ABOUT RAFA OLIVEIRA

Green Card Holder | Portfolio: there!This is Rafa, like the tennis player. But our similarities end here, unfortunately.I\'m an award-winning Associate Creative Director/Art passionate about concepting 360º ideas that make people laugh, cry, open their minds and their wallets. Budweiser, Manscaped, Kroger, Visa, Fiat and Santander are some brands I’ve tried my best so far. Over the past 18 years, I\'ve had the privilege of working with top-notch international agencies such as DDBs (Africa DDB and DM9DDB), Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, and VMLY & R.My work has been recognized in international awards, including 7 Cannes Lions, some pencils on D & AD and The One Show. Also on Clio, London Awards, Effie and others.Don’t let the awards fool you. I\'ve also played a part in helping VML Y&R win 2 important accounts for the agency: Visa and Santander. And scored new business opportunities for DDB New York as well.Like the other Rafa, I love playing tennis. This sport has taught me a lot about quick thinking, developing strategies, and staying present in the moment. I also enjoy scuba diving, reading, and cinema. Fun fact: I wrote and directed a short film in 2021, which you can watch on the \"side projects\" tab on my portfolio.Born in Rio, based in NY.
