SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL // Hi, I am Marie Julie Gerbauld a.k.a MJ, a half Brazilian, half French creative.
I have been inspired by creative leadership and team mentoring since the day I took this position – back then, I had only 26 years. I decided to put a lot of care, energy and big amount of learning hours on this subject with major focus on D&I, committing to the profound need of accelerating the changes in our industry.

Cause during all my student’s life I’ve heard people saying I shouldn’t be creative, due to the fact that this was more a man’s job. When I had to choose my speciality as a creative, people said I should go for copywriting, because it was more adequate for a female, a.k.a less tiring. So I chose art direction. In my 17 year career I’ve worked for beer companies, automakers, tech companies, banks, pharmaceuticals, beauty care companies, soda
brands… Together, we did some great works and won great awards at Cannes, Clio, D&AD, Gerety, Lias, Wave, Effie and some more.
Despite. Me. Being. A. Woman.
