Action4 is one of Portugals leading creative and strategic Brand Activation agencies.
Embracing the Art / Creative Direction for a newly conquered client (Vodafone) was the challenge when i was invited to join Action4 back in 2007.
I helped to shape innovative concepts into powerful projects, mostly focused on Brand Activation, Branding and new business. Always in close contact with the clients and a wonderful team by my side, i had many times the opportunity to unify my skills in Print, Web, Mobile, TV, Video and Installation Design into one integrated concept.
Bringing life to projects like Vodafone FM, Vodafone Mexefest, Yorn Cinema, Vodafone Música and working for clients like Vodafone, Siemens, Galp and Hertz was a true honor.
