Who Wants to Be a Copywriter? Contest #4

The winner of the fourth "Who Wants to Be a Copywriter" contest was Sharon M. for her entry,

Like Freedom? Prove It.

The Assignment Was:

"If the U.S. wanted to create a 'retro-style' recruitment poster for current use, what might the headline be"?

Sharon is a freelance Graphic Designer and Artist in Springwater, New York. The judges chose her entry from the list of phenomenal submissions in Contest #4 because it has just the right attitude and clarity to cut through the clutter of patriotic slogans all around us. Sharon's and all the other entries are below. The entires for the general contest #4 are below as well. Rember the assignment was:

Investment Advisory Group is a financial planning firm providing consulting, planning, brokerage and other investment services to a select list of wealthy customers. They specialize in not only growing assets but protecting them against ups and downs in the economy. Instead of a headline this time, Investment Advisory Group needs a tagline. For those new to copywriting, a synonym for "tagline" is "slogan." It will appear first in their brochure, website and seminar invitations along with their logo. It should convey the firm's strengths in:

Comprehensive Fiancial Planning
Preserving Asset Value
Personalized Service
Your challenge is to develop just the tagline.

Sharon will receive her second e-gift certificate to Eddie Bauer that she can use online, in stores or over the phone. If she keeps this up she'll HAVE to get a job as a copywriter just to have a use for all that khaki.
