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 […]
And energy! We went to introduce them to influence, contagion, the shoal effect, the six degrees and social creativity, and they rewarded us with joy, passion, dancing and a connection for life. I am impressed by the energy and focus of the [...]

Last year we had 61 entries in Cannes from 9 different agencies. In 2012, will we reach 100? The deadline has been extended and there is still some time left to enter the top creative competition on the planet. In Costa Rica [...]
Eiza has released her new solo with a tremendous video that I am fascinated to share with you, I love it! and I have no doubt that you too will be hooked by her music, her talent and her energy. When we [...]
