Dani brought her natural charisma to her profession as an advertiser, assisting great brands from the national and international sectors.  With more than 15 years working in the area, she can already say her calling is followed by expertise. Went through GAP (Grupo de Atendimento e Planejamento do RJ), alongside ABAP and Agência 3, where she acquired lots of experience working beside great names in the advertising market.

In Viralata there are more than 10 years of experience and, besides being part of the team, she became a partner in 2014. She heads skillfully our Relationship Board because she sees communications as an essential strategic tool to create new deals and construct lasting relationships. With vibrant energy, she is one of those people who are great to have around. New clients especially! Her charisma combines with her unquestionable professionalism through the monitoring of projects, from briefing to final delivery.

For these and many other reasons she created an impressive list of clients, such as Bunge, Magalu, State Grid Brazil Holding, Dow Brasil, Rede D’Or São Luiz, Ternium, Águas do Rio, WMcCANN, NBS, Binder, Fields360, Petrobras, Unimed-Rio, Grupo Globo, Vale, Tirolez, Seara, Wickbold, Spoleto, Domino’s Pizza, Koni, Firjan, Rock in Rio, Total Energy, Statkraft, OLX, Coca-Cola, Ibmec, Neoenergia, Rio Energy, and others.

Elisa Petry – Production Director

Thinking about organization? Thinking Elisa Petry. If someone understands about putting things in order, it is her.  Dedicated professional, Elisa trailed her road on the cinema market experiencing other production companies and TV channels.  She was a production assistant in Casa de Cinema of Porto Alegre and soap operas from Rede Globo. Several years ago, she took over the mission of directing and running Viralata productions, winning colleagues and clients over. So much so that she became a partner!

Since then, she worked her way uphill, producing several advertisements and corporate movies, with tight deadlines, but extremely efficient. However, we can’t put aside her biggest love, the cinema. Incidentally, in this area, she stood out directing the production of feature-length movies such as Palace II, Blitz, and Still Life, among several others.
