Nuno Salvaterra

Hi,
my name is Salva (Nuno Salvaterra),
I’m a Graphic Designer and Creative Director working for NIKE at AKQA Portland.

Before I crossed the ocean to the U.S.,
I was invited to build up the design department at Judas, one of the most creative boutiques in Portugal. Before that, I had a long-term creative relationship at Publicis Groupe: first as Creative Director of Design for Leo Burnett, then as a Digital Creative Director for Publicis Emil, and later in an ECD role for the whole group, overseeing the transformation and integration of all the agencies in the group (Leo Burnett, Publicis, and Digitas).

Throughout all these years,
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some amazing, creative people and achieve important milestones, such as Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Clio, NY Festival, and El Ojo. I’ve also been awarded 2 times Best Creative Director and 4 times the Best Agency of the Year in the CCP (Portugal).

My international awards include Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, The New York Festival, EuroBest, ADC*E, FWA, Effie, FB awards, El Ojo, and CCP (…). I have also been on jury panels in many of these festival awards.
