Live long enough to find your director - we recommend Wilfried Brimo

Director Wilfried Brimo was likewise presented at the Direction Lounge in Düsseldorf. Here is his CV, in his own entertaining words:

"In 1988, I was wasting my time in high-school when I discovered graphic art and started practicing my new passion on every vertical surface I could find In 1990, I joined the ranks by integrating the ESAG (National School of Graphic Design) Met de Penninghen. I graduated in 1994, and left school, diploma in hand.

Right away, I found a real job…relooking magazines as an art director. In parallel, I started doing photography of « no man’s land » industrial landscapes. I even published a book of photos dedicated to blast furnaces « Etats des Lieux ».

In 1996, during a vacation for a few months in Martinique I produced my most beautiful and most popular photographs on rum distilleries. When I came back to Paris, I entered the Gedeon team (a broadcast design company) as art director.

For several years, I worked for television channels TF1, France 2, M6, Téva, RT2 (Germany), Globo Sat (Brazil), Quiéro (Spain) and many others… At that time, the first videos and a few advertisements made by graphic designers started coming out (old mates of mine!!!). I became, according to the press, the youngest graphic designer to win so many awards in three years at the BDA (Broadcast Design Advertising) in Miami, Los Angeles and Singapore.

I joined Wanda in 2001 to create the design department. Very quickly, with the strength of the house team of directors, we won the global design for MTV Asia, France 2 IDs, TF6… In less than two years, the department has an undeniable success.

One day, I found myself directing jingles for France 2 because one of our directors wasn’t available…thank you Nancy. In 2003, DDB gave me the chance of directing my first advertisement for the World Athletics Championship. It won me the Silver Lion in Cannes in 2003.

I followed that with a film on the Athletic Championship, then another. One day, a music video for Shakedown allowed me to show my genuine attachment for narration and especially conceptualization. Then came the Aides film (!!! we like !!!), Citroen, Peugeot, Skoda, Manix, Mercedes, Discovery Channel… "

Both equally impressive and entertaining. Just like his films!
