About Me
Hi, I’m Armando, but please… just call me Mando.
I (mistakenly?) studied film direction, communications, marketing, and neuromarketing and somehow ended up with a degree in visual communication, just trying to figure it all out like everyone else at that age. I mean, who’s really ready to pick a life path at 18?
It wasn’t until a creative awards show in Mexico City (my hometown) that I fell in love with advertising and finally, everything made sense.
That night, I made myself a promise: Next year, I’ll be competing.
(Spoiler alert: I did. And I won. 🏆)
I’m passionate, curious, and relentlessly creative... but let’s be honest, you’ve probably read that on every other portfolio.
Right now, I’m studying copywriting at Miami Ad School Mexico, easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
My second campaign landed a shortlist at El Ojo de Iberoamérica, and my first award was a Grand Prix at Círculo Creativo, Mexico’s most prestigious ad competition.
But I’m just getting started.
I love to compete. I love to collaborate. And I love being the best at what I do.
I don’t want to write what every other copywriter writes here. Pretentious speeches about what creativity is or isn’t, or what advertising “should” be.
Instead, I’d rather show what I can do.
Share my way of thinking.
And keep learning from everything that surrounds me, inspires me, and excites me.
So go ahead and take the risk.
Trust me.
I won’t let you down.
(Also: I love horror movies, seafood, wrestling, video games, and a good dirty martini 🍸.)
