It was a big shock when Andre Kassu and Marcos Medeiros, leading executive creative directors at Brazil's renowned Almap BBDO agency, suddenly quit to do a startup with CP&B seven months ago in Sao Paulo. With a third partner, Vinicius Reis, they used the Fasano luxury hotel as a temporary headquarters until moving the now 12-person staff into a permanent office this week.They're already winning business. The creative duo's relationships and experience with Anheuser-Busch InBev beer brands at previous agencies helped land the new shop a coveted spot on the beer marketer's roster. The agency will launch Corona beer in Brazil, and also won a special projects account that will include global collaboration with A-B InBev. In addition, CP&B Brazil will launch a new Mondelez brand in Brazil, and will be the creative agency for two publications at Brazil's biggest magazine publisher Editora Abril.It's a busy time for Mr. Kassu and Mr. Medeiros, who have been a copywriter and art director team for more than seven years and are now partners and chief creative officers at MDC-owned CP&B Brazil. While Mr. Medeiros and Mr. Reis were moving into the Sao Paulo office this week, Mr. Kassu was on a whirlwind trip to New York and took a few minutes between getting his latest tattoo and speaking at Advertising Week to participate in this week's edition of "Six Things."
