Hi, my name is Marilu.
I am a creative with 19 years of experience.

Most of these years were spent in São Paulo, Brazil. Working for agencies such as Leo Burnett, Y&R, DM9DDB, Ogilvy, FCB, AfricaDDB, TribalDDB and LewLara\tbwa.
I say “most”, because in-between all of the above, I had the opportunity to live and work in Portugal at Leo Burnett Lisbon for 2 years.

In 2006, when I was 23, I was selected as a Young Lion to attend the Cannes Lions Festival. On that note, I have also won several awards in advertising festivals worldwide, and even was invited to judge some of them like: Gerety Awards, Effie Awards Brazil, Ciclope Latino, and CCSP- as president of the juri.

At the beginning of 2018, I joined AfricaDDB as Creative Director. And within a year, I moved into a different agency part of the same group, TribalDDB, with a greater focus on digital and technology.

Now, I'm part of the amazing LewLAra\TBWA's team, creating disruptive ideas for our local and global clients.

And finally, when I am not helping to build brands, I am creating for kids.
In 2012, I published my first children’s book titled “A menina reclamona”. And in 2020, I Published “O que faço com esse buraco", a book about grief that was awarded by Unesco.

Nice meeting you here and if you want to talk some more, please reach me at marilu.rodrigues@hotmail.com
