Hey!
I’m Marco, international art director living in Berlin.
My experience in advertising has brought me from Italy to Germany, passing through some of the main industry networks such as Ogilvy, DDB, Leo Burnett, McCann and Publicis.
I believe in the power of ideas built on true human insights.
I have a deep knowledge of brand storytelling and a keen eye for detail. This enables me to bring innovative ideas to life, across various platforms. Working with team mentality and perseverance, my creative projects have received recognitions from some of the industry’s most important award shows.
But here are few things about me you won’t find in google.
I’m a proud nerd of typography, classic art, design, cinema and comics. My passion for drawing started as a kid, inspired by my grandad who was a painter. My go to activities when I want to recharge are hiking in nature and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
If you want to know more about me let’s have a coffee, or better yet a proper Italian espresso.
Feel free to stalk me on LinkedIn or shoot me an email at marcozilioli@gmail.com
