Hallo, hello, olá…
I'm Rodrigo Santos
Senior Art Director at VML Germany
With over 15 years of experience in the advertising industry, including 5 years in Germany (I am proficient in both German and English), I have a strong passion for combining creative concepts with craft, and I thoroughly enjoy the process of creating films and integrated campaigns.
Prior to my time in Germany, I contributed to impactful campaigns at Leo Burnett in Brazil, working with renowned clients such as Bradesco Bank, Heineken, Ferrero, Fiat, Jeep, Kellogg's, and Walt Disney. Before that, I gained valuable experience at JWT and RAPP. In 2018, I had the honor of contributing to Leo Burnett's recognition as the Agency of the Year at Caboré, an esteemed award in the Brazilian communications, marketing, and media industry.
My educational journey includes studying at two prestigious creativity, art, and design institutions in Brazil: Miami Ad School and Panamericana School of Art and Design. These experiences immersed me in the worlds of art, design, photography, typography, and illustration, fostering my problem-solving creativity.
The culmination of my years of dedication, learning, and enjoyment is reflected in the body of work I have amassed throughout my career. I hope you enjoy exploring it as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
