Diego

Hi there

My name is Diego Tórgo and I’m a Brazilian-Portuguese Creative Director with two decades of experience in advertising across three continents. I've made a name for myself as a dynamic visual thinker, crafting narratives that not only engage but leave a lasting impact. My work has earned international recognition, including helping FCB Lisbon make history by winning Portugal’s first (and only) Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions Festival.

Currently, I'm VP Creative Director at Area 23/NY, leading The Refinery - a special division dedicated to pushing the limits of ideas, art direction, craft, and design. My job is to elevate the quality of the agency's main projects, making sure everything we put out is top-notch and my approach is simple:

1. Get stuff done 
2. Work smart 
3. Be cool to everyone

Feel free to reach out anytime.
