I am a punk. Yes, I’m a punk in the field of advertising. I’m the kind of punk who listens to jazz, ska, obviously punk rock, Latin music, and loves to read whatever falls into my hands. I know it’s strange to work on this side of capitalism, but it’s a dirty job, and someone has to do it… and I believe I’m one of the best to handle it.

Now, I’m starting in the world of comedy.

Since 1979

As one of the last sons of Generation X, life led me to ride the wave of changes:

In the 80s, the term ‘globalization’ entered the world lexicon—a decade where American culture clashed with our own.

By the mid-90s, while the world was immersed in the ‘grunge’ era, I embraced a punk lifestyle. The .com explosion reshaped the world in the late ’90s, coinciding with my first ownership of a computer.

Entering the new century, my life became increasingly digital, and advertising caught my attention while I made a living playing the trumpet.

In 2009, I surprised many by leaving traditional advertising to venture into the then-nascent field of Social Media. ‘There’s no future in that,’ they said.

Today, a world without internet connectivity is unimaginable. I strive to create, generate ideas, and contribute to problem-solving with a strategically creative perspective.

"You're an art director since the moment you wake up and start thinking about what you're going to wear."

"We need advertising to drive every industry in the world. People need to know what they need."

"People must not see the strategy behind advertising. That's the reason why creativity exists: to entertain while we're selling."

Campaigns & ideas

I’ve had the privilege of working on various projects alongside a talented group of individuals in the advertising industry. I’ve collaborated with seasoned professionals who brought a wealth of experience and also with those who entrusted me with their early professional years when I served as their Creative Director.

To all of them, thank you! We shared plenty of laughter along the way!
