Meet Pablo Semmartin | Creative Director

We had the good fortune of connecting with Pablo Semmartin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Pablo, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Basically, over the years I have seen how large companies did not give space to the formation of new creative departments, but preferred to buy content already made by specialist companies. I thought it was a good time to move to the other side of the desk and dedicate myself to formulate products at the customer’s request.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I love thinking of stories, creating characters, taking them by the hand to make them live in a show; I also love creating entertainment programs; I think entertaining people in a time as disruptive as this one is a contribution to having a good time away from problems. I am proud to have spent so many years contributing emotions to TV shows that millions of people watched like ShowMatch in my country of origin, Argentina. The road was not easy but people like Marcelo Tinelli, who in my opinion is, was and will be the most relevant figure in the Argentine television industry, have helped me a lot. This path that is a career in the television industry tests your ego all the time, luckily over the years you understand that professional success and failure is relative; As long as you put your mind and heart on family and affections, the rest is just a song you listen to while driving through your life. In short, I would like, more than the public, my children to remember me as a person who loved what he did, and they can show their children a little of their grandfather’s heart through my stories.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Miami is a beautiful city, South Florida is incredibly beautiful. I would take him to places where the culture of Miami is floating in the air. First, to see a game of the Dolphins, so that he sees a sporting spectacle different from soccer (since I am Argentine). Then of course to go for a boat ride along the canal, seeing wonderful places like Brickel Key. I would take him to eat some good ribbs at Shorty’s and finally to enjoy a chat with some incredible cocktails at Cafe Prima Pasta.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
In my adolescence, there was a book by an Argentine author named Alejandro Dolina entitled “El angel Gris”. When I read it I felt that the writer had entered me and expressed those moments of my life as if my sensations were his typewriter. A magical reality that took me directly to this port which is to think and develop ideas.
