Fred Saldanha

Global Chief Creative Officer, Colgate-Palmolive at VMLY&R
New York, Stati Uniti

Riassunto

With a 30-year career in advertising, what Fred always feared was to settle into a comfort zone.

Throughout these years he has worked in distinct markets such as Lisbon, London, São Paulo, New York and Boston. From a copywriter to a creative leader, from a marketing manager to a co-founder of a startup, he has always sought a place where he could work with brands he loves, and with people he admires.

He has collected more than 40 Cannes Lions for brands like Coca-Cola, Sprite, Unicef, Motorola, Forbes, Hellman's and Fiat, among other awards like D&AD, Webbys, LIA, One Show and Clio.

He has been a jury in the most recognized advertising festivals, such as Cannes, One Show, D&AD and, in 2015, he was named one of the '30 most creative people in advertising by Business Insider.
