NATURA CHRONOS, #2old4this Campaign

_For Natura, I led the creative team and created a strong and bold concept/creative strategy for the Natura Chronos' #2old4this Campaign, leading to:

- Over 200.000 interactions on Social Media, in less than one month

- 12.000.000 women reached in the first week alone - 10% of the BR female population

- Day one - 4 Tweets/minute using the campaign hashtag #VelhaPraIsso (#2old4this), an instant Twitter case

- Earned Media - hundreds of old (and new) media outlets giving us spontaneous (and free) media space and buzz

- Nearly 30% of the target audience reached organically, generating a R$ 0,01 CPV

UBER, SOCIAL MEDIA AND CREATIVE AOR (Agency of Record)

_I was the Group Creative Director and Head of Creative at A-LAB/Artplan for the Uber account from Jan 2022 to Jul 2023, and the results were impressive:

- we went from 340.000 to 780.000 active followers (more than doubled the fanbase) in less than 6 months, relying primarily on organic and collabs with creators - who naturally acted as Uber Ambassadors in a fun, authentic way

- I've also Co-conceived, created, and implemented the Creators Hub, a pro-level team focused on creating and managing tailor-made branded content under the Creators Economy premise. After starting with Uber, we successfully implemented it for other

brands (such as Itaú Bank). The Creators Hub, then, became an independent - and profitable - BU for the company

- Such success allowed us a 120% increase in the annual seven-figure fee from 2022 to 2023

NATURA MAKEUP, WOMEN Campaign

_Also for Natura (but for the Makeup line), I was ahead of the team responsible for releasing the successful instant hit Women, leading to:

- 780.000.000 (yes, millions) impacts

- 34 Million views (hero video + tutorials)

- 239.000 visits to the campaign landing page during the first 2 (two) weeks

- 391.000 content interactions on Social Media

FORD, 360º GUIDE Immersive Platform

_For Ford, I was responsible for the concept, creative, and interactive direction for a work that:

- It was supposed to be launched only in Brazil, but due to the positive response and feedback, it was also launched in Argentina, Chile, Australia, South Africa, Thailand, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, to name a few countries

- generated more than R$ 5,500,000,00 for my company (Broders - Creative and Production house) in the first year

HEINEKEN + KLM AIRLINES, WORLD TRIP SOCIAL GAME

_For the world-famous Dutch brands, I had the chance to create a real-time - and real-flights - social game that resulted in:

- 811.646 real-time trips created in two weeks
