Creative Director, VML Czechia, Czech Republic
Wanslez Quaresma is a world-class creative talent, officially ranked amongst the top six creative directors in Europe. With 20 years’ international experience, this Brazilian visionary has built his career in the Czech Republic, Germany, the UAE, Italy and Russia, working with legendary agencies such as Scholz & Friends, Africa Agency, Saatchi & Saatchi, Possible Moscow and DDB Moscow. Today, as Global Creative Director at VML EU, he sets the tone for communications at BAT, Nestlé KitKat and McDonald’s.
Wanslez’s collection of awards is truly impressive: eight Cannes Lions statuettes (including the triumphant 2025 Grand Prix and a Silver), the 2026 ADC Awards Grand Prix, as well as trophies from D&AD, LIA, the New York Festivals and the Clio Awards. His outdoor advertising has been recognised as one of the best OOH campaigns in the industry’s history, and a project he created for Possible Moscow has been immortalised in the permanent collection of the New York Poster Museum.
Wanslez is a sought-after international speaker (including appearances at the ‘White Square’ festival and ADC Italy), a mentor for leading EdTech platforms, and a permanent member of the judging panels for key global awards: the New York Festivals, the ADC Awards, Mad Stars and the WINA Festival.
