about

Marcelo Carvalho

Creative copywriter for the past 15 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.

Now working at AlmapBBDO, the Cannes Lions Global Agency of the Decade.

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