Vinícius Curi, creative director at DM9 São Paulo, shares an eclectic range of work that keeps him engaged

I'm always looking for new inspirations for work, but today I'd like to talk about those which never leave our memory. I love it when advertising becomes entertainment. It's capable of making us laugh, moving us, helping a cause, talking about technology - and we are able to mix the reference with popular culture, and turn it into creativity...



Art Institute of Chicago - 'Van Gogh’s Bedrooms: Let Yourself In'

Agency: Leo Burnett Chicago

This is more than a great idea, it is a masterpiece. An idea that became advertising within pop culture, and our desires and feelings. Everyone who loves art wants to sleep for one night inside Van Gogh’s Bedroom. I love the storytelling and the craft of this work. I’m a big fan of Van Gogh, but I’m a bigger fan of this idea.



Burger King - 'Moldy Whopper'

Agency: INGO x DAVID Miami x Publicis Bucharest
Production: Colony
Director: Markus Ahlm

Post: MPC London

The fast-food industry has struggled for years to sell the perfect sandwich through appetite appeal and food porn, and what I like most about this idea is subverting it. It shows the beauty of imperfection, of naturalness. A powerful idea, incredible execution, and the courage to show your mouldy sandwich to inspire us.



Cheetos - 'Cheetos Museum'

Agency: Goodby Silverstein & Partners

Funny, creative and effective. Cheetos museum is a lesson in how to come up with an idea and put the consumer at the heart of it all. An idea that inspires and stimulates people's creativity, and the best part is that it still sells a lot of snacks.



Diesel x Deisel - 'Go with the Fake'

Agency: Publicis Italy
Production & Post: Rival School Pictures
Director: Andrew Lane
Editorial: Cosmo
Sound: duotone audio

Whenever they talk about the courage of a brand, I remember this idea. Imagine selling your own counterfeit product and seeing people recognise your brand. 'Go with the Fake' is an exceptional idea to build the 'Go with the Flaw' brand concept.



UNICEF - 'Unfairy Tales: Malak and the Boat'

Agency: 180LA

A real and moving story about a refugee girl from Syria. An impeccable craft, and a noble, impactful and necessary cause. 'Malak and the Boat' is on the list of jobs I wish I had done.
