Hi, I'm Otávio. But you can call me Tavinho.
A Brazilian creative with an EU passport (Italian citizenship), currently living in São Paulo - Brazil.
I’ve been working as an integrated copywriter in worldwide communication companies for the past 14 years.
Experience
After starting my career at SantaClaraNitro, I joined Publicis Brasil, followed by BETC/Havas where I’ve worked for over 5 years. Then, I decided to experience a 100% digital agency, Sapient Ag2. After that, I worked as a senior copywriter at Africa and, right after, at WMccann/Commonwealth for 2 years. Until I was invited to be a Creative Manager at Tradersclub, a startup in the financial market. My next stop was at Modal, a digital bank, also as a Creative Manager. Right now, I'm working as a Creative Director at We, a Brazilian independent agency, developing strategies and creating special projects for several clients from different markets.
I have over 14 years of experience in integrated campaigns - traditional and digital advertising -, and social media and creative strategies for global and local brands.
My skills allow me to lead a team, drive creative insights, plan a campaign, develop its strategy, and conceptualize creating ideas for all kinds of media.
Some clientes I have worked with: Chevrolet, Modal Bank, Lupo, EMS (Pharmaceutical Industry), Citroën, Coca-Cola (Coke), BB Insurance, Braskem, FOX Channels, Reckitt Benckiser, Vivo, L'oreal, Ambev (Brahma), Danone, Shopee, Nycomed (Neosaldina) and Walmart.
