In a conversation with Bruno Gimenes on Marketing - The Podcast, Bruna Pavani discussed her professional journey of over 20 years in advertising agencies and how she integrates diverse disciplines into her routine, including performing arts, coaching, and motherhood. The full Season 6 episode also covers go-to-market strategies and brand positioning.
In the video above, Pavani details how she built a multidisciplinary career and structured her professional transitions. Describing her approach to work, she emphasizes: "I am an advertising executive, and I consider myself somewhat of a polymath in terms of the various fronts I engage in and dive deep into whenever I commit to them."
Agency trajectory and new business leadership
Her journey began as an intern at África, rotating through departments at DM9 before establishing herself in account management. Pavani spent 11 years at Publicis and worked at W3 before taking a career break to support her father during a hospital stay. Later, she joined Frati, where she has completed a year and a half, starting in operations before taking charge of new business leadership.
Regarding corporate mindset, Pavani reinforces the value of wholehearted dedication to projects: "I truly commit wherever I am, embracing the place because I only go to places I believe in, allowing me to dive deep into what I do." She also highlights the agency's empathetic, human-centric culture, alongside her participation as a juror for the Effie Awards, hosted by Meio & Mensagem, an account within Frati's client portfolio.
Performing arts, coaching, and motherhood time management
Parallel to advertising, Pavani graduated as an actress and TV host in 2012, working intermittently on commercial shoots and audiovisual projects. In 2023, she completed coaching training driven by personal development and raising her daughters, conducting client sessions in the evening.
Mother to 6-year-old Júlia and 9 months pregnant with her second daughter at the time of recording, Pavani reflects on how family life affects professional efficiency: "Motherhood drives my productivity precisely because you have no time to lose. Whatever time you have, you have to make it count."
