Ernesto Sumarkho

Ernesto is an Associate Creative Director and Senior Art Director who has led creative work across major global and local brands, won new business, mentored creative teams, and picked up both international and local awards along the way.

Ernesto has worked at Special Group, M&C Saatchi, AnalogFolk, Digitas, Akcelo, Bastion, CX Lavender and more. He has created campaigns for Uber, Commonwealth Bank, Telstra, Nissan, Westpac, American Express, Salesforce, ASB, Hendricks Gin, Kraken Rum, Jose Cuervo, BWS, MECCA, Batiste, Bupa, Rebel Sport, Le Coq Sportif, OzHarvest, Cancer Institute and Greenpeace.

Outside of advertising, Ernesto is a documentary and fine art photographer, which is a fancy way of saying he takes photos of people and places that make him feel things. Sometimes those photos end up in exhibitions. In his downtime, he also likes to watch films, listen to perfectly timed notes, dabble in thai boxing, be a Liverpool FC fan and travel with a camera in hand.
