FREEDOM by: Jackie Bird
Editor’s Note: The passing of Jackie Bird last week had an enormous impact in our industry. As a tribute to the well-known advertising personality, HispanicAd.com invites you to read a piece she wrote in April 11, 2019. I found among her posts from RedBean Society at the time. It captures and conveys Jackie’s spirit, her ability to create, to re-invent herself, her love for advertising and marketing, and her contagious zest for life. In no small part, it also shows her daringness to take risks. I don’t think there is a better way to remember our dear Jackie Bird! —Gene Bryan, Publisher
