About Armando Ceron

Side A:Designing creative experiences with innovative technology that impact growth and create a culture for brands, ad agencies, and tech companies. As a versatile leader with a rich background in creative advertising, marketing, content creation, UI/UX, branding, business strategy, and product design I’ve become a generalist and specialist. Highly skilled in compelling campaigns, building digital products, platform narratives, and audience-grabbing immersive experiences for top Fortune 500 global brands Google, Sony, Marvel, Meta, Riot Games, and early-stage startups.My edge in creative problem-solving stems from leveraging emerging technologies such as AR/MR/VR/XR, AI, and a creative tech stack including spatial computing to engage the senses and deliver experiences that push beyond business expectations while leading to a path of imagination. Proven expertise on over 75+ brand projects that delivered $1B in enterprise value and revenue. Bullish of the transformative possibilities of Web3, synthetic media, and generative AI. Side B:I've helped early-stage startups successfully raise over $100M experience from Pre-seed to series B startups as a creative consultant and fractional advisor assisting with GTM strategy, design, PMF, MVP, deal flow, partnerships, JVs, and pitch deck strategies. As a specialist with a wide range of skills that solve complex problems and meet or exceed business goals, I'm addicted in utilizing new ideas to explore blue ocean strategies.Outside of work, I’m passionate about social issues and their impact on our society. I have a few bootstrapped social impact-driven products in development targeting financial literacy and wealth-creation tools for minorities. I'm always looking to connect with those interested in disruption and innovation and paying it forward to create a legacy worth leaving behind. 🙌
