Hey, ho! My name is Pedro Americo, I am a Creative Director / Art Director and also the dude in that picture. I’ve done all this stuff you’ve seen here. I design things. I come up with ideas. I develop ideas and executed them. I write music. I write about music in different zines. I play different instruments. I play in a band called Die Traktor. I play with my photo camera and I also play video games. I love technology even though I write all my ideas on a notepad.
I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I love travelling, learning new languages and working abroad. Been abroad since 2007, between Romania, UK and Germany, where I am at the moment, working for McCann Germany as Executive Creative Director.. Before that, I was living in my hometown, working for different agencies and playing with my band. During all these years, I've worked for clients like Mercedes, Opel, BMW, Volkswagen, Mazda, o2, Katjes, Ikea, German Red Cross, T-Mobile, Vichy, Exxon Mobil, Coca Cola, L’Oreal, Petrobras, and many others. I got some recognitions from what I’ve done for them, but the award I am proud the most is the one I got with my brazilian band Hill Valleys for the best brazilian independent rock/pop album of the year in 2004 from Dynamite Magazine. I was also fortunate enough to be invited to participate as a judge in important festivals such as Cannes Lions, Eurobest, Cresta, D&D New Blood, Webby Awards, New York Festivals and others.
