About me

Hi, I'm Sebas, a creative director and copywriter.
My love for advertising is second only to my first addiction: TV. I'm even trying (and failing) to write a series. I guess that's why I'm obsessed with creating attention-grabbing and consistent narratives for the brands I've worked for, some of which have been recognized at international festivals like El Ojo de Iberoamérica, El Sol, Effie, BestIN, and Eurobest.
