I’m Rique Santiago, born and raised in Brazil.
I'm currently Head of Design at The Martin Agency, and along with my career, I was fortunate enough to have worked with incredible creatives and agencies, such as JWT, lOV/Dentsu, VMLY&R, RMG Connect (R.I.P.), and brands like Oreo, UPS, Monopoly, Ritz, Santander, Ford, Carmax, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Warner Bros, Colgate, Sony, Toyota, tic tac, Sabra.
I’ve been hashtag blessed and lucky to have my work recognized in major international and national awards, such as One Show, ADC, Clube de Criação de São Paulo, Wave Festival, and Cannes. Also, a dude tweeted he wishes someone plays the Fred Durst Carmax commercial in his funeral, and P Diddy celebrated Oreo’s Wiz Khalifa spot for portraying the love between a Black father and his son with the right narrative. Neither was paid to tweet that, and that makes me proud.
