André Laurentino, known as Dede, is Ogilvy UK's chief creative officer (CCO). Born in Brazil, he travelled to the UK aged 16 while working as an English teacher and found himself hooked on the British adverts he came across while studying the language. He went back home with a new ambition: to work in advertising.
And he's done just that, working his way up the ladder, and winning reams of creative awards along the way. Some of the most famous campaigns he's worked on include Audi, adidas, Visa, Volkswagen, Nissan and more.
