We’re Marlus & Maicon, the creative directing duo. But if that is a mouthful, you can call us M&M. Short and Sweet.

  • Since you have come so far, here’s more about us:

    Marlus Lau is a Brazilian with German great-grandparents and a Chinese last name. He intended to be a maestro, a surfer, or a vet. He ended up being a creative working for big brands such as Burger King, Coca-Cola, Verizon, Samsung, Meta, Nike, Toyota, Canon, Cup Noodles, and Lexus. Life is crazy, right?
