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.

Making people relive Pablo Escobar escape
The only thing better than watching a good TV series, is being able to live that story Too philosophical? Hopefully the next paragraph will make sense.
To launch Narcos Season 2, we didn’t make a campaign. We made it national news.
We got newspapers, magazines and TV networks to re-publish and re-broadcast their ‘92 news about Pablo Escobar’s escape, making a lot of people re-live history and experiencing the dangers of having Pablo Escobar free again.
