BIO
We're José and Pedro. And vice-versa.
An independent, multidisciplinary, hands-on creative director team, leading and crafting local, pan-European, and global work out of Berlin.

Pedro's portfolio & linkedin
Along our 20-year journey in the advertising world, we’ve had the privilege to collaborate with (and learn from) some of the brightest minds in the industry at agencies like DDB Berlin, adam&eve London, Jung von Matt Hamburg, Sid Lee Amsterdam, AKQA, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, and Ogilvy Barcelona. We’re especially proud to have been part of the founding team that started Innocean Berlin and helped turn it into one of the most successful and awarded agencies in Germany.
First as creatives, and then also as CDs, we’ve conquered new (and retained existing) business, mentored young talent, led multidisciplinary teams and multimillion Euro projects, and created award-winning campaigns for brands such as Volkswagen, adidas, Nike, Sony, Hyundai, Kia, Vodafone, Mercedes, Back Market and Coca-Cola.
Some of this work went on to win lions, pencils and other shiny trophies, some made it to the 8 o'clock news and the Great Sphinx of Giza (true story!), and one still lives in the permament collection of the Poster House Museum in New York.
And since we’re bragging, we also make a mean team at karaoke parties. Just ask the nice and VERY patient people at Green Mango's karaoke bar.
