I aspired to become a professional football player, but as a young player, I faced rejection from some club academies. However, I like to draw parallels between my advertising career and a footballing journey. I kickstarted my career in my home country, where I joined some of the most prominent teams, such as Ogilvy, FCB, Lowe, and JWT. Subsequently, I achieved what every South American player dreams of: catching the attention of a European club. I made my move to Madrid to play for Lola, where I enjoyed a successful stint, securing silverware and prestigious titles, including Cannes Lions, among others. After my time in Spain, I yearned for a new challenge, so I accepted an offer from a London-based club to participate in the Premier League. I dedicated a couple of seasons to playing the British game before ultimately returning to the league I consider my true home.
