Olá, I am Lp Gatti.
I’m the Executive Creative Director & Head of Entertainment at White Rabbit. In 2024, I led the launch of an in-game and sportainment hub aimed at audiences across South America and Europe.
With 20 years of experience in the communications field, my journey began in Rio de Janeiro as an Art Director and grew through roles at major advertising agencies around the world, working with local, regional, and global clients. Along the way, I’ve lived and worked in São Paulo, Dubai, Berlin, and Stuttgart, before finally settling in Budapest.
Beyond agency life, I’ve spent the past decade teaching and coordinating at Miami Ad School LATAM, helping shape the next generation of creative talent. I’m also continuing to expand my skill set through studies in Digital Marketing, Sponsorship, and Sports Communication at the FC Barcelona Innovation Hub.

// I believe strong relationships with clients, colleagues, and production teams are key to delivering 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 & Twitch
✺ ✺ ✺
“ 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

Obrigado pela visita!
Now it’s time to have some fun. How about playing a mini game?
To play, click and hold on the player, aim your shot, then release to kick.
If you beat the goalkeeper in 5 attempts, take a screenshot and I’ll buy you a coffee at our meeting. But no “7–1” jokes, ok?
P.S.: I built this game myself with the help of AI, and it took a ton of work. So please give it a try.
