About

I’m Guillaume Blanc, an award-winning Creative Director and Copywriter with over 20 years of experience shaping integrated campaigns, films, activations and brand platforms for major brands and public-interest causes. My work has always been driven by pop culture, local relevance and human truth. Recently relocating to Lomé, Togo— a country I’ve known closely for more than two decades—I’m excited by the opportunity to contribute my experience, curiosity and creative energy to West Africa’s dynamic market.

From leading creative teams at Havas Paris to directing independent film projects in West Africa, I translate briefs into bold creative platforms that drive business value. I thrive in cross-disciplinary collaboration across strategy, production and storytelling, and I’m comfortable delivering across brand, film, social and activation work for B2B and B2C clients as well as public-interest campaigns. I’m ready to bring a human-centered, culturally resonant approach to new opportunities, including Ogilvy Africa in Ghana.
