MullenLowe has added award-winning design director Arthur Daraujo to its team on the East Coast. A tri-lingual native of Sรฃo Paulo, Daraujo has worked with U.S. agencies for about five years.

In addition, Daraujo has ample experience working with marquee clients—Nike, Coca-Cola, Mondolez, Bayer and Heineken, among many others.
A design director and illustrator living in Brooklyn, NY, he is skilled in logo design, branding & identity, typography, advertising, and traditional illustration techniques. “I am honored to have the opportunity to work alongside the talented creative team at MullenLowe,” stated Daraujo, adding, “The roster of bold clients combined with the heritage of MullenLowe provides an ideal blank canvas for me to collaborate and produce great work.”
In 2021, Daraujo was named ninth best creative director in the world by the Cannes Lions report list after winning 2 Grands Prix (in addition to his first one in 2016), six golds, 13 silvers, and a half-dozen bronze. His work has received recognition from D&AD, The One Show, Clios, ANDYs, LIAs, etc. Most notably, his awards are in honor of “craft.”
MullenLowe Boston ECD Tim Vaccarino said of Daraujo, “He brings fresh cultural perspectives, fine-tuned visual storytelling, and the desire to accelerate the power of design anywhere and everywhere possible across our vast client base.”
Daraujo’s appointment follows a new business streak at MullenLowe with recent wins, including KFC, T.J.Maxx and Credit Karma.
