About me

15 years ago I’ve started as Art Director in Darwin Social Noise. Than I’ve joined M&C Saatchi in 2010, where I stayed 5 years collecting some awards:
• Cannes Lions: 3 Bronze, 2 Shortlist.
• Young Lions Competition: Gold.
• New York Festival: 1 Bronze, 3 Silver.
• ADCI Awards: 2 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze, 4 Shortlist.
• PromaxBDA Awards: 1 Silver.
And working on super cool clients.

In 2015 I started as Senior in Y&R, developing concepts and executing creative projects across social, digital and traditional media. Main Clients: Lavazza Global, McDonald’s, Vodafone, Unicef in Y&R.

Then I moved to Havas where I’ve led cross-functional creative teams to develop concepts and execute creative projects across social, digital and traditional media.
Awards:
• ADCI Awards: 1 Shortlist.
• Eurobest Country Selection: Gold.

My last experience before approaching the independent agencies’ world was in Wunderman Thompson as Creative Director (and Head of Branded Content, and yes, I’ve started when it was JWT) where I’ve directed the overall creative process from concept to completion in client-facing environment, creating and presenting work while mentoring junior creative teams.
Led cross-functional senior creative teams to develop concepts and execute creative projects across social, digital and traditional media.
