Cadillac Slow Down

Ramadan is traditionally associated with peace and self-reflection.
However, 7 in 10 people find it overwhelming, due to traffic, social obligations and excessive advertising.

Instead of adding to the noise of the season, like most brands do, what if we could help people escape it?

In partnership with three iconic Arab artists, we launched an illustrated series that helped viewers embrace the calm of Ramadan and escape the noise. Created with binaural beats, each episode featured Cadillac's most silent vehicle, and tackled the factors that overwhelm people during the holy month. As a result, we connected with audiences by helping them disconnect.

Portfolio

Hey! I'm Juliana, a Senior Art Director and Graphic Designer with 11 years of experience creating work across North America, Latin America, and the Middle East. I've collaborated with independent agencies, NGOs, and global networks like BBDO, Ogilvy, Cheil and Saatchi & Saatchi, always combining storytelling, design, and cultural insight to shape meaningful creative work.
 
My experience spans a wide range of projects, from large-scale campaigns for international brands to hands-on work in idea generation, design and art direction.

I've helped tell meaningful stories for brands like Bodyform, Cadillac, Saudi Tourism, Samsung, and even the Emirates Mars Mission. Mentoring younger creatives is also an important part of my practice, supporting others in finding their voice and developing their craft.

When I’m not working, I’m usually digging through obscure music or experimenting with visuals. It’s what keeps me going (and probably my coping mechanism).
