Instructor Spotlight on Vic Parizzotto
Before becoming an award-winning creative in the U.S., Vic Parizzotto was already building strong work in São Paulo, one of the most competitive advertising markets in the world. With a solid creative foundation and a clear ambition to work globally, she made a strategic move to attend Miami Ad School’s New York / Queens campus, using the experience to expand her reach and sharpen her thinking.
Now based in New York, Vic used Miami Ad School as a way to push her work beyond borders, focusing on ideas that could travel across cultures while staying true to her voice. When she graduated, her portfolio spoke for itself, and she received three job offers from major agencies in New York and Miami.
Today, she brings over a decade of experience to the industry as an Associate Creative Director, leading ideas with clarity, empathy, and purpose. She has worked with major global brands including PlayStation, Durex, Samsung, and USPS.
Her work has earned widespread recognition, winning awards from Cannes Lions, Clio, The One Show, D&AD, and New York Festivals, and she has also served as a jury member and mentor for top competitions, helping shape the next generation of creative talent.
Vic now teaches Product Creation at Miami Ad School, where she brings real-world experience into the classroom and has developed her own creative framework, the Candy Machine method, to help students generate unique, powerful ideas. Every quarter, she celebrates her students’ wins, saying:
“It feels more gratifying to see my students’ wins than my own. It truly makes me happy to see them thriving.”
Despite her accolades, Vic’s philosophy is simple: “Before being a good creative, be a good person. Being kind, willing, and humble is important in this industry.” She also reminds students that rejection is part of the journey:
“We’ll hear many no’s. Don’t let that stop you. We just need one person to say yes, and that can change our careers.”
Vic Parizzotto’s journey shows that strong foundations, strategic moves, and generosity with knowledge can open doors anywhere. For Miami Ad School students, her story is a reminder to think globally, stay human, and create work that truly matters.
