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 […]
Casado in Brazil is called feijoada, and that was our first meal when we arrived in Copacabana for the Wave Festival. With an air of the Carlton in Cannes, the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro is the perfect setting for the [...]
At Tribu DDB Costa Rica we have decided not to receive new accounts, at least for the remainder of the first half of the year. However, we are already considering extending this measure to the third quarter of the year. The reason? [...]
The contest to choose the two creative duos that will go to Cannes has had a setback. In the first round to choose the finalists, the jury decided to declare it void and repeat the opportunity for all contestants. Here is the [...]

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 [...]
