Augusto Correia
Senior Creative Art Director Grey Brasil
ABOUT

Augusto Correia

Augusto Correia, aka Jesus, is a senior creative art director, currently working at Grey Brasil. He believes advertising has only 2 ways to be relevant: being useful or being entertaining. With that in mind he was lucky enough to earn over 440 awards through the years, including Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, Clio Awards, Effie, New York Festivals, Webby Awards, FWA, Epica, El Ojo, Young Guns among others.

He also holds a chair as a Miami Ad School mentor, teaching creativity and case video storytelling.

At Artplan, the biggest indenpendent agency in Brazil, he was key to raising the "digital creative" perception from 46th in 2011 to 7th in 2012. 

He topped 1st place worldwide on Creative and Art Directors Rankings in Best Ads website for 2014 and was named "Newcomer of the Year" by Creative Pool for 2016.

At Grey, his work helped the agency to be the most Brazilian awarded agency at Cannes Lions for the second time in a row.

His work had several social impacts. The “What Family Means” project managed to change the meaning of the word "family" in dictionaries to help non-traditional familes to keep their rights. “Priceless Pets” helped more than 500 animals to get adopted in a year and became a bill to change the law. "Miles for the People" reverted to the people the air miles generated through politicians' air tickets paid with public money. And became a law.

Bruce Lee
Founding and Chief Creative Partner IPNY, Inc.
ABOUT

Bruce Lee

Bruce got his start in advertising by winning a copywriter contest. The job was writing direct mail for Ogilvy & Mather, but it wasn’t advertising. It was direct marketing. He stayed for three years, learning sales psychology and lessons in getting results that would eventually help him reach the top creative positions at Ammirati & Puris, Scali McCabe Sloves, Leo Burnett, Grey, Wunderman and OgilvyOne.

Bruce has spent his career in brand advertising and digital marketing. He horrified direct marketers by introducing creative based on ideas rather than tried-and-true formula; and made brand people nervous with work that looked like brand advertising yet asked for the order. With one foot in brand and the other in digital/direct, Bruce was doing integrated marketing years before it had a name. 

In 2012, Bruce founded IPNY with partners who had a history of getting results. IPNY is a brand positioning and messaging company that grows clients bothcreatively and measurably.To date they have created brand launch campaigns for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, WNET THIRTEEN, City of Hope Medical Center, Bluemercury, Fisher Investments, E*Trade, AstoriaBank,The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Weizmann Institute and the Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy.

Over the years, Bruce has worked on blue chip brands in nearly every category, from

automotive (Hertz, Jaguar, Oldsmobile, Volvo) to software and hardware companies

(Apple, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Compaq, Sony) and from financial services (Allstate, American Express, Ameritrade, Citibank, E*Trade, MasterCard) to travel (Air France, Continental Airlines, Four Seasons Hotels, United Airlines,), not to mention retail (Bloomingdale’s, Sears), telecommunications (AT&T, Time Warner Cable, T-Mobile) and CPG (Kraft, Unilever), with many more such as UPS, Nikon and McDonald’s. Some of the dozens of launch campaigns he developed became part of popular culture, like his Emmy finalist campaign for Ameritrade that inspired President Clinton’s White House Correspondents Dinner film, or his American Idol campaign for AT&T Wireless that jumpstarted America’s texting obsession.                                                                                      

Most recently Bruce spent 11 years as North American Creative Director of OgilvyOne,

which he helped transform from a stumbling agency to the growth engine of Ogilvy & Mather. He was instrumental in the agency becoming the world’s most awarded direct and interactive agency, with multiple Gold, Silver and Best of Show awards. He served as Chairman of the OgilvyOne Worldwide Creative Council and for over a decade judged the agency’s worldwide creative product.
