I start typing with an overwhelming sense of defeat. Not because the trip I’m about to describe — at the end of August — went badly, but because it feels almost impossible to put into words what I experienced there. No adjective seems big enough to capture what it truly means to live “Burning Man.” […]
With dams in Costa Rica, the question could be repeated and posed only 3 years from now, as we do not see feasible options for a functioning and effective capital city. However, the 8-decade visualization exercise was done in Honda, and the [...]
In a recent interview by The Economist, Bill Gates insists that technology has to work for poor people, and justifies the reasons to be optimistic about the future based on its advantages. His view of the current crisis, and his opinion on [...]
Even with the crisis deep in the minds of the most pessimistic, this data reflects much of the world we are still living in today. If there are those who really think that the recession implies a kind of time-out, perhaps it [...]

This screen breaker by Saatchi Saatchi New Zealand, shows the perfect application of technological resources to add to a brand’s OneWordEquity: unbreakable. The app uses the Mac’s built-in camera, and delivers a fun experience, as well as a lively talking point. If [...]
When Peru won its first lion at Cannes, it did so with this story and this commercial. At its presentation at the Grand Palais, the statuette was accompanied by a standing ovation that validated its delivery and its human reach in every [...]
