My name is Alberto. For the last four years, I was the brand and creative manager of urban cycling and technology company Blaze, now known as Beryl, for which I built their brand from a strategic, visual and creative angle. Previous to that, I worked as an advertising creative at agencies in London, including BBH, TBWA and Don’t Panic, where I developed campaigns and content for a wide range of brands combining strategic and creative thinking. I've always been interested in the visual and emotional side of brands, storytelling, and in seeking opportunities to contribute to society in direct and meaningful ways—in the majority of the occasions, this has come from collaborations with start-ups, independent culture associations, and non-profit organisations. I am constantly looking to take part in fulfilling and rewarding projects alongside nice, like-minded people. Design, film, and music are disciplines I find particularly fascinating, as well as any other opportunities to contribute to the spread of culture and to create a better world. My experience encompasses brand strategy, visual identity, creative and content direction.
