Experience

Started out as an art director back in 2013. Then I decided to give copywriting a shot, but had to freelance for a bit to convince others it was the right move.

HEINZ
TATTOO INK


Heinz is one of the most tattooed brands in the world. But unfortunately for their fans, red ink is made with the worst ingredients and is getting banned in some places because of how harmful it can be.

So, we teamed up with Electric Ink for 14 months to research, develop, and launch Heinz Tattoo Ink. A red ink made with Heinz's quality in it – using the best ingredients only.

We also crafted flash tattoo sheets that were made available to everyone, in partnership with five Brazilian tattooers. Not only was their art tattooed organically by fans, but also printed on bootlegged shirts sold online.

CIF
CLEARING PLOTS


If the main characters were really into cleanliness, a bunch of horror movies wouldn't last more than 15 seconds. And not only would they save their own skins, but they'd also save everyone else's time.

That's why we created a series of films  inspired by those classic horror gems, all showing how Cif makes life easier for those who use it.








FORD ECOSPORT
NO SQUEAK BROADCAST


The Ford EcoSport is the Brazilian Basketball League’s official sponsor, and to introduce its new anti-skid technology, we partnered with Fox Sports to remove part of the game from the finals: the sound of shoe squeaking on the court.

HEINZ
SPOOKY INGREDIENTS


Heinz Tomato Ketchup is made using only ingredients of natural origin, while other brands put some hair-raising stuff in their products.

So, on Halloween 2022, we teamed up with artist Jun Ioneda to create a horror short film starring those scary ingredients found in other brands of ketchup and played it in movie theaters where fans were gifted with exclusive cups and popcorn buckets.

SPOTIFY BRAZIL
SUMMER 2k24


Summer is made of great moments, but also of crappy ones. Parties that don't live up to expectations, heavy traffic, storms at the beach, and heatwaves. But no matter the moment – good or bad – Spotify makes them all better.

So, we came up with a tagline – 'save my summer' – and used it to turn everything into floats. After all, just like music, they've been saving us all every summer.
