Founded by someone who knows production from the inside
Mariana Sierra has 16 years in creative production, with projects recognized at some of the most prestigious advertising festivals in the world. Her leadership began at VICE Brasil, where she shaped the video department and launched branded content production in the country.
At Sunset, she set up creative production for brands such as Seara and Nextel and led the audiovisual work for the Spotify launch in Brazil. She helped found the country’s first YouTube lab, at Pueri Domus with 301.yt, produced original web series for Refinery29 and was Photo & Video Manager at Netflix Brasil.
At Gataria, she offers production, video consulting and the set-up of in-house production departments, with clients such as DM9, TracyLocke and Catraca Livre.
