My name is Diego Wortmann. I'm a Brazilian Associate Creative Director (art based) and integrated creative professional. Here you can see some of my thinking and craft abilities, through different mediums, from traditional techniques to digital ones. In my work I always search for an idea that can be both relevant content for the brand and inspiring message for the people.
Some of the things I tend to do every day is working hard, being nice to people, finding unexpected connections with craft executions. And having fun! If we are not having fun, we’re probably doing something wrong.
Son of a former soccer coach, I had the opportunity to live and visit many cities around the world. From Dubai, Doha, Riyadh, Moscow, Guangzhou, Fort Lauderdale and São Paulo. All this contact with different cultures made me really believe in the power of collaboration. I seek to learn something new everyday from anyone. And I think that when you have different backgrounds, you can find different and creative ways to communicate.
For many years, I have had the possibility of working with amazing professionals and clients, such as Coca-Cola, KIA, Jeep, Heineken, Toyota, Puma, Vizio, Olympikus, Reebok, Dodge, Tramontina, Nestlé, Listerine, Schin, Kimberly-Clark, DirecTV, Flamengo, Vivo, Pfeizer, Jollibee, among others.
I’ve also been lucky enough to have my work recognized by some of the industry’s most important award shows and publications, such as Cannes Lions, One Show, Clio, NY Festivals, El Ojo, Fiap, Wave Festival, CCSP, Lürzer's Archive and many more. And being an Young Lion.
When I’m not working, I enjoy playing sports (soccer, basketball, tennis, jiu-jitsu, swimming, yeah, i love sports), listening to rap music and staying with my family.
Please note under each idea and project my contribution as an Art Director, Associate Creative Director and/or Creative Director.
