About

I'm a 33 year-old award winning brazilian senior copywriter and a big SNL and Os Normais fan, currently working as Freelance Senior Copywriter

︎
São Paulo -> Sydney -> Shanghai -> São Paulo -> Miami -> São Paulo






My work so far has won 6 Cannes Lions (2 Gold, 1 Silver, 3 Bronze), 3 D&AD Pencils as well as One Show, NY Festivals and Clio. In 2016, I was chosen among 200 candidates to represent Brazil at Cannes Young Lions Festival where my partner and I got Bronze.

I approach advertising as my own Studio 8H from SNL, concepting ideias that can sell a brand POV, no matter how wild they seem, always trying to bring a little bit of fun in it.

In my spare time, I make bloc parties for 10.000 people (really!) and write about life, love and Despacito. Here’s a picture of me having a blast on Brazil’s cable TV.

ELMA CHIPS | SEND ME A PIX PROMO

Creating a character that thought brazillians how to make profit out of snacks

PIX is a new money transfer system similiar to Venmo, where the money hits your account instantly. It has even become a meme in Brazil, with people asking celebrities on Twitter to send a PIX to pay for pizzas and other random things.

That's why Elma Chips - Pepsico's snack division - created the Send Me a Pix Promo, where people just had to buy snacks for a chance to receive instant PIX money prizes.

Concepting for this campaign, we thought to ourselves: if you buy a $1 Snack and can win up to $200.00, that's a great investmet.

So, we created a financial coach - a profession that was blowing in YouTube at the time - to teach consumers how to profit from snacks by entering the promo.
