ALDO PINI

strategy, cultural relevance & effectiveness

Today, brands must understand their role in society and culture. It's the only way to be relevant in people's lives.

Creating this connection is what I look for in every strategy.

ABOUT ME

I’m Aldo Pini, CSO & Partner at LePub Brasil, a seasoned strategy leader with over 20 years of experience in the advertising industry.


I have a proven track record of planning and executing innovative campaigns that have delivered business growth, brand relevance, and consumer engagement for clients like Budweiser, Heinz, Brahma, Natura, Sadia, and Vivo.


As the former Chief Strategy & Effectiveness Officer at Africa, one of the world's most creative and effective agencies, I led a team of 40 strategists and planners across various disciplines and areas of expertise. I was responsible for developing award-winning cases that were recognized globally by festivals such as Cannes Lions, Effie Awards, One Show, and D&AD.


One of the greatest strengths I developed in these years of my career was a multidisciplinary vision that allows me to think about strategy regardless of format or model, always aiming at the best recommendation for the brand, be it a new product, an event, content or a traditional advertising piece.


I'm also a specialist in behavior and cultural trends and am deeply passionate about sneakers and mainstream culture.

Recommendation

Side Text Box Outline

Aldo is, in addition to being a wonderful human being, one of the best professionals with whom I had the privilege of working. He was with our team in Africa twice, and in his two passages, he left a trail of excellent relationships and work they did history for our customers. Iconic Brazilian brands such as Vivo, Sadia, and Brahma owe much of their success to Aldo's work and dedication. Global brands like Budweiser and Heinz also owe part of their success in Brazil to Aldo's talent. The success of our Africa owes a lot to the dedication and commitment that Aldo showed in the years that we had the privilege of having him on our team."

Aldo is a complete professional in the skills that make a professional truly complete today: the strength of the work that goes from the agency's door to the outside and the power that remains from the door in.

From the door out, Aldo's history is one of the successful works because they connect people with brands through cultural insights. More than equating brand truths with people's behavior, Aldo has works that add the cultural component to this equation, a fundamental skill for brands' conversations to be relevant today.

From the door to the inside, he is a complete leader because he has an eye and attitude focused on the structural changes needed in our industry, creating and being intensely involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion projects — which wisely will also impact not only the industry from the door inside but also the jobs that go out the door.

""With a successful trajectory - leading renowned advertising agencies in Brazil, Aldo has, in his eyes, been full of cultural baggage and references, which I like to highlight. Our personal and professional bond has solid roots going back more than two decades to our days at the University. Since then, Aldo has distinguished himself as a strategic leader and cultivated a valuable and authentic friendship. In addition to his commitment to professional excellence, he is a catalyst for collaborative and innovative teams, evidencing a unique ability to inspire.
