Lisbon full-service communications agency with a health practice and in-house SEO
About Creative Minds
Creative Minds is a Portuguese communications agency headquartered in the Parque das Nações district of Lisbon, with teams also in Porto and Oeiras. It was founded in 2006. All work is produced in-house, without subcontracting, and the agency is fully dedicated to each client's brand.
The agency is led by CEO Paulo Domingues and Executive Director Patrícia Domingues. Bruno Martins is chief creative officer, Ricardo Jorge directs mobile and web development, and Catarina Gramaço manages digital performance. The team includes account and brand managers, graphic designers, web developers, a multimedia lead and a video and photography specialist.
Work is split across departments for PR and communications, design, web development, multimedia, consulting and digital performance. The performance team runs Google, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn ads, and handles SEO through audits, keyword research, content optimisation and link building. It also offers content marketing, conversion rate optimisation, social media management, email marketing, remarketing and mobile speed work. No analytics tools or results are published for this work.
Health is a focus. In 2016 health was one of the agency's major and fastest-growing areas, and it hired a senior consultant with experience on pharmaceutical and hospital accounts to strengthen it. Clients include the Instituto de Implantologia, a Lisbon dental implant clinic, along with the Faculty of Medicine of Porto, Galp, Universidade Católica and the national mint. Clients also include the Portuguese fertility association APFertilidade.
Feedback is mixed. The agency is rated 4.7 on Google from 73 reviews, and recent reviews praise professional, creative work. Several older one-star reviews from 2015 to 2022 complain about missed deliveries, designs that did not suit the brand and slow responses to feedback. The average rate is about 50 US dollars an hour, with budgets on enquiry.
For a dental clinic or group in Portugal, Creative Minds offers one team for press relations, branding, website, video and paid and organic search, plus some direct experience with an implant clinic. That breadth suits a practice planning a launch, rebrand or awareness campaign. A clinic mainly seeking focused local SEO should ask how much of the work goes to search versus advertising and PR, and should request references from health clients.
