I start typing with an overwhelming feeling of defeat. Not because the trip at the end of August to which I am going to refer went badly, but because I think it is almost impossible to translate into text what I experienced. No adjective is sufficient to describe what it really means to experience “Burning […]
After several years of Cannes, Ojos, Fiaps, Clios and so much more in the world of advertising awards, SXSW Interactive has turned out to be a surprise of unimaginable proportions. More than 30,000 people attend Austin, and among them in 2011: Paula [...]
Some time ago I read that the key to life is happiness, and that the key to happiness is simplicity, or something similar. Although incomplete and questionable, the phrase points to a refreshing, clear and powerful word: simple. For this reason, the [...]
With the SXSW Interactive festival just a few days away, I’m packing my bags for a new and intense experience. Check out what we’re going for: five days of compelling presentations from the brightest minds in emerging technology, scores of exciting networking [...]

With the water cycle, presented in this beautiful animation, I connected with my years in advertising and that of almost all of us advertisers. It’s a long journey and like all, with obstacles and challenges at every step. One day we win [...]
