Erin is a copywriter in San Francisco, one year after graduating from Miami Ad School. So fun to see a CW’s book at this stage, part student spec and part produced. Can’t wait to see where she lands next.

Peter is a copywriter at Arnold Boston. (Graduated from BU in 2010.) Awesome to see what he’s been able to produce at Arnold in only two years—for clients like Jack Daniel’s, Progressive, and American Eagle (love the spray-on jeans campaign). Big ups!

Susie is a copywriter/CD in Chicago. She spent 17 years at DDB, during which she took a four year detour from copywriting and was their Director of Creative Recruiting (2007-2011). Now she’s back (freelance) and ready to write.

Justin is a copywriter at GSD&M in Austin (two years), after graduating from Miami Ad School in 2010. So cool to see what he’s done at GSD&M (awesome shop) during that time—including Meet The Aces, a campaign that puts Ace Hardware right next door.

From Leighanne’s What’s A Leighanimal? page, under the heading What I Learned At Portfolio School: “Big ideas are king. Which means puns are either peasants or serfs. How to explain to outsiders that copywriting has nothing to do with being a lawyer. The stranger your idea the better; your partner is always there to reel you back in. Or to tell you to stop talking. I can’t help but play devil’s advocate while brainstorming, which is a blessing but often feels like a curse. Celebrity endorsed ads are mostly crap (with the exception of Nicolas Cage).” Amen.

Sometimes you see a big-ass banner in some kid’s portfolio and you’re just like, “Yes. I want to see you knock that sucker down, cable channel for men in their 20s. Hells yeah.” And there’s no reason to be embarrassed about that. Because who wouldn’t?
