Transforming Buenos Airesinto an Innovation Brand


Foundations of Identity

My focus was to build a large-scale brand system and high-impact storytelling framework that powered platforms, events, messaging, and experiences—not just across digital, but in every neighborhoodI created a scalable brand framework designed to unify and support over 350 campaigns, live events and initiatives across every touchpoint—outdoor, print, social, digital, and more. This system brought clarity, consistency, and creative freedom—ensuring every execution stayed aligned while adapting to diverse formats and audiences. Below are selected samples from over 1200 assets created.

A Catalyst for Growth

The City of Buenos Aires aimed to reposition itself as a global innovation hub—attracting investment, empowering entrepreneurs, and building public trust in its transformation.
