Advertising with insight



Writing

After 16 years in manufacturing, I turned to copywriting in 1988. My business experience has served as a reminder that while awards are nice, selling a client's product or service is the goal of good advertising.

I've spent 14 of my 22 advertising years at DDB Needham, Leo Burnett, and McCann Erickson -- and eight years freelancing. Here is a partial client list.

My online portfolio has a password for two reasons -- clients often want older material out of circulation, and I found too many people copying my work rather than calling for something original.

If you'd like to see my portfolio, just email me and I'll send you the key.

Photography

You'll find my photos at DonEllisPhoto.com, otherwise known as Kleptography. Most images are available for commercial licensing, as well as prints for personal display, but the free browsing is highly recommended.

If nothing else, you can see how bananas grow, meet a praying mantis, or read something unrelated to advertising in my tsunami diary.

Thank you for visiting.
