Interaktiva launches.

Urbana Creative Group announced the founding of Interaktiva in Miami. The company is led by President and CEO Francisco Manrique, who also serves as Urbana’s Principal and Chief Creative Officer. David Uribe was named Vice President, Creative Director and will be heading Interaktiva’s creative department.

“Urbana saw a tremendous increase in demand for digital marketing services from its U.S. customers and international companies wanting to establish or expand their businesses in the fast-growing Latin American market,” said Manrique. “We decided to create a dedicated digital marketing agency, with the goal to be a one-stop-shop for our customers and a partner for firms and agencies that don’t have online capabilities.

“Interaktiva’s team is creative, strategic and incredibly talented. David is a key asset to our company — he brings extensive experience in the digital marketing industry, having worked with top international brands and creating award-winning campaigns. Under his leadership, one of our client’s websites has already been nominated for the prestigious Awwwards and CSS Design Award, which recognize the best developers, designers and web agencies in the world. We look forward to bring cost-effective, attention-grabbing, tailored solutions to our customers.”
