-formatted site thing (in addition to Cargo). She’s got a lot of content on her site, including a Photography section and a page called Musicals and Movies I Should Write. Dig it.

Ricardo is a copywriter at AlmapBBDO in São Paulo. He shares a site with AD Gabriel Mattar. Do they get away with a little more than we do here in the States? Maybe. Maybe just a little more.

Clarence is a senior copywriter at Martin in Richmond. His Charmin Public Restroom Stall Wraps (above) make me so jealous. Why haven’t I thought of that? With all the time I’ve spent … uh, nevermind.

Andrew is an interactive copywriter at CP+B, previously at AKQA. Don’t miss: The Lost Ring case study. Amazing project. Amazing sponsorship. Just wow.

Luke is copywriter at Cutwater in San Francisco. He’s got himself a St. Bernard named Harper, new baby on the way, and a Cargo site that’s good times. Go, Luke!

Tom is a copywriter at McKinney in Raleigh-Durham, Fallon before that. Sometimes you go through a site and it’s just like, this person has fun being a copywriter. This person had fun making all of this stuff. Check out the first Holiday Inn spot: Unicycle. I just watched it five times in a row. “What is he a clown or something?” “I hope so.” “Good for him.”

Cindy is a copywriter/ACD at TBWARAAD in Dubai, Publicis in Seattle before that. Dubai! So interesting. Such a crazy opportunity. Would you?

Justin is a copywriter/ACD at Publicis & Hal Riney. He’s got nine projects in his book, and they range from a killer site for Riney (breakthrough nav) to branded content/film Unflinching Triumph, directed by Mark Decena. NOTE: Instead of a rez, Justin links to his LinkedIn profile. Starting to see more of that.

Justin is a copywriter at R/GA in San Francisco, Cutwater and McCann T.A.G. before that. How about this for a client list: Jeep, Ray-Ban, Nike, Arnette, Oreo, Master Lock, Gibson. Suh-weeet.

Roger is a copywriter/ACD in NYC, formerly at Lowe and Leo Burnett. In the Content section of his site, check out rexona. Robots auditioning for commercials. Hilarious.

Adam is a Sr Copywriter at Draftfcb in Los Angeles, Chiat and DDB before that. And he’s a rock star.

Scott is a copywriter at Droga5. The first campaign on his site, for MTV, is stupid funny. The next one, for Swedish Fish, is just as stupid funny, and on it goes. NOTE: I’m usually not a fan of sound effects on portfolio sites, but the air horn is awesome.
Martin is a freelance copywriter in NYC, after having spent time at McCann, mcgarrybowen, Cliff Freeman, D’Arcy and Wunderman. Lots of big idea visual print campaigns in his book. My fave is his Sketchbook (in Extras, third column down). You get to see inside Martin’s brain. Which, no coincidence, is full of big idea visual madness, and I mean that in a very good way. Wish more copywriters included sketchbooks – or something like them – on their sites. How great would it be to see a Janet Champ, Brock Davis, or Max Godsil sketchbook?
Alex is a junior copywriter in San Francisco. She’s already got an impressive freelance rez and a nice book to go with it, including a couple of killer games for Coke Happiness Factory 3.

Ruchir is a recent copywriter grad from Miami Ad School in Hamburg. He shares his site with art director and fellow MAS Hamburg grad, Sara Kujundzic. Their site is called Instant Ad Legend and it’s crazzzeee. The first thing you do is choose between Bill Bernbach, David Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, and Bruce Lee. Then you’re transported to a world of corrugated madness. If you can nav your way to Ruchir’s portfolio (good luck), check out the Van’s Roofitti case study. Good stuff, as is the site. Sometimes crazy works when it’s crazy enough, you know?

Matthew is an interactive copywriter at Publicis in Seattle. Not to be missed: HotelHellVacation.com (especially the game) and Matthew’s stand-up. Now that, my friends, is bravery. Tip o’ the Hat, Ween.

Tim is a senior copywriter at Carmichael Lynch, Colle+McVoy before that. His site is on Behance.net, which you should check out if you haven’t. (Think Facebook, but for creative portfolios.) His stuff rocks. YearbookYourself.com, PaintThatShitGold.com, Winnebago … it’s all good. NOTE: Also worth checking out but not yet up on Tim’s site are MillionBabyCrawl.com and LivingSasquatch.com.

Courtney graduated from Miami Ad School in 2009 and lives in San Francisco. Check out her Long’s Horseradish site (One Show merit) and messy Revlon Colorstay campaign. FUNNY: Courtney went to the U of Wisconsin before MAS. On her site, she has a little photography section. The first photo? Cheese.

David graduated from Miami Ad School in 2009 and is now a copywriter at Razorfish in San Francisco. Lots of good stuff on his site. The third campaign, for Jolt Energy Gum, is hilarious.

Louis graduated from Miami Ad School in 2009 and is now an interactive copywriter at Tribal DDB Dallas. Before MAS, he got a degree in creative writing from Iowa. During and after MAS, he interned at Fallon, Lowe, CP+B, and Energy BBDO (two months each). NICE.

Branden graduated from Miami Ad School in 2008 and lives in Orange County. His portfolio is a blast. Army men for Nicorette, an awesome conceptual product idea for Nike+Wii, and Jaw-Jitsu for Colgate.
