About me

Hi, my name is Ailton Henriques, and I'm a Portuguese/Brazilian creative with over ten years of experience creating for brands such as Kia, Hyundai, Robert Capa, Manscaped, Ford, Pedigree, Google, Whiskas, Snickers, Schwarzkopf, amongst many others.
In my quest to avoid the Brazilian heat, I had the pleasure of working in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Vancouver, Düsseldorf, and Berlin at agencies like Pereira O'Dell, McCann Canada, TBWA, BBDO Germany, and Innocean Berlin.

My work has been recognized at the D&AD, Cannes Lions Festival, New York Festival, Effie, and ADC Germany. Recently, I served as a juror at the NY Festivals, Future Lions, Webby Awards, AD Stars, and The Lovie Awards. As a young creative, I participated in the Creative LIAisons from the LIA Awards and Young Lions Academy at the Cannes Lions. Besides that, I have a strong design background, being one of the founders of Insert Brasil - one of Brazil's most significant design events.

Currently, I'm working as an Associate Creative Director at AKQA Berlin.
