Speaking the Language of Connection

Lost in Translation: Speaking the Language of Connection

By Sonia Gonzalez

Let’s be honest: just translating your English ads into Spanish isn’t going to cut it with Spanish-speaking consumers. Seamos sinceros: no basta con traducir palabra por palabra. Marketing to a Spanish-speaking audience is more than just swapping words – it’s learning to connect authentically and speak to the culture, values, and lived experiences of the people you want to reach. As a Mexican who grew up immersed in our culture, who is now working in the world of advertising, I’ve seen

By Crystal Smith

From Dot Coms to Full Comms: TXC Celebrates 40 Years

By Texas Creative

Oh hey! Thanks for coming to my big bash. Cake is in the break room. Help yourself to the coffee pods. For the noobs, let me introduce myself – I’m Texas Creative, or TXC to the ones who know me best. This year is a big one, and I’m pumped to announce a huge milestone – I’m turning 40. If you’ve got an Over-the-Hill joke, save it. As anyone who’s hit the big 4-0 knows, 40 isn’t when you start winding down – it’s when you’re just getting started. I know exactly who I am toda
