Bio:
Life isn’t always fair, and Senior Copywriter Derek Fair knows this. It’s hard coming up with new puns every day about your last name, but Derek manages to bring a smile to everyone, and our clients with punny, self-deprecating one-liners. Derek rose above the crowd of interns in 2015 with his quick wit and A-rated ad copy, and now writes all of M+M’s digital copy, from banner ads to websites.
Prior to joining the team, Derek worked at Complex Magazine & Capital One – where he made fun of the “what’s in your wallet?” campaign daily. His answer; Not enough.
Soooooo, he joined Madison+Main where his talents are truly appreciated. This former VCU Mass Comm “word nerd” gave us three adjectives to describe himself; obsequious, pertinacious and imperturbable.
Three fun facts:
- Derek once played Jenga against Riff Raff…and lost.
- He goes to bars and pretends he’s “Teen Mom” star Taylor McKinney.
- At age 7, a bee stung him playing soccer and he stripped his clothes off at midfield so he could finish the match.
