Let’s Play!


I am Luis Paulo Gatti, Executive Creative Director and Head of Entertainment at White Rabbit. In 2024, I led the launch of an in-game and sportainment hub targeting the South American and European markets.

I have 20 years of experience in the communications field. I began my career in Rio de Janeiro as an Art Director and went on to work at major advertising agencies around the world, serving local, regional, and global clients. My professional journey has taken me to São Paulo, Dubai, Berlin, and Stuttgart before I settled in Budapest.

For the past decade, I have been a teacher and coordinator at Miami Ad School / LATAM, helping shape a new generation of creative talent. I am now expanding my expertise through studies in Digital Marketing, Sponsorship, and Sports Communication at the FC Barcelona Innovation Hub.

↳ Building strong relationships with clients, colleagues, production teams, and everyone involved in the daily workflow is essential for success. I believe this is how we achieve the highest quality and excellence in every project.

 


“ With Gatti, work feels like play but delivers like business. He’s a creative force with integrity, turning sportainment into a stage where brands shine and people rally. Clients are charmed, teams are fired up, and the results speak loud: image elevated, business moved forward. Always a privilege to partner with him. “
Fernando Octávio da Silva Martins II | Sports Content & Digital Strategy Lead @ Sportv

✺ ✺ ✺

“ Working with Gatti was a completely different experience from what I usually experienced when creating sponsored content. He transformed a process that is normally rigid into something light and authentic, from the inside out. That made all the difference, making my contribution not only more effective in the final outcome but also far more enjoyable and fun to execute. “
Guilherme Adorno ‘Pai Troll’ | Gamer & Streamer | Youtube

✺ ✺ ✺

“ Generations have learned how to develop ideas in Gatti's classes. Over the past 10 years, his students have won every major student competition. He developed a teaching method that became a global reference for Miami Ad School around the world, reflecting his unwavering dedication and support for students. Here's to another 10 years. “
Paulo André Bione | Partner and Academic Director @ Miami Ad School

✺ ✺ ✺

“ Gatti is one of those rare creative minds who never settle for the obvious. His ideas consistently push boundaries and surprise everyone in the best way possible. He has an incredible instinct for finding fresh perspectives, turning even the simplest brief into something bold, unexpected, and full of heart. Working with him was a pleasure. “
Rod Henriques | ECD - Benelux & Nordics @ DEPT | Ex ECD @ BBDO Germany
