Our clients’ brands are competing for the moment and competing for relevance in a time when attention is a precious commodity. Hence, we have made it a strategic imperative to be an innovator in this space and to have the best people in the industry, setting models and standards in the use of social media targeting Latinos,” stated President, CEO and Chief Creative Officer Alex Lopez Negrete.
