Margherita Maestro, a graduate in Literature, embarked on her advertising journey at Ogilvy, where she tackled projects for clients like American Express and Dove. Her creative flair then took her to DDB, where she worked on brands like Audi and IKEA. Before joining McCann, for the past three years, she has shaped campaigns at VML (previously Wunderman Thompson), lending her pen to Škoda, ITA Airways, and Nestlé. Her work has reached the podium - or at least hovered nearby! - at prestigious awards such as Cannes Lions, Epica, Webby, and Eurobest. Named after Bulgakov’s famous novel "The Master and Margarita", Margherita is, unsurprisingly, an avid reader. When she's not busy crafting campaigns, she indulges in knitting and embroidery—though her small daughter often ensures those hobbies remain just aspirational.
