Cross-cultural agency the community has hired Daniel Pérez Pallares as executive creative director. Based in Miami, Pérez Pallares will report directly to Joaquin Molla, co-founder and chief creative officer at the community.
Prior to joining the community, Pérez Pallares was the chief creative officer at Leo Burnett Mexico. His successful tenure there included creating Corona’s lauded “Desfronterizate” campaign, which included a spot that, in light of the current socio-political rhetoric, inspired Mexicans to break the “walls” in front of them.
Pérez Pallares has also served as chief creative officer at Maria Sao Paulo, executive creative director at Grey Sao Paulo, chief creative officer at Grey Maruri, and general creative director at Mayo FCB.
Over the years, his work has been recognized by the Cannes Festival of Creativity, the Clios, D&AD, One Show, El Sol and assorted major awards shows in Latin America.
“We look for like-minded people to join our agency and Daniel has the perfect blend of process and improvisation to thrive in our culture,” said Molla.
“Our society is experiencing a moment of transformation and only the most progressive advertising agencies are looking to reflect this change,” said Pérez Pallares. “I am looking forward to being part of the community’s commitment to building great creative work that reflects the makeup of today’s culturally fluid consumers.”
Headquartered in Miami with offices in Buenos Aires, New York and London, the community/la comunidad is owned by Publicis Groupe. It has created work for brands including Verizon, BMW, Volkswagen, Google, Sauza and Hornitos Tequilas, Apple, Converse, Corona Extra, Modelo Especial and ESPN.
FBI Releases Surveillance Images Of Masked Person On Nancy Guthrie’s Porch
A masked person with a handgun holster was caught on camera outside Nancy Guthrie's front door the night she disappeared, images released Tuesday by the FBI show, offering the first major break in a case that has gripped the nation for more than a week. The person wearing a backpack and a ski mask can be seen in one of the videos tilting their head down and away from a doorbell camera while nearing an archway at the home of the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie. The footage shows the person holding a flashlight in their mouth and trying to cover the camera with a gloved hand and part of a plant ripped from Nancy Guthrie's yard. The videos — less than a combined minute in length — gave investigators and the public their first glimpse of who was outside Nancy Guthrie's home just outside Tucson, but the images did not show what happened to her or help determine whether the 84-year-old is still alive. FBI Director Kash Patel said the "armed individual" appeared to "have tampered with the camera." It was not entirely clear whether there was a gun in the holster. The videos were pulled from data on "back-end systems" after investigators spent days trying to find lost, corrupted or inaccessible images, Patel said. "This will get the phone ringing for lots of potential leads," said former FBI agent Katherine Schweit. "Even when you have a person who appears to be completely covered, they're really not. You can see their girth, the shape of their face, potentially their eyes or mouth. You can see a gait that people around that person may recognize immediately." Investigators have said for more than a week that they believe Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will. She was last seen at home Jan. 31 and reported missing the next day. DNA... Read More
