Rinat Galiev

copywriter and creative director in Kazan, Russia

Hi! Once you are here, let's get aquainted! Rinat is my first name, you know, like Elvis or Jaques or Fidel or Matsuoshi.

The name means, ehm, oh well, "a guy who once woke up in the morning, made 20 push-ups, took shower, had his breakfast, kissed his wife and his small daughter, left his house, crossed the street, got kidnapped by the aliens, killed the aliens' evil president, hijacked a flying saucer, landed well, crossed the street, came back home, kissed his wife, his daughter and his small grandson, took shower, had dinner, went to bed, fell asleep, woke up in the morning..."

Oh, just kidding. It's Latin, actually, and means "reborn". I'm 47. I'm an independent creative director with a 20+ years experience in brand communications residing in Kazan, Russia. I'm a brand namer, a copywriter, a storyteller, a hard riffs lover, a kinetic typography starer. That's that. Sorry gotta go, it's time to cross the street.

P.S. I was reborn twice, by the way. Firstly after an accident in 1997, second - after an accident in 2003. Bloody aliens! So, I'm the Real Rinat.

P.P.S. Rinat Galiev is pronounced like [ri:'nʌt gʌ'li:ev]

P.P.P.S. If you need a stars-rocking brand name or any sort of brand communication ideas feel free to contact me!
