Global Chief Creative Officer

FCB Global

A Bogotá, Colombia native with a depth of global experience, Andrés is one of the most decoratedcreatives in the advertising industry, with 20+ years of experience dedicated to crafting compelling narratives for some of the world’s most renowned brands. He was named Global CCO in 2024. As a member of FCB’s Global Leadership Team, Andrés is responsible for supporting FCB’s all-star creative leadership community, keeping creative teams connected and sharing ideas across all internal boundaries to deliver the Timeless and Timely work at the local, regional and global levels clients have come to expect from FCB. Andrés moved up to the global role after a successful four-year tenure as CCO for FCB Chicago, where he was a major driver behind the agency’s growth, helping to win the largest new business review of 2023 – lead creative partner for Pfizer – and generating huge organic growth with Chicago’s long-standing clients, such as The Clorox Company.

Since joining FCB Chicago in 2019, Andrés has collaborated on notable creative campaigns such as “Contract for Change” for Michelob ULTRA, “Banned Book Club” for The Digital Public Library of America,“Adopt-a-Stray” for Fresh Step, “HVR X HVR” for Hidden Valley Ranch, and “Boards of Change” for the City of Chicago.

Throughout his career, Andrés has collected hundreds of industry accolades, including Cannes Lions (2 Titanium, 3 Grands Prix), Effies, D&AD, One Show Pencils, ADC, Clios and many more. He has been ranked as one of the top creative minds in the business by Adweek, Campaign, Cannes Lions, The One Show and The Drum, among others.

Andrés grew up surrounded by advertising — in Bogota, his mother was an advertising model and his father ran an agency. After attending the Miami Ad School, he started his career at BBDO Puerto Rico, then moved to Zubi Miami and Bravo before landing at Energy BBDO. Before joining FCB, he worked with a diverse list of the world’s most iconic brands, including Pfizer, MARS/Wrigley, Danone, Ford, Pepsi and Walmart.

It’s this upbringing that shaped Andrés’ guiding philosophy. A firm believer in empowering his team at every step in their careers, Andrés urges them to challenge the status quo and extend their vision beyond conventional limits and borders. His motto is: “Follow the work, and the rest will come. Everyone should feel part of this process and take ownership of the journey.”

Outside the agency, Andrés finds great joy in running, traveling the world, and spending quality time exploring his hometown in Chicago with his wife, two daughters and beloved Goldendoodle, Frappu, dedicating the same Never Finished energy to these passions as he does to his creative work.
