Time and how the creative process adjusts to new strategies that change day by day has been crucial in the triumph of Mexico’s campaigns at Cannes Lions.

“Today we use a phrase that shows the change in consumer behavior, which went from ‘running to shopping’ to ‘always shopping’. If you think for two seconds, we program ourselves to go make a purchase, today the purchase is continuous in the consumer since he gets into an Uber and is buying through Amazon, he has multiple windows open and it is in the understanding of the ‘Journey’ of the consumer, in which creativity has room to make a difference in the experience of brands”, he concludes forcefully.
