HELLO THERE

I’m Adriano Eliezer, a strategy director at Publicis Dublin.

After a stint in the music industry, and while graduating in social communications, I kicked off my career in advertising agencies at Publicis São Paulo. After that, I worked for several different networks, such as TBWA, VMLY&R, JWT, and BBDO, in Brazil, Germany and Ireland, ideating for European, South American, and Asian markets.

I’ve created strategies for a multitude of clients, such as Volkswagen, Honda, Nissan, Heineken, Diageo, P&G, Nestlé, Adidas, Fox, Citibank, and many others. I’ve also built up a marketing operation from scratch while co-managing a music-tech start-up whose brand recognition sprung from zero to hero in only three years. At the time, I exchanged emails with Pete Townshend and I'm convinced that was the peak of my career.

Over the years, I was awarded best strategist under 30 years old at Cannes Lions, best creative brief writing by the SP.APG and a few of my campaigns won recognitions such as the Effies, Sharks, ICADs, Lovies, as well as featured in the Lürzer’s Archive.

Apart from work, work, work, I'm a Committee Member of the Dublin Simon Community, and a tutor and mentor at Miami Ad School Toronto. In the past, I also held a position as communications advisor for the Forest Doctors Association (Médicos da Floresta), an NGO that provides medical care to hard-to-reach native communities in the Amazon forest.

I’ve created music of questionable quality for about two decades, and over the past two years, I've had a jolly time dedicating myself to street photography - you can find some of that work in this website and on Instagram. I might link other artistic ventures here once I finally decided they won't ruin my dignity forever.
