Q&A with Marcos Pacheco

When you need to reset creatively, what’s your go-to hobby or activity?
Muay Thai or riding my bike—anything that lets me shift focus and channel my energy into something physical and instinctive. 
What would people be surprised to know about you?
I was interviewed on an episode of Sesame Street by Telly Monster - We insulted each other and came close to getting into a physical altercation. This happened. 
If you weren’t a Creative Director, what would you be doing?
Hmmm. Not sure what else I’d be good at, but I know I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. 
If your computer could talk, what do you think it would say about you as an Creative Director?
