Gerety Awards Jury 2021
Hello! My name is María Contreras, but call me Piti (Blame my brother, he gave me that nickname when I was 2)
I'm a chilean Associate Creative Director / Copywriter currently working at Deutsch, California.
I have more than 14 years of experience in advertising working in many of the most important advertising agencies in USA & Chile: Conill Saatchi & Saatchi, BBDO, Ogilvy, DDB and VMLY&R.
I’ve also worked with renowned and inspired brands, like Walmart+, Pepsi, Burger King, Toyota, Dove, Gatorade, Dove, Nestlé, among others. I've met and worked with very talented and hardworking people at these agencies, and I am grateful to have collaborated with them!
I've been nominated for and won awards at Cannes Lions, Clio, Effie, Ojo de Iberoamérica and Achap (Chilean Advertising Festival). My work has also been featured in publications like AdWeek, AdAge, CNN, Lürzer's Archive, and other top media outlets.
I love to imagine, conceptualize fresh ideas, and help deliver impactful messages. Besides being an advertising creative, I studied film and screenwriting. Right now, I write short stories for commercials, but who knows, maybe in the future I'll write a feature film that wins at another Cannes.
