about

Marcelo Carvalho

[sadly I don’t have ears]

Creative copywriter for the past 14 years.

I can't sing.
I draw the same way I did when I was five years old.
Play an instrument? Only on Rock Band.

That’s right. I’m not an artist (but I wish I could).
Here you won’t find broadway scripts, music albums
or a wooden cabin that I built last summer.

But you will find ads.
Funny ads. Effective ads. Awarded ads.

Working at GUT São Paulo since February 2023.

I know what you're thinking, and I can confirm:
Anselmo's hair is even more beautiful in person.

If you wanna ask me out for coffee, don't even think about it. I hate coffee.
