Hi, I’m Brunno Cortez.
A Creative Director and Art Director with 14+ years of experience across both General and Hispanic markets.
I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro—one of the world’s most unique cities and one of my biggest loves. Its wild contrasts and creative way of facing challenges still shape how I see things today.
Like many Brazilians in advertising, I moved to São Paulo (not easy when you're from Rio) to chase bigger ideas. After four years at JWT, I headed to the U.S. to join CP+B in Boulder. Since then, I’ve worked with some of the best minds in the industry—at agencies like Preacher in Austin and Arnold in Boston, where I was part of the team behind the agency’s most awarded year at Cannes.
Now I’m Creative Director/Head of Art at Conill Saatchi & Saatchi LA, helping turn a Hispanic-focused agency into a multicultural creative force.
Along the way, I’ve picked up a few awards—and a lot of friends.
Outside of work, you’ll find me digging through record bins, watching too many shows, or at a tiny concert no one’s heard of.
Send me an email if you want to talk—or just hear about a weird band that screams too much.
