BIO
SHINY THINGS
& GIGS
Hey there. Thanks for stopping by. I usually prefer to talk about trips, music, food, or advertising rather than speaking about myself - which doesn’t help in this particular case. I also like communicating through a variety of formats, often using visual elements and crafting them to hopefully evoke some kind of emotion. Once again, writing this bio may not contribute much to this aspect, but perhaps my work does.
In any case, my name is Gonçalo and I am a Portuguese Creative Lead & Senior Art Director based in Berlin. Currently, I am part of Jung von Matt SPREE.
Over the course of 12+ years, I have had the opportunity to work with local, regional and global clients, such as Mercedes-Benz, Anne Frank House, Mercedes-Maybach, Hyundai, Kia, Sony or Nivea. At agencies full of talented people like LOLA Mullen Lowe, FCB Lisbon, Innocean Berlin or antoni_.

During these years I was fortunate enough to see my work recognised more than 150 times, locally and internationally, including all the major festivals such as Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clio Awards, The One Show, ADC Global, Cresta, Eurobest, MAD Stars, The Webby Awards among others. In 2018, I also had the opportunity to become an advertising teacher, which, to this day, remains one of the best experiences of my career.
Are you still here? If yes, thank you for making it this far. Enough about me. If you liked what you saw here, drop me a line and let's talk. :)
