Hello, I'm Fernando Duarte, Executive Creative Director at AlmapBBDO, the agency of the decade at the Cannes Lions Festival. I've been with the agency since 2015 and have been part of the team that made it the most awarded agency in the world at Cannes in 2016, the second most awarded in 2017, and the most effective agency in Latin America at the 2022 Effie Awards.

Throughout my career, I've been honored to be recognized on prestigious lists such as ADWEEK’s “100 Most Inspiring Talents of 2021 & 15 Most Inspiring International Agency Leaders of 2021”, JWT’s “High Potential 2013”, and 2015 Cannes Young Lion Brazil.

I've had the privilege to create campaigns for some of the coolest brands worldwide, earning coveted awards like the GP (Grand Prix) in B2B at the 2023 Cannes Lions Festival and a Yellow Pencil at the 2021 D&D Awards. ONE SHOW, FIAP, El OJO, CCSP, EFFIE BRAZIL, EFFIE LATAM – you name it, I've won them all. And more than one of each. #humblebrag

Moreover, I'm immensely proud to have received Globo’s "Profissionais do Ano" award, the most prestigious award in Brazil, not just once but four times. Additionally, I've consistently had at least one finalist at it every year since 2015.

But, if awards aren't your thing, I end this little bio with other accomplishments:

• 've been a part of the team that won the pitch to retain the VW account at AlmapBBDO. Twice.
• I've led the teams that secured pitches from LG, Cielo, Elo, Perdigão, and Diageo - witch was  developed during the first weeks of the pandemic home office, when nobody knew if we were going back (or even to survive).
• I've created campaigns that have become a part of Brazilian popular culture, shared on WhatsApp, and discussed beyond the ad-sphere. Speaking of which, I'm an ad nerd. I could talk for hours about ads that I love… Maybe that’s why I don't get invited to parties.
