Hi, my name is Alexandre but you can call me Alex.
I'm a Creative Director with a background in Art Direction,
originally from Brazil. I hold triple citizenship — Brazilian,
Australian, and Italian (yes, it’s possible!).
I’m based in Sydney,currently working
as a Creative Director/Art at Ogilvy.

I've been working in advertising for over 15 years
in big and medium sized agencies such as DDB, McCann,
VML and Fox Sports, among others.
During this time I worked for clients like McDonald’s,
KFC, Dove, Fox Sports, Volkswagen, Coca-Cola and many others,
learning and sharing experiences with lots of incredible people.

I am always focused and self-motivated, either working
independently or collaborating with a team.
Passionate about conceptual ideas and crafted execution,
I believe my best project is yet to come.

Unlike most Brazilians, I don’t like soccer,
but I am a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and I love surfing
(and hey, Brazil has 7 world titles!)
so I think I can confirm my Brazilian origins.
I am married to my love and father of two girls.

So if you need more information
or just want to grab a coffee, feel free to contact me.
