All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this. In the past, when I called myself a publicist and entrepreneur, my writing was often driven by a need to build my personal […]
This week Comunidad elected its new board of directors for the next two years. I wish them much success and the best results in these times that demand so much from us. For this reason, I celebrate the integration of talents that [...]
Advertising Age named him the most influential publicist of the twentieth century. Apple included him among the world personalities who inspired its “Think Different” campaign. The B in DDB stands for his last name. I write a few paragraphs about Bill Bernbach, [...]
Technology is the most powerful accelerator in advertising creativity. Brands around the world are proliferating and next June Cannes will have more cases that prove this to be true. The speed of change is only increasing and today it is reckless. Let’s [...]

Ever since I started in advertising I have heard of Tony Fergo. Today I have the immense honor and the joy of being his friend. Also his fan, his admirer and his tico follower in all his creativity and energy. Among the [...]
Purdy Motor is a client of Tribu DDB as of today. It didn’t happen 20 years ago or 10 years ago, but today. Because even though we tried several times before, finally everything is always in its time. Returning from 5 years [...]
Talento, tecnología y tolerancia han sido valores protegidos por esta ciudad, que hace años me enseñó esta idea para tener éxito creativo. Austin es tan diferente que ni parece Texas, no por los edificios, la geografía o las franquicias que ahí están, [...]
With about 10 kilos more than last year, Bruce Sterling filled Hall D again with thousands of people who came to listen to his closing of SXSW. Too fine a humor for me or too gringo for a Latino, but the first [...]
