FILM & RADIO JURY

Marcos Kotlhar


Executive Creative Director, BBDO New York, USA

Born in Brazil. Graduated in fine arts from The Cooper Union in New York. I’ve done a bunch of different things from working with animation at MTV networks in New York (back when music videos ruled the world), to branding, fashion, editorial design…

In 2005, I switched over to advertising. I joined AlmapBBDO in São Paulo where i’ve had the opportunity to work with with great clients on both national and global campaigns for Havaianas, Getty Images, Visa, HP, Volkswagen and others.

In 2014 I felt like taking a break from Brazil. I came back to New York to work as a Creative and Head of Design at BBH NY. It was a great move and I got to write scripts and make big awesome spots for Playstation.

Currently im working at BBDO NY as an ECD for Grey Goose Vodka, Bacardí, Bombay Sapphire and a few other fine booze products.

I Try to keep the work interesting and challenging by keeping the process different. Someone way starter than me (i can’t remember who or find on google) said that ordinary process will give you ordinary results. Love to get my hands dirty and most of the work you see here, from animations to interactive installations where done with these very own hands.

So far, it’s been quite rewarding and my work has been recognized with some nice awards. Specially proud of my ADC young guns cube, Cannes Press Grand Prix and three D&AD yellow pencils.
