La agencia multicultural anunció la conquista de una nueva cuenta de AB Inveb, cliente con el que trabajan desde hace años con otras marcas como la popular Bud Light. “Budweiser es una marca muy importante en la historia del mercado hispano y es un honor volver a introducir la cerveza a una generación de latinos que desconoce su historia y gran tradición”, comentó Sergio Alcocer, presidente y cco de Latinworks.
Richards/Lerma and Digiworks bring the Social Media passion from Brazil to The Social Cup.
It’s no secret that the entire world is watching every play, every blown call by the referees and every goal happening in Brazil. The world is also taking to Twitter to let their voices be heard.
In a joint effort, Richards/Lerma and digital agency Digiworks introduce The Social Cup; a dynamic dashboard where users can see which country garnered the most mentions, the ultimate Dream Team, how many “friendly” messages the referees have received and more.
The project started several weeks ago as an idea to predict which country would win the World Cup based on Twitter activity and mentions.
Richards/Lerma Principal and Creative Director, Aldo Quevedo stated, “Our digitally savvy team built this dashboard as a way to measure and capture the passion around the globe in an easily-digestible and visually appealing format. We have received great comments from clients and other soccer fans around the world, we are very excited to have partnered with Digiworks in this project.”

Last Cannes Blog Post
As I settle back in to my daily schedule (and actually get some sleep and see some vegetables on my plate occasionally) it’s time to reflect back on the week that was Cannes 2014.
When you sift through the seminars filled with vague mentions of “storytelling” and “disruption,” there were some seriously interesting seminars and speakers making some seriously interesting statements:
“Good things don’t need extra colors or additives.”
-Contrapunto BBDO Creative Director Felix Del Valle
“The bridge between a dream and reality is work.”
-Jared Leto
"In the age of content, think like a marketer. Behave like an entertainer. Move like a
Tech Startup." -PJ Pereira
“Empower the greatest content creators or fuck you.”
-Kanye West
And my favorite,
“Just because you sit on a bean bag doesn’t make you creative.”
-Sir John Hegarty
As for the work, here are a few of my favorite pieces and campaigns that won big:
“Mistakes” by Clemenger BBDO for the New Zealand Transportation Agency
“Bentley Burial” by Leo Burnett for the Brazilian Association of Organ Transplants
“You Are My Son” by Lowe and Partners for the Colombian Ministry of Defense
“Bald Cartoons” by Ogilvy Brazil for GRAACC
It was a great experience, and I don’t think I’ll ever meet as many people standing in line at the bar or bathroom as I did there. A truly great reminder of just how international this business is, and the range of perspectives it takes to create fresh, outstanding ideas that make up festivals like this year after year.
So grateful for the opportunity, and I’m already chomping at the bit to get the brief
and have a shot at going again next year.
Thanks for reading.
Not So Young Creatives Review of Cannes 2014: Au Revoir Cannes!
Au revoir Cannes 2014!
First of all, we would like to start this post thanking the Circulo and all the sponsors involved that supported the Not so Young & the Young Creatives contests the Circulo put together year after year. Truly, we appreciate all their efforts on putting these together.
Through out the festival, we were thinking about the essence of what we were seeing this year, was there a trend in the work? Something new and revolutionary? As the days went by, and as we kept on looking as much work, ideas and conferences as we could, it hit us that the ideas that really moved us were those were something truly "happened"... Work that connected with us because it had some positive consequences.
From the first speaker we saw, Nikesh Arona-Chief Business Officer for Google, with his conference GOOGLE: A HEALTHY DISREGARD FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE, until the last one from Bono and Jonathan Ive, talking about the success and challenges of (RED), the biggest message across the festival was that together: ideas, technology and people now more than ever can make a big difference and affect change, and that these are really exciting times.
As Sir John Hegarty and David Droga said, in what was probably the best conference of all, you need to give something back to the people for their time. Entertainment, hope, emotions... you name it. They need to receive something in exchange if not your brand and campaign will get lost in the sea of mediocrity. And we think that nobody said it better that David Droga with this quote: "An idea is only great when something happens with it". This notion of the possibilities that lie ahead our industry is the most exciting thing that we keep from the festival.
Attending Cannes for us, being really "not so young" creatives at all, was a renovation and refreshment in our passion for this profession and we want to thank the Circulo and sponsors for that.
Below we have put together some links of the work that moved us somehow.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Best.
