Michael Campos
NEUELANE - CEO / Head of Strategy
Pincho is not a factory
Formerly known as "the guy that handles our Twitter", Michael kicked off his career by turning down a position at a global agency to start his own.
Like a great tweet, that decision aged well. Over a decade later he leads neuelane as an award-winning strategist and creative specializing in brand development and social media marketing for ambitious brands in food & beverage, hospitality and luxury real estate.
Aside from judging the Shorty Awards, he’s served as President of Ad 2 Miami and AAF Miami, as well as Education and NSAC Chair for AAF 4th District. Michael's dedication earned him AAF Miami's Advertising Person of the Year—the youngest recipient in its history. Tweet that!
When not doing any of the above, you’ll find him contemplating whether it's an old fashioned or spicy margarita kinda day, looking for his daughter's shoe, or yapping about how good his golf game is supposedly going.
