About

Bruno Guimaraes

I’m an international Creative Director with an Art Direction background. I have over 15 years of world-wide experience at top tier advertising agencies like Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO, Fallon London, FCB, Ogilvy, DDB and Area23. I have thrived as a hands-on creative and has led creative teams in both Consumer and Pharma, to successfully produce award-winning work that double as business-wining work for brands.

I absolutely love my job. It allowed me to create things like glasses that help color blind people to see color for the first time, while selling paint; and a wearable device that encourages people to chill, while selling Joe Boxer pajamas and even a TV Series that must never be seen.

Traditional or innovative, small or gigantic, idea-centered work with a high level of craft is my thing. Collaborating with, and learning from people with different backgrounds has made me a good listener and hopefully a good leader.

With my background, I am confident in my abilities to fulfill different roles within a creative agency, from developing the creative work to attending executive tasks with clients. I want to lead. I want to craft. I want to do everything to make the work awesome. I like to believe that my skill set resides somewhere in between mind and craft.

This website has a small sample of the kind of work that I’ve been doing for decades: work that positions the brand in the intersection between culture and commerce, and of course, sells what it needs to sell. I like doing it better than it has been done, saying it smarter than it has been said. Keeping it simple.

I currently live in the U.S. and I have double citizenship as a Brazilian-American person.

What other things I like to craft? I am a weekend knife maker and I love boats, so I designed one.
