  • A Short Biography

    DataSelected is the online presence of Pierre Marly, an Art Director and Graphic Designer, currently living and working in Reykjavík, Iceland.

    Despite successfully graduating with a BA and a MA in political science (and another MA in multimedia project management), Pierre chose the adventurous world of graphic design.

    Pierre worked for three years in a non-profit organization as a Communication Manager before joining one of the best advertising agencies in the world — BETC Euro RSCG (Paris) — as an Interactive Art Director.

    At BETC Euro RSCG he worked for leading brands, dealing with exciting interactive projects from the early concept until the production stage, in cooperation with project managers, creative directors and online copywriters.

    His academic background combined with his proficiency in art direction has been valuable in understanding clients, evaluating their needs and servicing them in the most appropriate way.

    For more than a year, Pierre has been living in Iceland. He is currently hired as an Art Director in a small creative agency dedicated to online production.

He immediately understood the specificities of the brands we worked for, and commited himself in providing the best creative work that would support the strategic direction build for the client. He is a very detail-oriented, open-minded art director, with a fantastic knowledge of the do's and don'ts of online creative work. He brought to life some incredible material that is now a reference for our future projects.”
