Can DNA get me to change my name to Anders?

DNA is an independent creative agency based in Seattle and they’re looking for a copywriter CD. However, the headline on their career page clearly reads, “ANDers Wanted”. Is it worth it for me to switch? Let’s take a look.

See how Cliff matches up with the world’s top 5 Anderses.

  • Anders Celsius and Cliff McCloe Go Big

    Anders Celsius

    Named “Most Hated Man in America” by the Association of 6th-grade Science Students (ASSS) for his work in incomprehensible temperature scales, Anders Celsius knew how to go big. No one could take it from 0 to 100 like him.

    No offense to Celsius but I’m pretty good at raising the temperature on seemingly tiny projects myself. So, yeah.

  • Anders Lindbäck and Cliff McCloe are super versatile

    Anders Lindbäck

    Swedish hockey goalie Anders Lindbäck does it all. He can skate. He can block the hockey puck from going in the hockey net. And he speaks fluent Swedish!

    But I’m a jack-of-all-trades, too. Web, email, digital advertising, social media, blogs, experiential…check, check, check, check, check, and check. Swedish fluency? Advantage: Lindbäck.

  • Anders Johansson and Cliff McCloe know how to bring out the best in people

    Anders Johansson

    Live music can go off the rails in a hearbeat. And no one keeps a band on track like Europe’s premier heavy metal journeyman drummer, Anders Johansson.

    I can totally relate. As ACD at Splainers, I led internal and external teams at every step, from concept to delivery. Sure, I never toured with The Storis Limpan Band or Björn Olsson, but how many of us have?

  • Anders Holm and Cliff McCloe, joined by the brotherhood of improvisers

    Anders Holm

    Comedian Anders Holm got his start in sketch and improv but really made it big with his Comedy Central sitcom Workaholics.

    Like Anders, I too spent years as a professional improviser and performer. Lucky for DNA, all that performing really honed my collaboration, presentation, and pitching skills to razor-sharpness.

  • Anders

    Anders Ünkupper

    Reporter. Anchor. Podcaster. New Year’s Eve party host. Is there a platform this silver fox HASN’T taken over?

    I’m ready to take charge, too. When The Garrigan Lyman Group C-suite took a day off for an in-house leadership seminar, I organized a not-so-hostile agency takeover that sparked delight for the whole company. And I did it all without the help of Andy Cohen.

What would you get if you hired Cliff ANDers McCloe?

  • A versatile, client-facing, writer/creative director with 13+ years of experience conceptualizing and writing across a variety of platforms including video, web, social media, blogs, and advertising

  • Adept in coming up with big ideas for "small" projects

  • Advanced collaboration, presentation, and pitching skills honed by years of improv performance experience

  • A proven leader who has shepherded clients, multi-disciplined creative teams, and other stakeholders through every step, from concept development to delivery

  • 1:1 odds that he’ll bail on changing his name if push comes to shove (though Cliff will always push and shove to put the audience first.)

I can be your Anders figure.
