Laura Florence

Laura is the Executive Creative Director of Havas Health & You, with more than 25 years of experience working for Brazilian branches of worldwide agencies, such Wunderman, Publicis, Ogilvy, R /GA, Mcgarrybowen and most recently Lov/Isobar.

She has substantial experience in conceptualizing online and offline campaigns and had an in-depth understanding of technology, data-driven marketing, and general marketing trends.

I have a strong mix of creative and operations, proven ability to lead an office and expand company offer. Over the past seven years, I held leadership positions, acting as Creative Director, Executive Creative Director, and Vice-President, leading teams, reformulating processes, and helping to improve creativity and profitability.

A natural team leader and a strong mentor, she is super capable of understanding and reading others' strengths to improve their ideas without territoriality.

Laura's also a writer, a runner, an amateur chef, an international speaker, a mother, and a technology enthusiast. She's even written a best-selling shopping guide for first-time moms, listing everything they need to buy before the baby arrives.

Finally, Laura is a feminist activist and the proud co-founder of MORE GRLS, an institute that focuses on increasing the number, value, and visibility of creative women by providing tools and support for working in the industry. In less than one year, it already became the most significant female creative community in Brazil.
