01About

I make sure what agencies promise is what clients get.

Nuno Silva

I’m the bridge between clients and the teams that deliver for them: aligning scope, priorities and expectations, and growing relationships that last.

I’ve been building digital since 1996. I co-founded Wiz Interactive in 1998 and ran it for 22 years. Then, as Head of Digital at BUS, I grew digital revenue, cut external vendor costs and brought AI into creative and research workflows.

I combine a technical background (M.Sc. in Computer Science, specialised in Virtual Reality and UX) with professional acting training — invaluable in presentations, negotiations and building trust. I lead with strategy and execute with words: as a hands-on copywriter, I bridge data and human emotion.
