ABOUT ME
More than 250 international awards, including 41 Cannes Lions.
Throughout his career, he has worked in Brazil, Portugal, and the UK at well-known advertising agencies such as Africa DDB, Grey Brazil, Leo Burnett (Brazil and Portugal), DM9DDB Brazil, Ogilvy, and others.
His work has been recognized at major award festivals such as Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, London International Awards, Clio, New York Festivals, Effie Awards, and many more. Bruzza represented Brazil in the 2011 Young Lions Competition at the Cannes Festival. Also, in the same year, he won the first Gold Lion for Brazil in the Direct category.
In 2013, my professional life changed with the work VEM PRA RUA (Come to the Streets) for Fiat Automobiles. The term "Vem pra Rua" went beyond advertising and became part of the protests against the government. It has become part of Brazilian culture and is still used today. Also in 2013, two of my works were included in the GAME CHANGERS book, published to celebrate the Cannes Festival's 60th anniversary, highlighting work that changed our industry.
At Grey Brazil, the agency won more creative and effectiveness awards than ever before, becoming Grey Global's #1 most creative shop. The agency was also recognized as the most innovative Brazilian agency for three years in a row (2016, 2017, 2018) and the Brazilian agency with the most awards at Cannes in 2018 and 2019.
As a Creative Director at Africa, he was responsible for successful projects for brands such as Brahma (Brazil's most popular beer), Budweiser, Heinz, and many others, helping the agency become one of the most creative and awarded in the world in recent years. The project FOAMY HAIRCUT was one of the most awarded Brazilian works at Cannes, with 7 trophies, 3 of them in the Social & Influencer category (gold, silver, and bronze), making Africa DDB the Engagement Agency of the Year.
Since June 2022, Bruzza has been VP Creative Director at BETC HAVAS São Paulo, where he has won several awards, including the first Entertainment for Music Lion trophy for the Havas Group.
