Vincent Montocchio
Managing Director CIRCUS! & Chief Creative Officer Publicis Groupe Africa

Following his studies in Visual Communication in Paris, Vincent began his career as an Art Director at LOWE ALICE in 1998, one of the most successful French advertising agencies of that time. After seven years, he headed to his homeland as Creative Director of CIRCUS!. Under his creative direction, the agency became the most awarded in the region and won several awards in Africa, including The Loeries and The Sabre. In 2022, for the first time in history, CIRCUS! Offers Mauritius its first shortlist in Cannes Lions. 

On top of running CIRCUS! in Mauritius, Vincent has been appointed Chief Creative Officer of Publicis Groupe Africa, a network of 63 agencies spread over the continent. His main role is to create and nurture a spirit of creative excellence throughout the relatively new network in Africa. He did so mainly through the launch of the Giraffes Awards, an annual celebration of the best work from the network.

Vincent is passionate about art. Besides being a songwriter and composer, he is a photographer with several exhibitions to his credit in Mauritius and Africa. He was selected among 30 African photographers for a major exhibition at the Pan-African Festival of Algiers in 2009. More recently, he was selected by Google Art in collaboration with Interactive Africa for an exciting project. Colour Hunting, Colours of Africa highlights one artist per country in a collaborative project to be featured on Google Art in 2022.
