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.
