About
My name is Andre Queiroz (“kay-ross”). I was born in Brazil, in the countryside of São Paulo. I had a childhood full of street games like flying kites, picking fruit from trees, hide and seek and ringing the neighbor’s doorbell just to run away. We had to be really creative to invent new games all the time.
On weekends at my dad’s place, we used to watch TV and spend more time talking about the commercials than the actual shows. Even now, we have this habit of imagining different ideas and saying,"what if?". Back then, I had no idea what advertising really was or how it worked. But without realizing it, I was already training my creative thinking.
In my final year of college, I started working at Ogilvy Brazil. I spent three amazing years learning everything I could about advertising. It was during that time that my Creative Directors, encouraged me to apply for a postgraduate course at Miami Ad School.
That's when advertising turned into a true passion.
While studying further, I managed to stand out and got the opportunity to move to Dubai. I joined Impact BBDO, the number one agency at Cannes Lions for seven years in a row. Today, I'm living in Dubai, turning those childhood "what ifs" into "Dad, look what I made" and feeling more passionate about creativity than ever before.
