2025 has been a year of contrasts—intense, emotional, transformative. It began with a heartfelt farewell and ends with my soul wide open after the magical, peaceful family moments we usually share in Escondida. In between, there was laughter under a sky full of fireflies outside Kuala Lumpur with my grandson Mauricio; a spiritual retreat in […]
Marcela Pacheco is in Buenos Aires, igniting her advertising creativity with Brother, which indicates to me that the experience of that school of creatives in Costa Rica was positive and challenging. Truth be told: some were uncomfortable because of a delicate epidermis, [...]

Last night we repeated Agency of the Year for the third consecutive Volcano, after the closest game played on these courts for as long as I can remember. And here, let the twitters tell it! So skip to the last line and [...]
Here for the blog, all the finalists of Tribu en el Volcán 2011. Without much more introduction, listen, watch, enjoy and share them.
