About me

Hey. My name is Tiago Pinheiro, also known as Tico. I am from the northeast, I was born in Paraíba in Brazil and now I live in São Paulo.


In Brazil I work as Senior Art Director. I have over 16 years of experience in advertising. I have worked in agencies such as TBWA Chiat Day NY, TBWA Los Angeles (Design By Disruption), Grey Brazil, CP+B Brazil and now work at AlmapBBDO.


Before being Associate Creative Director, I was Associate Design Director in New York. My role includes design, art direction, illustration, creative ideas, type design, etc.


I received 18 Lions at Cannes (including a GP), and also several awards in D&AD (including a Yellow Pencil), OneShow, Clio Awards, El Ojo (including 2 GPs), Wave, CCSP, Effie Latam, etc.


I’m known for inspiring creative teams to do creative work that drives customer growth.


I also work as an independent comic book artist with 4 published comic books. I have already received a nomination for the largest comic book awards in Brazil in 2023, HQMix, I was nominated in the category of New Talent Comic Artist.
