The creative team of Fernando Carrion and Rodrigo Bistene has joined FCB New York as sr. copywriter and sr. art director, respectively. The duo, aka The Raccoons, comes over from VML.
Hailing from Mexico and Brazil, Carrion and Bistene are most renowned for their work in creating the Proud Whopper campaign for Burger King, winner of 13 Cannes Lions, and for convincing people to follow Pepto Bismol on Twitter.
The Raccoons moniker springs, in their own words, from they’re being “social creatures who like to work in groups. We appear to be harmless but we can turn pretty wild when an opportunity arises. But more than anything, we can easily find hidden food and fall asleep in unexpected places.”
