d expósito & Partners celebrates its 20th Anniversary with the slogan “Let’s dex!”

With a balanced mix of joy, pride and reflection, d expósito & Partners is celebrating its 20th Anniversary.  “It may sound like a big deal but what really counts is the human journey, and the greatest celebration comes from brands breaking barriers and transcending the ordinary,” says the co-founder of the agency also known as dex, Daisy Expósito-Ulla, Chairman/CEO.
