FOUNDER

Conde

STAGE was founded and is led by creative director Rafael Conde, widely known as Conde.

With over 25 years of experience in the creative industry, Conde has built a career at the intersection of art direction, design, strategy, and creativity. Throughout his career, he has led communication projects for brands including Coca-Cola, Netflix, Google, Itaú, Localiza, Uber, Unilever, and Nestlé, while holding creative leadership positions at some of the leading companies and agencies in Brazil and internationally.

His journey also expanded into entertainment and music, bringing his experience in communication into the creation of major live experiences. His work includes projects for Rock in Rio and The Town, as well as the creative direction of tours and live shows for artists such as Liniker — Caju Tour and Bye Bye Caju, Sandy & Junior — Nossa História, IZA at Rock in Rio, and Jota Quest — 25 Years. It is from this intersection, behind the scenes, of communication, culture, and the stage that STAGE emerged.

An independent creative studio with a clear vision: to bring the same strategic thinking, craft, and creative excellence of the world's leading brands into the music industry, combined with the sensitivity required to understand artists, their stories, and their communities.

From strategy to identity. From narrative to image. From the first concept to the moment the lights come on.

STAGE creates identities, narratives, experiences, and creative direction for artists and projects across music, culture, and entertainment — connecting everything that happens before the stage to what audiences ultimately see, feel, and carry with them.

STAGE — Ideas Beyond the Stage.
