JUAN IGNACIO GALARDI
INDEPENDENT CREATIVE COPYWRITER.
Argentina-Italy.
Hello!
A little bit about me:
I started my marathon at Leo Burnett Argentina in 2006. I say marathon and not career because the road is long and you have to go slowly so you don't get burned: I went through La Negra, which was the first agency founded by Martín Mercado. Then I worked at the emblematic Young & Rubicam Argentina where I was appointed Creative Director. Years later I was summoned to be part of the founding team of Mercado McCann. I made a brief, very brief visit to Santo Buenos Aires until I was offered to creatively manage another prestigious agency in Argentina: Ponce Buenos Aires.
Some of the most well known clients that i have worked for are:
Coca Cola, Axe, Fox, YPF (Oil Company), Quilmes (most famous argentinian beer brand), Directv, Banco Galicia (bank), Arcor (candy, cookies, chocolates, etc. brand), Movistar (communications), Personal (communications),TyC Sports.
Currently choose to work independently and collaboratively on communication projects, surrounded by excellent professionals from different disciplines from Italy to the world. My wish for my future career is that my creativity will be helpful for society and sustainable for the environment.
