Hi, I’m Eric Mayse, CD and Copywriter at FCB Chicago


Without sounding too self absorbed, here's me in a nutshell:

- I enjoy short walks on the beach and even shorter headlines

- Still watch cartoons as an adult

- Coffee til cocktails

- Hemingway all day

- I don't mind starting a sentence with 'And' but find the Oxford comma unnecessary

- Did you know cable TV is considered a tax write off if you're a creative?

I was once where you were, but Portfolio MasterClass didn't exist yet, so I went to the Chicago Portfolio School to get my book (and life) together. From there I began my creative career as a copywriter at Ogilvy Chicago. I loved that place. After 4 years I headed to San Diego where I worked at a small shop called Vitro. Did that for 2 years before heading up to San Francisco where I worked at BBDO. I spent a couple years at VMYL&R in Seattle and I’m now at FCB in Chicago. Throw in teaching in my off-hours for the last 7 years and you've got my resume.

Oh, and i've had more than one student win an Addy award with work from my class, so I must be doing something right. Write? Right.
