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 […]
From Melbourne, we got the stupid ways to die, in reference to the carelessness with which people usually expose themselves in dangerous places. In this particular case by McCann, in relation to the city’s trains and the accidents they seek to reduce [...]
I am convinced that each one of us can contribute to making the world a better place, even at the risk of sounding cliché. We can do it in our homes, in the community we live in, in the country we live [...]
A few days ago I published a post with the campaign of the moment by Dove, called“Sketches“. It has been so well received that it is among the most shared in the world. However, there is another idea from the same brand, [...]

You will probably agree with me that we live between poles. Whether you like them or not, whether they shock you a little or too much, whether they attract you or bore you, life goes inexorably between one pole and the other. [...]
For years I thought I would die young. A few days ago I became aware of the fact that once again I have been wrong. However, as a Nike commercial from years ago says, I may have gray hair and wrinkles but [...]
Year after year and for many years, Del Campo Saatchi Saatchi has surprised us with their ideas, and when it seemed that they could not beat the last one, they come up with an even better one. With “Almost Identical” they already [...]
