Charlie Hopper

I'm a principal at Young & Laramore Advertising. http://linkd.in/T9AUYj

I wrote a book called Selling Eating: Restaurant Marketing Beyond the Word “Delicious” which is available on Amazon: http://amzn.to/18UV2dx

I’m a restaurant marketing blogger. http://www.sellingeating.com/

I write a series of guest columns for Food+Drink magazine—here's examples: http://bit.ly/Oyvl71 or http://bit.ly/RGe0Oa or http://bit.ly/Nj0Ept

I write about the role of fictional food and restaurants in pop culture for The A.V. Club, the entertainment section of The Onion: http://avc.lu/1ldWQRC

I'm a songwriting columnist for McSweeney's. http://bit.ly/qQ8WcA

(Ian Crouch at The New Yorker said this about McSweeney's: “If you’re looking for inspiration to jump into whatever goofy, secret thing you’ve always dreamed about doing, Hopper’s chronicle is a good place to get lost today.” http://bit.ly/qanf4V)

I'm an advertising/writing professor at Butler University, and have been since 2012.

My advertising work appears in various editions of The One Show, Communication Arts (multiple ad annuals, several Exhibit sections, and a feature story on Y&L), Graphis, and Archive magazine.

My advertising work and commentary is featured in various text books, including Street Smart Advertising and The Copywriter's Tool Kit, both by Margo Berman.

I was a finalist in both the Billboard and John Lennon Songwriting Contests. For different songs, even.

My so-called humor has appeared in Mountain Man Dance Moves; The Book of Guilty Pleasures; Cavalier Literary Couture; and on McSweeney's in several places, including Lists, Letters, and The Convergences Contest: http://bit.ly/S67sIz
