Alloutte Mendes

I’m an experienced Creative Operations and Project Manager with over 28 years of leadership in the advertising and design industry. As founder and Creative Director of a successful below-the-line agency in South Africa, I’ve led complex packaging, promotional, and branding projects for global clients like PepsiCo. I thrive on streamlining workflows, managing cross-functional teams, and delivering high-impact creative solutions. Now based in Scotland, I’m seeking remote opportunities where I can bring my strategic thinking, hands-on leadership, and passion for operational excellence to a forward-thinking creative or marketing agency.

With over 30 years in the advertising and packaging sectors, I have successfully led creative, print, and production projects from concept to completion. As founder of a Below-the-Line agency in South Africa, I managed national packaging and promotional campaigns for FMCG brands, overseeing artwork development, print liaison, and brand consistency across large SKU ranges. My strengths lie in client communication, project workflow management, and maintaining quality under tight deadlines. Now based in Scotland, I bring seasoned expertise in creative operations and packaging production to roles within dynamic, design-focused environments.
