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: 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. To him, what matters is: a big idea, zero boredom, and the potential to break the internet.
He’s also the creator and curator of theartofendcards.com, a library dedicated to one of the most overlooked moments in advertising: the end card.

Martins began his career as a graphic designer in Riga, Latvia. After five years in design, his passion for ideas led him to advertising and Miami Ad School San Francisco. A design background combined with ad school training turned him into a creative assassin, and he’s been killing it ever since.
Over the past decade, he has worked at agencies including Droga5, BBDO New York, and INNOCEAN USA, creating award-winning campaigns for brands such as Genesis, Foot Locker, Newcastle Beer, Motorola, Nike, Asics, Sandy Hook Promise, and Twix.
​
Martins is also the author of The Art Of End Cards, an online book. A guide to crafting effective end cards.
​
Currently, Martins is available for freelance opportunities.
