My name is Claudio Eduardo Vieira and I'm a Creative Director with a background in Art Direction. My thing is to come up with great ideas in a world that doesn't have time for bad ones.

I’ve been working in advertising for 15+ years, delivering insightful 360° campaigns, socially relatable content, and visually striking experiences for brands such as Nissan, Renault, Dacia, Volvo, Lexus (yes, I love cars), Vodafone, Guinness, Smirnoff, Carlsberg, Pot Noodle, Knorr, Magnum, Tesco, and many others.

My work has been recognized with more than 20 international awards, but most importantly, it has engaged people, the media and caught the eyeballs that brands are looking (and paying) for.
