About
I love helping brands craft innovative campaigns with beautiful simplicity and wit.
That’s what I have been doing with a dumb smile on my face since 2008 when I moved from my beloved little Brescia to Milan. After starting at major agencies such as Grey, JWT, and Y&R I had a brief stint in Sydney and a longer one at Ogilvy Singapore. Currently, I am working as Global Associate Creative Director at Le Pub Milan, where I work with global brands like Heineken and Barilla.
When I am not making ads, I enjoy keeping my plants alive, traveling around the world with my wife, and dining in restaurants I cannot afford.
If you’d like to discuss potential opportunities, feel free to give me a call at +39 345 2179062 or reach out at alessandroagnellini@gmail.com
