NEI CAETANO, CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Nei started his advertising career in 1999. While he was working as a designer during daytime hours at Studio Web (one of the first Brazilian interactive agencies), he was finishing his advertising studies at Anhembi Morumbi University at night.

After he graduated, he accepted an art director position in a New York in start up company called "Dgolpe". He helped them to create a music portal for underground bands. Nei then went back to Brazil to work as an art director for agencies like Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, and J. Walter Thompson.

In 2002, Nei returned to the U.S. and accepted a senior art director position at Atmosphere/BBDO New York working for Cingular wireless and AOL. Two years later Nei was invited to join Butler, Shine, Stern and Partners as the online creative director, working for brands like MINI, Converse, Lucas Arts, Sun Microsystems, Sprite and Coca-Cola. At BSSP Nei met Andreas. After 3 years there they decided to go to EVB, where they were hired to work on their Adidas account. Now they have opened Brothers by Choice to create their own vision.
