I am Iván, an avid technophile with a somewhat unhealthy obsession for fat birds –especially penguins. Penguins represent nature’s rebels. They are creative, confident, witty, clever, original, charming, artistic, non-confirming, faithful and driven; the preceding are characteristics, which I possesses.

As a self-dubbed media aficionado I believe that fusing todays technology with time-proven advertising ideals and methods allows a message to be delivered with both quality and effectiveness.

Welcome to the nesting ground.
