Manuel Lopez G.
CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT DAZN
I'm a Creative Director who lives at the intersection of big ideas and smart business. With deep experience in brand strategy, digital marketing, and content development for global sports media brands, I’ve led cross-functional teams to create work that not only inspires—but delivers. I believe in creative that moves the needle: campaigns that elevate brand perception, spark engagement, and drive measurable growth.

"I’ve learned that creative excellence is often treated as a “nice-to-have,” not a business priority."
 That’s where I come in—not just to lead the work, but to advocate for it. I spend just as much time educating across departments and building alignment at the executive level as I do crafting the creative itself. I work to show through results that strong creative isn’t just decoration. It’s a strategic asset that can transform the bottom line.

And like many creative leaders, I had to learn how to navigate corporate systems while holding onto a creative vision. That journey taught me that the most effective in-house creative work doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It thrives when there’s cross-functional collaboration, leadership buy-in, and a deep understanding of how creative supports business goals.

My mission is to embed creativity into the core of strategy because when that happens, the impact is undeniable.
