About Diego

Brand and communication strategy consultant, I support companies and agencies in designing and deploying effective communication strategies, from strategic positioning to campaign execution.

With over 14 years of experience in international marketing and communication, I have developed strong expertise in managing complex communication projects and supporting major brands with their visibility, positioning, and international development challenges.

I recently held the position of Account Director at Havas Paris, where I managed integrated campaigns for international brands, coordinating strategy, creative, production, and digital teams. My role was to translate clients' business objectives into clear communication strategies and high-performing creative campaigns.

My approach combines strategic vision, understanding of business challenges, and operational agency experience, enabling me to intervene effectively with large organizations, growing companies, and agencies needing senior strategic support.

Multilingual (French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian...) I am particularly comfortable in international and multicultural environments.

Types of projects I work on:
Brand positioning and brand platform
Communication strategy and content strategy
International campaign development
Strategic recommendations and marketing support
Coordination of creative teams and project management
Pitch preparation and agency support
