My name is Sebastián Rengifo, and I’m a senior copywriter at DDB Colombia’s Medellín office. I’m passionate about advertising copy, great ideas, and soccer. A fan of storytelling and comics, I hold a degree in Advertising from Universidad Autónoma de Occidente and am currently pursuing a specialization in Creative Writing for New Digital Media. Additionally, I have completed a diploma in Total Creativity at Nogma Creative School.
I moved to Medellín to kick-start my career as a junior copywriter at Melborp, where I worked for two years, focusing on copywriting and campaign development for brands like Protección, Arden for Men, Chef Burger, and ISA Conexiones. I was also actively involved in various national pitches and projects.
Over a year ago, I joined DDB’s Medellín office as a senior creative copywriter for Billet in the Dominican Republic. I also led creative efforts for EPM for 10 months as a mid-level copywriter and contributed to projects for brands like Poker, Netflix, and Grupo UMA, among others.
Throughout my career, I have participated in creativity festivals such as Young Lions, as well as national and international festivals like Cannes Lions, El Ojo de Iberoamérica, El Dorado, Clio, among others.
Beyond work, I believe creativity is a daily practice. Whether in sports, video games, or even cooking, I’m always looking for ways to apply my creative mindset to different aspects of life. I’m an advertiser with a strong dose of creativity, paired with critical and strategic thinking.
