Acsys Interactive Expands Presence in New York by Welcoming Lino Ribolla as Managing Director of NY Office and ECD

Acsys Interactive announces the addition of Lino Ribolla, Managing Director of the NY office and Executive Creative Director, to the senior management team. Lino arrives with over 15 years of experience in the digital advertising industry, having created best-in-class interactive and integrated campaigns for well-known Fortune 100 clients. As Managing Director, Lino will possess the central responsibility of overseeing Acsys' expansion in the NY office where Acsys can better serve clients and access a wider labor pool. Also, as ECD Lino is responsible for managing the creative output of the office.

"I am excited and pleased to welcome aboard Lino," comments Stan Valencis, President of Acsys. "His outstanding background and innovative branding plans are an exceptional addition to the expansion of the New York office and to this company."

Lino joined Acsys for a number of reasons including its size, its strong foundation, and for the vision of Stan Valencis. "Having previously worked on large networks, it was difficult to get work done. Acsys possesses a leaner and nimbler operation, which is terrific for completing work," says Lino. "I believe that more and more great work will be a collaboration of creative and technical elements and Acsys already maintains a sturdy foundation in these essentials." He added, "Stan's vision was a great influence over my decision to join Acsys because he sets his sights high for quality numbers, not monetary numbers as other companies do."

Lino has global experience as he was previously Creative Director of OgilvyOne in NY and ECD of OgilvyOne in the UK. Additional international experience includes having been the ECD of Modem Media office in the UK and Paris. He is a native of Brazil where he worked there as the Art Editor of O Globo, one of the country's leading newspapers, and Head of the Creative Department of TV Cultura, Brazil's public television network. He has won major international awards, including Gold Lions, One Show, NY Festivals, Revolution, Grand Prix, DMA, British DMA, Webby, and more. Lino has a Master's Degree in Computer Graphics from Pratt Institute, NY, where he remained as an instructor for a couple of years.

Lino's addition will make a significant impact on Acsys' further creative productivity for its clients. Lino says, "I am excited and challenged by the expansion in New York. My duties as both ECD and Managing Director of the NY office will surely not be easy, but to ensure a great future for this company, we need to allow Acsys to do what it does best and deliver great interactive experiences to clients in different locations."
