HOW I GOT HERE
Born and raised in Brazil, Plinio’s passion for communication began early—winning a local design contest that led to an internship at a top advertising agency. He went on to earn a bachelor’s in Marketing & Advertising before moving to New York to pursue new personal and professional challenges. There, he deepened his understanding of mass communication, completing an associate degree in Filmmaking and a bachelor’s in Corporate Communications with a minor in Graphic Design, including a semester abroad at Dauphine University in Paris.
​
Since 2019, Plinio has called Toronto home. Adaptable and endlessly curious, he thrives in environments that value innovation and versatility. A self-motivated creative with a strategic mindset, Plinio is ready to elevate your digital marketing efforts and is excited to explore new opportunities. He’d be happy to connect and learn more about how he can contribute to your team.
