Hallo, hello, olá…

Hello there!

 

Hallo, hello, olá…

I'm Rodrigo Santos, a Brazilian creative based in Germany.

With more than 10 years of experience in advertising and design industry, the last five in Germany, I have a passion for combining creative concepts with craft, as well as a special love for the whole process of creating films and integrated campaigns.

In Brazil, I had the opportunity to work at Leo Burnett, where I developed campaigns for major clients such as Bradesco Bank, Heineken, Ferrero, Fiat, Jeep, Kellogg's and Walt Disney. Prior to that, I gained valuable experience at JWT and RAPP.

One of the highlights of my career was helping Leo Burnett win Agency of the Year at the Caboré Awards, a highly respected award in Brazil's communications, marketing and media industry.

I’m able to work in German, English and Portuguese, which has been incredibly useful in my day-to-day work and my educational background has also been crucial in my journey. I studied at two of Brazil's most prestigious schools for creativity, art and design: Miami Ad School and Panamericana School of Art and Design. These experiences immersed me in the world of art, design, photography, typography and illustration, and helped me develop my creative problem-solving skills.

And finally, an important detail: I’m eligible to work in Germany without needing a visa.
