Where you grew up, and where you live now.

Rio de Janeiro / Miami.

How you first realized you were creative.

I've been drawing cartoons since I was 8 but it really took shape in high school. I would doodle like crazy (especially if I was bored in class), and even created some characters that would fill many notebooks. My dream was to become a cartoonist, but more than that, I just loved to make my friends crack up with these drawings.

A person you idolized creatively early on.

Jim Davis, creator of Garfield. I was obsessed.

A moment from high school or college that changed your life.

In high school I was in charge of designing our senior class shirts. The final design was a large bar code on a dull grey shirt. Later on, our English teacher pulled me aside and said, "You will only appreciate the genius of this design when you're older." I think I realized I had a knack for disruption.

A visual artist or band/musician you admire.

Pink Floyd. I've been inspired by them since I was a teenager. And this year they launched their first song in 30 years to support the people of Ukraine. Still rocking!

A book, movie, TV show or podcast you recently found inspiring.

"Is This Anything?" by Jerry Seinfeld. Had me laughing out loud every time I opened it.

Your favorite fictional character.

Ferris Bueller.

Someone or something worth following in social media.

How Covid-19 changed your life, personally or professionally.

I've never been closer to my wife and kids. The fact that we made it through the pandemic without killing each other proves we can make it through anything.

One of your favorite creative projects you've ever worked on, and why.

This Coke is a Fanta. Because it was an idea that died so many times yet we insisted on doing it. Because we went out and shot during the middle of Carnival. Because it caused chaos within the client when we launched and still we held our calm. And because of the long-lasting impact it had on society.  

A recent project you're proud of, and why. 

This year we launched the poop emoji ice cream in Brazil.An original product idea to communicate the cleanest dessert in the fast food category. It got a lot of headlines and also made many IG stories. Still can't believe the client bought it!

Top ICT tenders: Eskom looks to customer engagement - ITWeb

Image
With president Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address due to take place on Thursday, and rumours of an imminent cabinet shakeup abounding, it's unsurprising that National Treasury's eTender Portal is relatively quiet this week. That's not to say there's little of interest in the issue though. In fact, a notice from beleaguered Eskom is likely to attract attention from all sectors of society. In the tender, the utility states it wishes to replace its existing customer relationship management (CRM) solution, including the CS Online web portal and MyEskom customer mobile application. The tender documentation notes Eskom's existing applications and architecture are "fragmented with limited functionality and do not provide a holistic, omni-channel customer engagement experience that is seamless across channels (telephony IVR, web portal, mobile app)". What's more, it says it would like to move as many of its costly telephony interaction...

Virginia Tech Pamplin alumnus Jay Ives included in Forbes' 30 ... - Virginia Tech Daily

Image
In the early months of 2020, as COVID-19 left many small and medium-sized businesses struggling in its wake, Virginia Tech Pamplin College of Business alumnus and Jives Media founder Jay Ives saw an opportunity to serve his local community. "Businesses were hurting, and I wanted to do everything in my power to support them," Ives said. What he couldn't have foreseen is how taking this opportunity to serve would, over the course of just two years, rapidly transform his career and earn him a spot on Forbes' 30 under 30 list among the world's top marketers. The 29-year-old entrepreneur and CEO started his professional journey as a marketing management major at Virginia Tech, completing his undergraduate degree in 2016. "I knew to be a 'lethal marketer,' I had to have the proper support, training, and education to develop both qualitative and quantitative marketing skills." He chose to enroll in Pamplin for the world-class education he knew he woul...
