A course by Daniel Granatta
Daniel Granatta is an advertising and innovation expert. Although he was born in Spain, he's been living between the United States and Mexico for over ten years.
He stumbled upon his love for advertising and innovation by chance. Since he had studied engineering and knew how to code, when he finally discovered multimedia programs such as Macromedia Director and Flash, what used to look like numbers on a screen to him had become moving objects that users could interact with.
He founded a small company with two friends and worked on building multimedia interfaces and experiences for many years. He always remained very curious about why people actually used them or not, until one day he decided to study anthropology.
Daniel is currently an innovation and futures design consultant. For many years, he also worked in advertising and creative agencies such as Grupo W, JWT, and Flock as a creative director. He has since sparked a movement that seeks to bring about disruptive change in the Mexican advertising industry.
In his role as an advertiser, he has won important awards in the industry, including 6 Cannes Lions in a single year, and he has been a jury member at a large number of festivals.
He is also a book author and a columnist for various magazines and blogs and teaches at universities and schools in Spain, the United States, and Mexico.
