About

Jose Jorge Netto is a freelance creative and art director with 15 years of experience. He currently collaborates with Apple, developing campaigns and visual language for Apple Sports and Apple TV. His recent clients include global brands such as Nike, Google, Ray-Ban, and Meta, and personalities like Lionel Messi and Travis Scott.
 
Previously, as a creative director on Nike, Jose led the repositioning and rebranding of Nike Diamond (baseball and softball), resulting in double-digit growth in youth MLB viewership, Little League participation, and Nike Diamond’s social media following. He also worked closely with pro skateboarder Ishod Wair and Nike SB to create the launch film for Ishod’s first signature shoe, which set records for views and shares across Nike SB’s channels and contributed to the shoes selling out in 24 hours.
 
Earlier in his career, Jose worked as an art director on the celebrated “got milk?” campaign. Beyond commercials, he co-created Bones Love Milk, an irreverent action sports and lifestyle brand for “got milk?” that evolved into a world-class professional skateboard team and a popular hub for action sports culture.
 
Over the years, his work has consistently received media attention, including features in The New York Times, GQ Sports, and Complex, and has produced tangible business results for his clients.
 
Originally from abroad, Jose moved to the U.S. as a teenager on an athletic scholarship. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Utah State University and a Master of Arts in Advertising from The University of Texas at Austin, where he also served as a teaching assistant and researcher while completing the school’s creative portfolio program.
