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 […]
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 [...]
Already in March and almost 2.2 million views later I came across a wonderful summary of 2010 that I wanted to leave on my blog. Enjoy it first and then allow me to add a paragraph of commentary. Searches continue in 2011. [...]

This week Comunidad elected its new board of directors for the next two years. I wish them much success and the best results in these times that demand so much from us. For this reason, I celebrate the integration of talents that [...]
Advertising Age named him the most influential publicist of the twentieth century. Apple included him among the world personalities who inspired its “Think Different” campaign. The B in DDB stands for his last name. I write a few paragraphs about Bill Bernbach, [...]
