About

Born in Madrid.
Built for the feed.

Born in Madrid, first generation American, Chicago now. I am a Creative Director and Art Director with 17+ years of making work that earns attention, across agencies, platforms and my own ventures.

Four years of that were inside Meta, leading creative for Facebook and Instagram globally, where I learned what makes people stop, share and talk. The rest is agency: Leo Burnett, then McCann as SVP Group Creative Director, then DDB as Group Creative Director and Director of Social, for Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Verizon, Pepsi, Nintendo and more.

I also founded Weedipedia and grew it to 40,000 members and $5.4M in first year revenue with no media budget. The best ideas do not need one to spread.

In their words.

  • Creatively, Pablo has exceptional taste. He's a true ad nerd with deep industry knowledge, strong technical fluency, and a sharp eye for craft, bringing complex ideas to life through insightful thinking and refined aesthetics.
    Julio D'AlfonsoExecutive Creative Director. Former Co-Head of Creative, DoorDash. Worked with Pablo at Leo Burnett.
  • Pablo brought a positive attitude to work everyday, with a passion for great ideas and a scrappy, "maker" attitude to bring them to life, no matter if the budget was big or small. He is a talented creative thinker at the brand and platform level with exceptional design and art direction ability and attention to detail.
    Dave LoewExecutive Creative Director. Managed Pablo on Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Brooks Running.
  • A legit cross-platform creative with a deep social game, courtesy of his time at Facebook/Instagram, he's also a student of advertising and has a lot of campaign knowledge knocking around in his noggin. Pablo takes his work very seriously, but not himself.
    Todd BrownCreative Director and Writer, Mr. Brown Creative.
  • Pablo is equally skilled at developing the big, bonkers ideas, as he is strategizing minor interactivity, and UGC ecosystems. He's equal parts tactical and blue-sky, with a dash of trendsetter.
    Chris KennedyCreative Strategist, Global Clients, Meta.
  • Genuinely passionate about advertising, a bloody hard worker and has the talent to deliver stellar ideas again and again. He is not only talented, but also a great team player, co-worker and friend.
    Morten HalvorsenCreative Director, Meta. Worked with Pablo at Leo Burnett Chicago.
  • He's a charismatic, responsible and a great creative with a strategic mind. He's passionate about his ideas, he's easy to work with and always a great member to the team. Pablo is my friend and I will not only recommend him; I will envy you, if you're the one that's sitting next to him next.
