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.

Very good idea, will I go in flip-flops, will there be thongs, will the sea be cold?
When I was offered the cover of the first issue of Ego, several years ago, I had no hesitation in refusing the kind offer. The name of the magazine and my unfamiliarity with its new format led me to pass up the [...]

In the “round table” of the Superschool, which were more like online chairs, we had three opinions about this campaign. Here is the video with the comments of Andrés Artavia, Manuel Travisany and Pancho Terán. Cheers!
Being in Cannes last year for the first time in my life, I received so much from the experience that I still don’t stop gaining from that experience of exposure to the most important advertising festival in the world. There is so [...]
