About Thiago Bersou

I have been doing this brand thing for more than 15 years and have been lucky enough to work for great companies and brands like Nike, Unilever, Diageo and Pernod Ricard and world-class agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Imagination, and Havas.Even had my own agency back in 2006, pioneering social media engagement and brand content. We did cool stuff like advergames and viral videos for both agencies and brand owners in a time pre-facebook and the term YouTuber or influence marketing didn't even exist. It was fun and painful!If you have already looked at my professional history you will notice that I've done a lot: launched new products, repositioned old classic brands, developed good old TV commercials, and also a branded 1h TV Show.Led global research studies and portfolio orchestration and had a blast launching a world-first Football/Soccer Fantasy League that you can play via SMS.A natural hybrid, I have an integrated and holistic approach to business challenges. Passionate about brands and narratives, I believe in the power of creativity to transform businesses and brands.
