Bouncing Back in Advertising

On episode 12 of Bouncing Back I interviewed Andrew Weissman who was most recently a copywriter at Ogilvy NY.

Andrew considers himself a copywriter who can truly write. He’s taken comedy classes at UCB, and while quarantining he has also started taking a data science course, turning himself into what he calls a “funny robot”.

He’s a driven creative, who won’t stop until he’s totally satisfied with his work and the overall project. That's why when he decided to review Starbucks bathrooms in NYC, he made a point to do all 200+. There's even a website where he gives out bathroom codes, talks about the soap scent, the lighting situation, if there's a coat hanger or not, and more - what a guy.

Although his go-to at McDonald's is Filet-O-Fish, I urge you to shoot him an email at [email protected] and check out his portfolio at andrewweissman.work you won’t regret it.

She’s a pop culture junkie who has been on both the client and agency side, and she’s currently staying creative by starting a digital book club, reading, and listening to Beyonce.
