Havas Spain’s chief creative officer has a special place in his heart for the Asturias countryside, Frank Miller and basically all food

Born in Oviedo in northwest Spain, Jesús Lada first learnt his trade at the Miami Ad School, but also studied in Minneapolis and London. His globe-spanning career has seen him contribute to the creative might of agencies in New York, Amsterdam and Hamburg before returning to his home country in 2007.

He’s been part of creating dozens of campaigns you’ll definitely remember, including the effortlessly charming ‘Justino’ for the 2016 Spanish Christmas Lottery, adding significantly to his already groaning (we imagine) award shelf.

Last March he joined Havas Spain as Chief Creative Officer, managing both Madrid and Barcelona offices. We couldn’t resist finding out a bit more about him.
