Hello! My name is ilka and I’m a Brazilian born British citizen living in London, with more than 16 years experience in advertising and marketing.

As a Creative Art Director, and more recently as a Creative Director, I've developed experiential, integrated, innovative and digital campaigns across all channels of communication.

I've learnt to see the world from diverse perspectives while working across tech, non-profits, consumer goods, B2B, financial services and more; and I've collaborated with teams all over the world. I thrive on collaboratively creating and leading beautiful work that is measurable and truly delivers results.

I’ve worked for brands like Instagram, Meta, Unilever, Vodafone, Coca-Cola, Volkswagen, Procter & Gamble, VISA, Amnesty International, Havaianas, Nivea, Pedigree, among others. I've also had the pleasure of winning awards like Cannes Lions, The One Show, D&AD, Clio, London International Awards and El Ojo.

In Brazil, I worked at some of the greatest advertising agencies, including ALMAP BBDO, JWThompson, Africa DDB and TBWA. During that time, I illustrated a children's book named Ziiim, for which I received a “Jabuti Awards" nomination, the most important literary award in Brazil.

In 2016, I moved to the London to join Ogilvy and later Facebook (now Meta), where I’m currently employed. I get to work with incredibly smart global and regional teams to bring the Meta family of apps closer to people, and to help small businesses and nonprofits thrive.

Shall we chat?
