2025 has been a year of contrasts—intense, emotional, transformative. It began with a heartfelt farewell and ends with my soul wide open after the magical, peaceful family moments we usually share in Escondida.

The unexpected sponge meteorite is about to disappear to the dinos on the wall painted by washable Protecto. And perhaps, also about to surprise with new accolades for Tribu DDB. Simple and elegant, idea and execution perfectly aligned with the benefit of [...]
