A B O U T
To most, Martins sounds like a typo, until you meet him. It’s as if his parents knew one name couldn’t contain his personality, so they went plural.
Martins’ creative style is all about action: do more, be proactive, write your own briefs, and make work that resonates. He blurs the line between advertising and entertainment because, in his eyes, a good ad shouldn’t feel like one. Whether it’s traditional campaigns or branded entertainment, he thrives across mediums, always chasing three things: a big idea, zero boredom, and the potential to break the internet.
As a passionate and collaborative leader, Martins manages multiple accounts, works closely with strategy and account teams, and leads creatives to deliver meaningful, high-impact work.
Off the clock, you’ll find him attempting to surf (with embarrassing results), binging anime, or perfecting his tiramisu recipe.

Martins began his career as a graphic designer in Riga, Latvia. After five years of designing, his love for conceptual design led him to advertising, and he enrolled in Miami Ad School San Francisco.
Straight out of advertising school, he landed a job at Droga5 (NY) in 2014, where he created award-winning work for Newcastle Beer, Motorola, and Jockey.
In 2016 Martins joined BBDO NY, where he received awards for his work on Foot Locker, Sandy Hook Promise, and other campaigns. In his first year as a creative director at BBDO NY, he created two award-winning campaigns for Foot Locker.
​In 2021 Martins returned to Droga5 as a creative director on brands like Meta (previously Facebook), Chase, IHOP, and Essentia Water.
In 2022, Martins took on the role of Executive Creative Director at the creative production house Mustache. There, he built a creative department, worked on accounts like Google, Grammarly, and Netflix. And also helped create the new season of the viral hit TV series "Most Expensivest."
​
From 2022 to 2025, Martins led the Genesis account at INNOCEAN USA, helping elevate brand recognition for the newcomer in the luxury automotive space. His work contributed to consistent year-over-year sales growth, but don’t just take my word for it, here’s what INNOCEAN’s Chief Creative Officer, Jason Sperling, has to say.

Currently, Martins is available for freelance opportunities.
