Is there anything I can write to make you read this entire thing?

Possibly.

Shane Warren wants a job.

More specifically, Shane wants a job as a copywriter with an advertising agency.

Now, you may be asking yourself, what will Shane do to get this job?

Good question.

It’s not so much about what Shane will do to get this job, but what he will do once he gets it.

The answer is simple.

Using the creative forces granted use to him by a supreme being, he will create some of the best ads that just may change the face of advertising forever.

But in actuality, Shane will most likely create ads that will serve his clients and bolster their sales in just the way the company expects.

After all, if not for the clients, none of us would work in this topsy-turvy industry called advertising.

Another question: “What guarantees do I have that Shane knows what he is doing?”

Simple answer: There are no guarantees. (Unless of course, the client wants to state them in the ad).

But through a proven record of relevant experience, Shane can promise a 100% work ethic and a tireless quest to create the perfect ad.

Question: What is the perfect ad?

Answer: What ever the client wants, guided by our unmatched expertise in advertising.

Below you can see the related experiences Shane has accumulated to make him the creative machine he has become.

EXPERIENCE-(this does not just include “work” experience, but things that Shane has done to assist in making him a creative force).

Resident of Los Angeles, CA 8/94-12/04

Sure Shane had the regular “flunky” jobs like dead-end retail positions, telephone interviewer or dinner interrupter as he likes to refer to it, and such. But living in LA is an experience in itself. He met many strange, creative, whacky, fake people as you could imagine and successfully came out the other side. That is an accomplishment in itself.

KQIQ Radio 3/05-8/07

This was an actual “job” in which Shane entertained the masses on a college radio station. At first glance, this may not seem like relevant experience. Oh contraire. Being in college with other students who are 10-12 years younger than you gives a fantastic perspective on work ethic and the controlled brightness of our collective futures. Also creating spots for community advertisers on a college radio station with no money makes a person creative whether they aspire to it or not.

KWBE Radio 8/05-4/08

Another “job” in which Shane excelled at being the low man on the totem pole. Weekend morning show host and spot producer/copywriter were the orders of the day. FYI-in a small market, commercial radio station, part-time employees that work for minimum wage, do most of the work and get little of the credit. This is not a good position for those with fragile egos. He worked there for almost three years and loved nearly every minute of it.

Transitional period 5/08-8/07

After obtaining two associates degrees from Southeast Community College in Nebraska and swearing he would never attend any type of formal education institution again, Shane decided money is nice to have when you have a wife and three children. In his ultimate wisdom, (actually it was the wisdom of others sought in making this decision) Shane transferred to Northwest Missouri State University.

Being a Bearcat 8/07-5/09

Shane lurked around Maryville in the way old creepy guys do and earned a degree in Applied Advertising at Northwest. He also obtained many experiences and friends that will (hopefully) be colleagues one day. Shane’s tour as Station Manager of the campus radio station X 106, and his tireless nights in the production studio because of his mispronunciation of the word “community”, have given him exacting insight into what makes people perform successfully and how easy it is to not try and just go along for the ride. Shane is appreciative of the courses that he was forced into at Northwest, but there were some other elements that were much more valuable to him. The Kansas City Ad Club has made a significant impression on Shane; knowing that there are many other creative kamikazes out there who get that same electrified feeling when one produces a solid print ad. KC Ad Club Career Day and the Northwest advertising club’s Off Broadway Tour throw a person into the fray with only a small sharpened pencil to defend themselves. It is here that you figure out whether you would rather set yourself on fire than work in this industry, or aim to get your words on that billboard where I-435 and I-29 split.

Shane’s Life 3/74-present

Each person he has ever met, each ad Shane ever saw and each car he’s ever ruined has made him the person he is today. His parents shaped him, his world perplexed/entertained him, Shane’s friends appreciated him, and his wife and kids supported his move into a new career at the spring chicken-like age of 35. Another thing is for certain; solid ideas are rolling around in the small area above his neck. Every once in a while they shoot out of his pencil with the speed that would make a bazooka take notice.

Did Shane say too much?

Did he say it just right?

Will he need to do a thirty-seventh draft of this thing?

You have the answer.

Shane is a guy who can create in an environment conducive to achievement.

Do you want to talk to him?

(We think maybe you do)
