Marco Martins

Creative Director at Ogilvy
New York, United States

About me

Marco is a Brazilian-born Creative Director with a background in Art Direction. He firmly believes in the power of ideas that can transcend boundaries. Marco is a hands-on, multidisciplinary professional obsessed with storytelling and visual craft. He's all about collaboration, supporting teams, and creating an environment where groundbreaking and culturally relevant work can thrive. Marco has been fortunate to work on three continents, collaborating with amazing people at top-notch agencies like Wieden+Kennedy and Africa DDB. After living four exciting years in the US, he has already lent his creative talents to MullenLowe, Arnold, TBWA\Chiat\Day, and now McCann New York. Oh, and by the way, Marco wrote this himself, but he feels a bit weird talking about himself in the third person.
