EE // Unfinished

‘Unfinished’ by Ellen White is the official autobiography of England Women's greatest ever goalscorer. Except this story doesn't end in glory. It ends abruptly in her teenage years.
At the exact age 121 girls drop out of sport every day in the UK. With her career highlights thrown into darkness by online hate throughout the rest of the book. The book received national media attention making it all the way up to the UK Government. Who have since committed to ensuring the new Online Safety Act legally requires social media companies to protect users from the scourge of online abuse.

Miami Ad School // Miscellaneous

1 - “I want you” Graphic Design Classes

A survey of students newly enrolled in design courses showed that interest in the area stems primarily from the visual character of the work. To promote the design course for Miami Ad School, we created a free poster exhibition within one of the country's top museums: the São Paulo Pinacoteca. The 30 posters are interpretations of the famous poster "I Want You" by James Flagg. A call to support the cause of graphic design.

Pinacoteca Museum

“There is no right.

There ir no wrong.

There is art.”

The São Paulo Pinacoteca is one of the most important art museums in Brazil. It is the oldest in the city and houses the largest collection of Brazilian art. Like every museum, it faces the challenges of staying relevant, mirror society and meeting the expectations of an increasingly diverse public.

A frequent misconception of the population is to believe that one must understand art in order to attend a museum. To change this perception, communication demystifies the act of appreciating the work of art, inviting the spectator to make his own interpretation.

Marie Curie // The Wish List

The end of the road. It comes for us all. But when you’re prepared for the end of life, you’re also preparing loved ones for the life ahead. To show the importance of this, we used the one person the entire world relies on. Set to the backdrop of a powerful new Liam Gallagher track, we did the unthinkable.

(For my non UK-friends, Marie Curie is the country’s leading provider in end of life care).

Peta // Don’t fence me in

Humans have been stuck inside for a short time, yet some are already complaining about their freedom. Using the topicality of the lockdown, we launched a global campaign around an issue that everyone can finally relate to.

The animated film, social and OOH ran in the UK, US, Australia, Germany, France, The Netherlands and Spain.

Campaign highlight: Ricky Gervais liked the film on Twitter. Bastard could’ve at least shared it, no?

43º Creative Club Annual // Concept and Art Direction

In 2019, I was chosen to be the art director for the 43rd annual of the Brazilian Creative Club.

“Creativity is dead. Long live creativity”

Algorithms, formats, personalizations, data, clusters, six seconds, absolute truths that change every second.

Gurus, prophets, research.

The executioners of creativity are getting stronger and stronger.

Assassins of the outstanding.

Bureaucrats of the deja vu.

Do they want us to languish in mourning?

Fools.

We will appropriate the mourning.

And not out of grief.

But to celebrate its immortality.

Because with each stabbing, creativity is reborn.

With each wound, it not only flourishes, but multiplies.

Paradoxically, the more it is made a victim, the stronger and more important it gets.

Not only because it keeps being, the only escape for this mass creativicide, but also because it is the only one that can invent the next way of coming out unscathed.

Long life!

F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi // Visual identity

The strenght of the identity lies in the modernist aesthetics derived from the agency’s building (designed by Isay Weinfeld). Also the agency’s interior design evokes an art gallery mood with tons of white space. By removing all that wasn’t essential, we sticked the visual system to this minimalist aestethics which runs deep in F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi’s soul.

Leica // Hostage of memory

In this campaign, we encourage people to click more to stop being hostages of their own memory.

Which distorts, kidnaps and mutilates our recollections.

Re-signified graphically, a wall represents how memory blocks us, a prison shows how it kidnaps our moments, and a grinding machine shows how it only returns us fragmented scenes.

Annecy // 100 Years in 100 seconds

Cent ans en 100 secondes (A century in a hundred seconds) is a campaign that honours the 100 years of brazilian animation in its biggest event, Festival International Du Film D'animation, in Annecy, France. The film features the last century of brazilian production in only a hundred seconds, including iconic characters from advertising to cinema. The final result shows in a chronological line the famous mouse from 'Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum' (Famous show in the 90's) to Cuca, the main character from 'Boy and the World', nominated for Best Animation Film in the Oscars. Also, during the festival, the city was filled with posters and billboards inviting attendees to watch the film and get to know better brazilian work.

BT // Broadband Nightmare

Campaign for BT home broadband.

We made a TV commercial and also some dolls inspired by the characters from the film, that were sent to digital influencers. They had a built in broadband blocker, capable of blocking out any Wi-Fi, as well as a BT broadband booster, so that you can switch between broadband haven and broadband nightmares with the flick of a button.

Taking advantage of the arrival of Halloween weekend, we launched a teaser campaign on social media with the dolls inserted in classic horror movie scenes.
