After 14 years in the advertising industry, Marcos Botelho has partnered with Tess Roy as founder of Duo Duo. A concept studio.

During his career as a copywriter and associate creative director for some of the biggest advertising agencies in the world, Marcos has led and crafted campaigns for clients like Honda, Kia Motors, IBM, General Motors, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Unilever (Dove), Allianz Insurance, Forbes, Citibank, Air France, KLM, Billboard Magazine, Kraft Foods, Kimberly Clark, Miller Genuine Draft, GSK, RadioShack, and others.

His concepts have been awarded 2× Gold and 2× Bronze at the Cannes Lions Creativity Festival so far, and many other accolades at D&AD, One Show, LIA and so on. In 2018 he was selected to represent the US as a Young Lion in Cannes, to compete in the Print category.

Marcos grew up in Germany and Brazil, lived in New York, and is currently in LA. He is fluent in 4 languages and an average musician. Started as a drummer, then tried to learn almost every instrument on earth. Stuck with the easiest one to carry: a pen.

Also, Marcos questions everything. Including why people write about themselves in the 3rd person.
