Hey there! I'm Filipe, and here's my career kaleidoscope, shaken, not stirred.

I came into the creative pool of advertising agencies in 2008, coming up with campaigns for an A-list of brands, including (but not limited to) Volvo, Vodafone, and Samsung. While my bread and butter was copywriting, my secret sauce was design, serving up visuals for Vanity Fair, Adobe, and even Lancôme Paris with projects like Star Wars Flat Design or Lâncome ♥ Women.

In 2012, my team and I won the Eurobest Young Lions title, embarking on an international competition with other young creatives. The creative cosmos aligned once again in 2014 as I took home the Young Lions Competitions for Cannes Lions, earned a seat on ADC*E's Young Board, and sparked creativity in young minds at EDIT school.

The force was with me in 2015, as my Star Wars Illustration Project blasted off, with features in Vanity Fair, Fubiz, Adobe, and the Hero Complex Gallery, LA.

Buckle up, because 2016 shot me off to Qatar to join TripleTwo, working with heavy-hitters like Qatar Airways and Al Jazeera. By 2017, I'd moved to Dubai, where Leo Burnett and I worked with global brands like McDonald's and local stars like Emirates NBD.

In 2019, I stepped into the ACD role at MullenLowe, leading major brands like CityCentre, First Abu Dhabi Bank, and Dubai Tourism.

In 2021, I took on two distinctive roles. At Citron, a Dubai start-up specialising in high-quality tableware, I contributed to shaping the brand's identity and expanding its reach from a few regional countries to 50 and counting. At the same time, as Head of Creativity and Design at Grand'Ideia, I infused Portugal's events scene with fresh ideas, leaving a lasting mark on the brand's visual identity, and breathing new life into Grand'Ideia from top to bottom.

Since 2022, I've been sautéing creativity as Head of Copy for both Demind and Bulldozer Group. Balancing a mix of voices across diverse concepts, I craft fresh, distinctive campaigns every week, from French elegance to Greek warmth, Italian charm, Iberian spirit, and Japanese authenticity. Every brand gets its own unique flavour.

And here's the grand finale: Some of my work has been awarded at prestigious galas like Cannes Lions, Eurobest, New York Festivals, Webby Awards, The Loeries, Dubai Lynx, El Sol, FIAP, Portuguese Creative Club, and Prémios Sapo. The creative spark within me continues to ignite the industry, but in a different area, as the restaurants that I work for have been distinguished year after year as best in class in their category at the likes of  What's On Dubai Awards or Time Out Dubai Restaurant Awards. 

Now, for the encore? Well, I'm no C3PO, but I do juggle three languages - English, Portuguese, and French. With my diverse skill set and a trail of creativity, I'm ready to take on whatever comes next.
