ME
I'm Tomás Oliva, an independent freelance Creative Director based in Barcelona, with over 25 years of experience in advertising, brand strategy and creative direction.
I work directly with brands and agencies, developing ideas, campaigns and creative strategies that make a difference.
I try to understand human beings well enough to make some of them change their minds about a product, a service, a brand, an institution or an idea.
I have led integrated agencies (on/off) with a strong creative profile, where research and strategy were as important as creativity.
I have been a jury at international festivals such as the Festival el Sol or the Golden Hammer Awards, a teacher at creativity schools such as Complot, Zink, The School of Everything, or a lecturer at the Spanish Creative Club, the University of the Basque Country or the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
What i like the most about advertising, like David Abbot said once, is doing it.
To sit down, think, rethink, write, lay out, craft together with many others to do it.
