CopyCock

Posted on July 22, 2008 by josh

I’m toying with the idea of starting a side company totally dedicated to commercial copywriting called “CopyCock”. If not a new company, then maybe a cable tv show about the fall of advertising in the first decade of the 21st century. Or maybe just a little off-broadway one act about a neurotic, but lovable male copywriter and his foibles in the industry. Like an Ally McBeal for men, except everyone eats.
