Freelance Consultant / Digital Strategist | present
As a freelancer, I’ve had the opportunity to work as a planner and strategist for some of the top agencies in Brazil – Y&R/WPP, Wunderman/WPP, Pong Dinasty/IPG, Publicis Red Lion and Artplan, among others – and for international agencies – such as eLace Media Services (Uruguay), Hogarth Worldwide (UK) and World Writers/Tag Worldwide (UK). I’ve also been a guest professor at Perestroika Creativity School and a lecturer at events such as Social Media Week and Social Media Brasil.

NEW VEGAS | Partner, Planning Director | Aug 2012–April 2014
Founded in 2010 as a social media and relationship marketing agency, New Vegas started to grow its business and offerings by 2012 with a focus in becoming more of a creative hotshop. Named as one of Brazil’s “Agencies to Keep an Eye On” by Folha de S. Paulo, in 2012, it is widely recognized as one of the top agencies in the country for content marketing and social media strategy.

As a partner, I was then responsible for planning this transition and acting as a de facto Operations Manager, creating workflows, setting teams and budgets, and helping plan what the company wanted to be and how to properly get there. Also, as Planning Director it was my responsibility to oversee both creative and strategic planning processes, be it during pitches, content planning strategies or business consultancies when necessary. For all the creative work, I worked very closely with the creative team and the Creative Director with the goal of merging both planning and creative duties into one single process.
