Andre Galhardo’s Summary

After working for 15 years as an Art Director in leading brazilian agencies, recently I've become a Creative Planner.

In other words, a professional who mixes creative and strategic thinking to solve problems. (Sometimes creating new ones.)

My objective is to design new kinds of campaigns, interaction platforms and experiences for brands and consumers, focusing on concepts + ideas + innovation.

Because yesterday's solutions aren't fit for today's problems anymore, we must help companies innovate "design thinking" for their businesses - embedding marketing into products.

Right- and left-brainers, let´s reinvent advertising.
