Joanna Monteiro, Mariana S and Nicholas Bergantin join Sergio Gordilho
Africa Creative announced a strategic change in the creative area and, from now on, Sergio Gordilho, co-president and until then only CCO of the agency, now has three co-CCOs at his side: Joanna Monteiro, Mariana S and Nicholas Bergantin .
“‘Creativity’ is in our name. Ambition is in our DNA, but ‘accommodation’ is not. We are restless by nature. With the arrival of Joanna, Mariana and Nicholas, I reinforce my commitment to continuing to be this global creative powerhouse. This choice was guided by not only being incredible creative leaders, but also people that I know, like, admire and who are passionate about ideas, being aligned with my ambition”, said Gordilho.
Joanna Monteiro, elected the most creative woman in the world by Business Insider, has already been named the most admired advertiser in the country by advertising agency professionals according to a survey by Agency Scope. Furthermore, the executive is also part of the exclusive list of the 50 most creative people in the world by Advertising Age.
Meanwhile, Mariana S has an established and globally recognized career and Nicholas Bergantin returns to the agency as Executive Creative Director.
“Today we have one of the most creative and award-winning teams in the world and the position of Joanna, Nicholas and Mariana will further enhance this group. They are people with African DNA who will bring even more creativity to our teams. Placing the three as co-CCOs will further expand Africa’s creative capacity. We are honored, happy and, above all, optimistic, as changes are always welcome, especially when the team is already winning”, added Marcio Santoro, co-president of Africa Creative.
