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 […]
Pancho Terán, General Creative Director of TRIBU / Nazca Saatchi Saatchi, (very serious in this photo!) is a member of the jury for the New York Festival, and for this reason, we have seen him focused on his mission, which at the [...]
When Paula Guevara and Carlos Jiménez receive the brief for the Film competition in Cannes, next June 22 at 8 a.m., they will be competing against 19 pairs from around the world for a Golden Lion in the Young Creatives Film Competition. [...]
My heart is trusting because I know you and in the midst of the storm I am never alone and I can see your silhouette in the midst of the fog your grace is sufficient in me, if the world trembles every [...]

Today I walked into a meeting at Comunicación Corporativa / Ketchum and found 5 Volcanes at the reception desk. That’s right, not one, not two, not three but five awards collected at last Saturday’s Volcano Festival. This is the case that even [...]
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 [...]
