Cleans up at Clios, D&AD, One Show, Ad Age, ANDY's...
BIC is super proud, but not surprised to see Creative Director Castro Desroches BIC '16 win award after award in Translation’s latest campaign “You Love Me” for Beats by Dre. The campaign, which was directed by Melina Matsoukas(Queen & Slim) and written by Lena Waithe with music by Solange Knowles, celebrates Black resilience and explores the question of how the "world loves the culture and everything that is yielded from Black creation, but they don't love the humanity."
After graduating from BIC in 2016, Castro worked as an Art Director at Droga5 where he curated powerful work at the intersection of culture and art. At Translation, he comes in hot with “You Love Me,” the winningest campaign of the new decade. So without further ado...here are the awards (and counting...) for "You Love Me."
