Hello, my name is Douglas Kozonoe a.k.a. dogura.
I'm currently working as Chief Creative Officer at MRM Brazil.
As CCO of MRM Brazil, I ranked the agency among the Top 11 most creative in Brazil according to the Cannes Lions ranking and Top 20 in Latin America in 2024 and 2025.
Also, I was recognized 2025 Top 100 Creative Leaders according to Creativepool.
I have more than 25 years' experience in digital advertising and during my career I have won several awards, including: Cannes Lions (Brazil's first Gold Lion in Creative Commerce and the first ever Mastercard Brazil's Silver Lion), One Show, D&AD, London International Awards, Clio Awards, New York Festival, Effie, JayChiat and all the Latin American awards. In total, I've won more than 50 advertising awards.
I have served as a juror for Cannes Lions in Creative Commerce, D&AD in Commerce, the Effie Awards Brazil and Latam, the El Ojo Festival, and the Brazilian Creative Club festival, among other regional advertising festivals.
I hold a degree in Musical Arts with a focus on electric bass from the Villa Lobos Conservatory, a degree in Design from Mackenzie University, and a postgraduate degree in Communication, Art, and Technology from Belas Artes university in São Paulo.
Fun fact: My grandparents couldn't pronounce my name because of their Japanese accent, so they used to call me "dogura".
