WHO IS MANUEL?
Well, it's tough to talk about oneself. Which adjectives should I use to describe me? Would saying that I'm a copywriter badass come across as pretentious? Or leaving out the recognitions I've earned, sound excessively humble? And if I omit them, readers might perceive me as not being good enough. But I am good enough (perhaps a bit too humble, Manuel). In fact, I exceed the 'good enough' standard by far (potentially too pretentious, Manuel). So, I sought a stranger's perspective to shed light on my main achievements. I hope you appreciate ChatGPT's perspective on Manuel Rolim.
Manuel Rolim according to ChatGPT:
I am Manuel Rolim, an experienced professional with a 15-year journey as a copywriter and creative director, leaving my mark in some of Minas Gerais' premier agencies. My passion has been to infuse life (are you certain about this wording, ChatGPT?) into brands such as Inhotim, Uber, Petrobras, LafargeHolcim, Localiza, Grupo Positivo, Ambev, and the Minas Gerais Government, transforming them into captivating narratives that resonate with audiences.
I am honored to have received recognition from the industry's most prestigious awards, including Cannes Lions, One Show, Clube de Criação, and Profissionais do Ano TV Globo, where my work has stood out among the finest (too pretentious, ChatGPT).
Beyond the realm of advertising, I have also lent my creativity as a screenwriter to notable projects. "O Rei do Mar" - The King of the Sea -, a captivating TV cartoon, and "Arte no Prato," a distinctive culinary TV show that beautifully merges art and cooking.
In my current role as Creative Director at Somos, a pioneering legaltech empowering class action firms, my focus has shifted toward an inspiring mission ("Inspiring Mission" might seem fitting for a self-help book by the authors of Mission Impossible). I derive immense satisfaction from channeling creativity to champion the rights of the wronged (perhaps "championing the rights of the wronged" could suffice).
Beyond my professional pursuits, my passion for radio has materialized in Spotcast, a podcast celebrating the art of radio spots. Collaboratively, I co-founded Barlestra, an engaging event where minds converge, ideas flow, and creativity flourishes (lovely words for an event that fosters spirited conversations) – all while relishing the joy of good company and exceptional brews.
Thank you for embarking on this journey with me. Let's persist in crafting, innovating, and inspiring together. (I’m not sure about it, ChatGPT. Would you remind rewriting it?)
