Dave,

Thank you for taking the time to write your book and make the DVD. They’ve been invaluable.

I don’t remember how I found your website, but it’s changed everything for me.

Before I read your book, I was doing terrible work. Mostly misguided, but just terrible as a result.

I’m sure you get hundreds of emails like mine, and I’m sure most of them do exactly what I’m doing now, but I really did want to thank you.

You just seem like a cool guy, and your writing is so genuine. That’s what I love about your work. Genuine human beings make the best copywriters.

I’d like to think we’re kindred spirits.

I absolutely want to make my career in advertising. I’m fascinated by, and strangely dedicated to exploring, every single aspect of the craft. (Your rant on media was the most amazing thing I’ve read since “The Fountainhead”!)

I’ve been at a Nashville advertising agency for 10 months. I wish they had more work to give me. But since don’t, I worked on my portfolio instead.

I’m setting my sights high. I’ve already started handwriting letters to creative directors at the 14 Atlanta agencies you list in your book. Once my digital portfolio is completely ready, I’ll mail them.

Thanks so much for your time, Dave. You deserve a medal.

Sincerely,

Brandon George
