Katrina Encanto
- Executive Creative Director
- Netherlands
Katrina Encanto is a creative leader with a unique lens on the world, shaped by living and working in the Philippines, Italy, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. She draws from this wealth of experience to give each brand a voice of their own.
She feels most lit up when she is creating work that shifts perspectives: that dirt is good, that gender bias starts earlier than we think, and that a guy called Drink Water can be as legendary as Lionel Messi.
She brings a mix of tenacity and care into her day job, finding possibilities in impossible briefs, whilst always looking out for craft and people.
In the past 20 years, together with her partner EJ Galang and brilliant teams around the world, she has won over 75 awards from D&AD, Cannes Lions, Clios, Eurobest, The One Show, amongst others. Her London office became back to back Effie Agency of the Year, and her Bangkok office the most creative agency in the country, as a direct result of her leadership on projects.
She loves talking about creative ideas, and is always up for a podcast, panel, or a jury discussion with people who share the same passion. She has served as Jury President for D&AD, Gerety, Shots and ADCN.
Outside of her job, she sings off-key to 90’s hip hop, dabbles with fun ways to exercise, and has daily dance parties with her 5-year old son.
