Want a better way? Writing the blog post about attending a Fireside Chat organized by the HPRA (Hispanic PR Association) with Miguel Bañon Kelley, Head… Continue reading Commencing after Commencement
OK, I have an announcement to make. I didn’t need this, and you might not need it either. I didn’t know it existed, but somebody with my data knew about it, and even better, understood who I was, and that I might impulsively succumb to a beautiful image of a key holder with the… Continue reading I didn’t need it… and you might not need it either
All industries fall in love with their technical words. The use and abuse of initialism and technical concepts, although a common practice, might not be the best way to convey your message. You have spent so much time and money defining the need to conduct a marketing study, designing, conducting, and analyzing the numbers… we… Continue reading GIVE ME YOUR JARGON AND I’LL GIVE YOU MY A.D.D.
Who says that Social Media is only play and no learning. Lately, a couple of memes came to my attention and ignited the necessity to reclassify all my Social Media preconceptions.

The solution was to produce average content for the average viewer (...but what was average?). Now that content is… Continue reading GRASP ALL, LOSE ALL
-OK! We got the podcast concept, and are ready to start recording! -We got the guests! We got everything that we need! The conversation continued with excitement until someone asked: “What day of the week and at what time do we upload it?” and we all started theorizing based on our listening habits.… Continue reading THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
I have asked around and they answer is always the same. “NO, I hate It!” “That’s not music!” “I rather read a book!” “Why waste my time?” Friends, acquaintances and colleagues all seem to agree. Almost no one is willing to admit that they too, listen to Reggaeton or watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians…… Continue reading I HEREBY FIND YOU GUILTY OF PLEASURES
Do you like using your electronic cigarette indoor, and offshore oil and gas drilling? I know what you are thinking.

Double-barreled questions in marketing research produce results that do not offer clear solutions. You can… Continue reading THE DOUBLE-BARREL FALLACY
