It's-a-me: Mari 🏳️🌈 (they/them)
Oh, hello there. Although I'm passionate about stories, I'd rather tell the long-story-short version first.

Before that, I worked as Group Creative Director at Media.Monks, and as Copywriter at Droga5 Dublin, FCB Brazil, Ogilvy São Paulo, Publicis São Paulo, JWT, Y&R.
I'm also writer and director of A Cabeça, a political horror podcast based on a true story.

Interested in the long story? Drop me a line.
