Jorge Martínez

Trained as a graphic designer, he was a founding partner of Germinal Comunicación, a point of reference in the area of design and creative communication, where he was Executive Creative Director, running highly-disciplined projects that have achieved numerous prizes and acknowledgement at festivals such as “El Sol” (Platinum Sun), FIAP (Platinum Sun and Latin American Cup), Intercontinental Advertising Cup (Grand Cup), Club de Creativos (Gold CdeC), Art Director´s Club of Europe and Effectiveness Awards. In 2012, he directed the short film Minera, an audiovisual poem that tells us about the visit by the flamenco singer Rocío Márquez to the inside of the Santa Cruz mine in Sil, in León, where a group of miners locked themselves in for fifty days as a sign of protest against the closure of the coal mines. Minera was released on www.elpais.com and on Canal+, and was awarded at numerous festivals, including the Miradas-Doc Festival, International Festival in Cante de las Minas, which gave it the Pencho Cros Award for Audiovisual Arts or the Laus Awards, which gave two Grand Laus to a single project in the same year for the first time since they began. The immense transformative power of ideas, a non-conformist attitude, and sensitivity to social issues led this unconventional creative director to dedicate all of his efforts and his creative energy on running social projects and, currently, Jorge Martínez centres his work in the context of social innovation, developing projects and ideas for organisations such as Oceana, Fundación Vicente Ferrer, Save The Children, the UN Millennium Campaign, Paz y Desarrollo, Rescate Internacional and Médicos Sin Fronteras (Doctors Without Borders) Spain. Recently, Jorge Martínez was chosen by Fundación Telefónica to direct the campaign for the project “Alimenta la Innovación”, featuring Ferrán Adrià.
