As BCW’s Chief Creative Officer, Fede Garcia is responsible for driving powerful and provocative creative and expanding the agency’s bench of creative talent worldwide. A copywriter by training, Fede is renowned for big ideas that challenge convention, inspire delight and provoke action. With strategic rigor, a global perspective, and a track record of game-changing ideas, Fede helps BCW move people in unexpected and fascinating ways.

A native of Argentina, Fede’s 25-year career in advertising has spanned roles in Buenos Aires, Tokyo, and New York. Fede spent four years with Huge, most recently as Global Executive Creative Director, with creative oversight of the agency’s Brooklyn headquarters and key global accounts. Before that, he was Group Creative Director at Translation in New York, where he worked on the NFL, History Channel and HBO, among others. Prior to this, he spent four years with Ogilvy Tokyo, where he oversaw the creative development of celebrated campaigns for many of the agency’s premier accounts, including Coca-Cola, American Express, IBM, Citizen and more.

Guido Heffels is the co-founder and chief creative of Berlin-based communications agency HEIMAT, which also has offices in Vienna and Zurich, as well as a second agency in Berlin; HEIMAT active. Since 2014, HEIMAT is part of the global TBWA network which he (and also his two co-founding comrades Andreas and Matthias) somehow never regretted. Surprisingly enough, HEIMAT celebrated its 20th year of existence in 2019.

The roster of HEIMAT clients includes European DIY store chain Hornbach, online retailer OTTO, McDonald's, the liberal political party FDP, supermarket chain Kaufland, adidas, Netflix, Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken, BCG, Share foods, Spax, Bloomy Days as well as many others. The agency's work has been sugarcoated by all major award shows over the years, which somehow meant that they invite Guido himself to judge and praise the work of others. For no obvious reason, he was never invited to judge ADC Global which, from time to time, gives him a ruffled ego.

Contrary to popular belief, Guido still does not play golf. He does not drive a Porsche. He has not yet settled on the Island of Majorca. He does not have a dog. But he is still married to his first wife and producer Kerstin. He also has a very good relationship with his son Enno, which could be described as "more than strong" and meaningful.

He has been a member of the German Art Directors Club since 1998 (disclaimer: this doesn’t mean much but it allows him to stretch this short bio a little bit).

His most famous campaigns include Asian Paints (har ghar kuch kehta hai - every house has a story to tell), Cadbury (kuch khas hai hum sabhi mein- real taste of life), Fevicol (Fevicol ka jod hai, toote ga nahi- the unbreakable bond of Fevicol), SBI Life (heere ko kya pata tumhari umar - diamond doesn’t know your age) to name a few.  He also led the campaign that brought the BJP to national power in 2014 with the famous lines abki baar Modi Sarkar - this time Modi government and ache din aane wale hain- good days are going to come.
