WebAward Judge Profile: Lino Ribolla
The Digital Embassy
Founder, Chief Creative D
Lino’s love affair with Creative began long, long ago…from drawing on walls as a kid, to being one of the pioneers of Computer Art in his native Brazil.
But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t kept up with the times. His track record as a digital innovator speaks for itself—but we’ll still speak for it anyway. His work for Fortune 100 clients like Kraft, IBM, AT&T, AMEX, GM and Philips has won major global awards—including Gold Lions, NY Festivals, the One Show, Addy’s, LIAA, BIMA, DMA Echo, Caples…and we’re convinced there may be an AdTech and a few Webbys in there somewhere.
He was previously the Director of Design, Americas for Oliver Wyman, Executive Creative Director and Managing Director NY for Primacy, Creative Director at OgilvyOne NY, and the Executive Creative Director at OgilvyOne UK and Modem Media UK and Paris—and in Brazil, he was the Art Editor of O Globo (a leading newspaper) and the Head of Creative at TV Cultura.
Lino has a Master’s Degree in Computer Graphics and is presently a Professor of Branding and Advertising at the Savannah College of Art and Design
