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 […]
Write a poem. A novel. A short story. Write a song. A blog entry. An original idea. An equation. Writing a tweet. A new element. Writing is a curiosity. I have been days with my fingertips away from the keyboard. My head, [...]
Too often I hear of a crisis of leadership. However, I have never heard anyone talk about a crisis of passivity. Too many people are contemplatively waiting for a solution to their problems by that dishonest means found in the minds and [...]
The future will be a consequence of the decisions we make today. It is not a matter of luck, nor do I believe it is a matter of destiny, the “I hit the jackpot”, I hit the lottery or I was born [...]

Last night we closed our year of festivals with 3 Effies, one gold and two silver, all by Tribu DDB for our client Grupo Monge. Here’s how they look with some of the other awards won this year. The Iberoamerican Eye Gold, [...]
On Tribu DDB’s website today, we found a photo worth remembering. There is not much to add to the expressions that perfectly reflect what happens in an organization that is making its mark. We are missing a lot of people in the [...]
Emma Wilkie, General Manager of the Gunn Report kicked off at 9:00 AM on the third day at the Ojo. A few hours away from the Effie in Costa Rica, it is interesting to start with a presentation that sustains the undeniable: [...]
