Throughout their career at DAVID, they have worked for brands including The Coca-Cola Company, ABInbev, HSBC, Burger King, The Walt Disney Company, Mondelez, Macma, Netflix, Volkswagen México and Noblex.
Emanuel Abeijón, DAVID’sregional managing director, said, “ I have had the privilege of seeing the evolution of Nico and Nacho’s career for the last six years and I feel very proud to work with them every day. Their human touch, self-improvement, ambition, talent and constant effort are pushing us and our operation further. I have no doubt that we still have a lot to do and they are the best allies to achieve everything we set out to”.
Cassis concluded: “When I arrived to DAVID I was convinced that their talent was key to take the agency to the next level; and I was right. In the last three years, the office has had an exponential growth in terms of business and reputation and even so, only a little bit of what they are capable of has been seen. Both are ambassadors of the Argentinian creativity and they add a tremendous value to all DAVID family around the world. I am happy for this deserved promotion.”
