CORU is a creative organism for new forms of expression. A platform for creating from what is felt.
CREAT. OBSERVE.
REACT. UNITE.
CORU is a Lisbon-based creative platform with a multicultural vision and a global reach.
We blend art, technology, behaviour, culture and cinematic imagination to create visual media work that moves across platforms, audiences and territories.
We develop creative strategy, digital and social campaigns, interactive storytelling, visual content, films, design, animation and activations for brands, culture and media.
Direct, alive, curious, irreverent and sensory, CORU listens before it creates, reacts before it repeats, and creates from what is felt.

Maria João Ares.
Creative Producer
Started out as a camera operator and videographer, with a strong creative drive in both writing and visual thinking. Over time, production naturally found her: she has managed campaigns as a project manager and now bridges creative direction and production, making sure ideas reach the screen with coherence, craft and sensitivity.
Years of experience as a camera operator gave him a sharp eye for technique and detail. More recently he has been directing for television and focusing on client relationships, turning needs into visual solutions and keeping projects aligned, clear and moving forward.
