from the dome, AMAPRO affirmed that the changes are part of the Association’s commitment to its memberswho are responsible for the activations we see of the brands, to publicize sales strategies, new products or dynamics.
The work of the Association will now be under the supervision of Franco ScipioniManaging Partner Grupo Map, with more than 15 years of experience in Point of Sale Execution.
Grupo Map has promotion channels specialized in shopper, communication, experiences, digital and social actions.

Vincent Tameswho comes from Enfoque Creativo will repeat his position as VP of Education.
The work map for the next AMAPRO administration will be focused on attracting and retaining talent in the sector, since it has been measured that at the end of 2021 there will be a post-pandemic economic reactivation, where there are projects that cannot be completed due to a lack of human resources and a high turnover in the segment.
A second objective will be to improve the loop in which the agencies find themselves, where they repeat bad practices from the past, such as having to wait long periods for the payment of services, which becomes a time bomb for the agencies, considering the inflation that we are experiencing. .
“The main axis of my management will be to continue working to maintain AMAPRO as a pillar of the Promotional Marketing industry in Mexico and LATAM. In addition, we will seek to unite Central American agencies to expand the possibilities of collaboration and operation of their partners in those countries”, explained the new president of the Association.
