The person behind Creative OS

Sérgio Eleutério
Founder, Creative OS. 20+ years building brands at Unilever, Ambev, Grupo Boticário, Kraft Heinz, NotCo and McDonald's Brazil.
Six weeks after a brand strategy session I was proud of, the first creative brief landed — and it could have been written for any brand in the category. The 40-page positioning document had become three adjectives in a box. That's the moment I started building against.
Creative OS is a system where the strategy never leaves the room. Every brief, campaign, and creative direction runs on the same persistent brand context — automatically, without anyone having to remember to attach the PDF. It's the system I wished I had in every strategy room I sat in over the last twenty years.
