LatinWorks and GSD&M create Sibling

The executive leadership team from GSD&M and the founders of multicultural ad agency LatinWorks announced  the launch of Sibling, an integrated creative and media agency with a multicultural DNA.

The agency will implement a new strategic model for reaching the evolving American mainstream, an audience that defies traditional convention and is strongly influenced by its multicultural heritage. Sibling’s unique approach will help drive growth for progressive client brands who each have their own unique and evolving audience within the total market itself.  

The agency will operate out of Austin with creative development led by Executive Creative Director Rafael Serrano, who brings close to 20 years’ general market and multicultural experience including award-winning stops at LatinWorks and Wieden+Kennedy. Alejandro Ruelas, cofounder of LatinWorks, and GSD&M CEO Duff Stewart will also provide leadership support and guidance.

“The evolution of the marketplace demands a new marketing approach,” said Ruelas. “American culture has been changing in dramatic fashion, becoming much more global and reflecting the influence of younger, more multicultural people. Sibling will help brands to effectively navigate this new environment.”

“Sibling is inspired by GSD&M’s purpose-based branding approach and leverages the expertise that built LatinWorks into the industry’s premier multicultural agency,” said Stewart. “Both agencies are headquartered in Austin and have worked side by side informally for years across many clients. It was the right time to come together to create a solution that responds to the seismic changes in the consumer landscape that are being driven by the multicultural population in the U.S.”
