Rodrigo Benavides, is Partner and creative general director of Bife. In more than 24 years of experience, the "fat man", as he is known, has done almost everything. He has been a junior editor, planner, art director and partner... finally ending up in the area that he likes the most, creativity. In these two decades linked to advertising, he learned that the most skilled is the one who can understand his environment, know the audiences and generate changes from there. Changes for people.
