Javier Campopiano has been a thrash metal singer, gymnast, and IT guy. Today, he is Global Chief Creative Officer at McCann Worldgroup and McCann, responsible for the creative leadership and ambition of a network spanning 100+ countries and 13,000+ people. Embracing an ‘Open Kitchen’ philosophy, he unites creatives, strategists, and business leaders to deliver world-class work for clients.

Javier’s proudest achievements lie in building global brands and leading celebrated campaigns for Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Volvo, Toyota, Walmart, Xbox, Mastercard, L’Oréal and more. He previously served as Worldwide CCO at Grey and OpenX, overseeing creative development for both agencies. Before that, he was CCO at FCB in New York and Latin America, and earlier at Saatchi & Saatchi, where he transformed the creative reputation of its New York office.

Starting as an intern at Ogilvy Argentina, Javier rose to Regional Creative Director at Ogilvy and Saatchi, then regional CCO at FCB LATAM. The son of two lawyers with creative passions, he began drawing, writing, and selling comic strips as a child—perhaps sowing the seeds of his advertising path.

His work has earned 200+ Cannes Lions, including multiple Grand Prix and Titanium, alongside honors from The One Show, Clio, LIA, ANA, and a D&AD Black Pencil.
