santiago chaumont

There was an era when advertising was a refuge for bohemians and artists of every kind. Writers, painters, musicians, and poets all found a space to develop their art.

Santiago Chaumont did not arrive to advertising during this era, but some years later. He started as an Art Director at the multiple award-winning Argentine agency Agulla & Baccetti in 1997 and culminated his creative career in Mexico, as Executive Creative Director at the renowned Z agency in 2008, where he shot his first projects as a Director.

His work has been recognized in numerous international festivals, such as Cannes, D&AD, Clio, One Show, New York Festival, FIAP, Ojo de Iberoamérica, Diente, Festival Internacional de Cine Valladolid, Clermont Ferrand Short Film Festival, and Festival de Cine de La Habana.

Today, Santiago splits his time between filming, painting, and doing nothing, in different proportions, depending on the period.
