PAULO PINTO

Senior Creative Director with 20+ years of experience at leading international agencies including Ogilvy, BBDO, DDB, McCann and FP7. Now working independently from Dubai, I help brands and agencies create campaigns that get noticed and get results.

What I can do for you:

Advertising campaign concepts, from big idea to final execution
Art direction and key visuals for print, outdoor and digital
TV and film commercial concepts and scripts
Social media campaigns and content direction
Brand strategy, positioning and identity
Pitch decks and creative presentations
Creative team leadership and agency consulting

What sets me apart:
My work has earned 2 Grand Prix, more than 25 Cannes Lions, D&AD Pencils, and awards at One Show, Clio and New York Festivals. In 2025 I served on the Cannes Lions jury. I bring that same standard to every project, whether it's a full campaign or a single key visual.

I've worked with global and regional brands across the GCC and Europe, and I understand both international standards and the local market.

I'm also a fine artist specialising in realistic pencil portraits, available for commissions and illustration work.

Let's talk about your project. I'm happy to start with a short call to understand your needs.
