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 […]
We are so convinced that we live in the Switzerland of the Americas that many do not want change or NAFTA. We live such a pure life, that there is no shortage of those who have no interest in competition, legitimate self-improvement, [...]
In the United States, as in any country, brand counts more than politicians and analysts are willing to acknowledge. And in this case, in 2008 it will be Hillary Clinton who will win the elections, in my personal opinion, because she is [...]
A few years ago, a book fell into my hands and I did not pay much attention to it, initially. However, it is enough to take its teachings from nature to understand: the light of a sunny day is diluted by the [...]

At about 15 minutes before midnight, we celebrated in Tribu the 4th consecutive Volcano for Agency of the Year. After a demanding and not at all complacent awarding, this year’s jury distributed prizes among several companies, although once again we scored enough [...]
We all want success and fame. We want to be admired, respected and even applauded. Right? On a Volcano, in Cannes, Hollywood or in a public square, on stage or at home. Yet, when someone asks: Who has achieved real success, few [...]
Since Volcano hasn’t happened yet, I don’t have much new to tell you. What I can think is that it will be the prelude to a pitched battle next year for several reasons. If we consider this week’s competition, we could expect [...]
