“Once again Alma DDB is proud to lead this unconventional concept for a client who has imagined and enthusiastically supported the potential of this idea and the impact it will have on our consumers and culture in positioning the brand as meaningful and visionary. For the Agency, this initiative is a coherent demonstration of influence at work,” said Luis Miguel Messianu, President and C.C.O. of Alma DDB.
