In just one year, their work contributed to DAVID Buenos Aires becoming one of the most prestigious agencies in the world, through multi awarded winning campaigns such as the “All In Promo”, for Noblex, among others.

In 2019, thanks to the arrival of Pancho Cassis (partner and Global CCO of DAVID) to the company, both were promoted to ECDs, in a clear plan to bet on the home talents to strengthen the growth of the agency. Since then, Nico & Nacho have consolidated a continuous growth to the office in terms of creativity, winning Lions in each Cannes Lions Edition.

Additionally, in 2020, the office was recognized by WARC as the most effective agency in Latin America, supporting the capability to positively transform the business results for the brands they lead.

In 2022, DAVID Buenos Aires was the best Argentinian agency in LIA and also won 7 Effie Awards in different markets working for Coca-Cola, falabella.com, HSBC, among others. Recently, the office was also recognized as the best Argentinian Agency by the Clio Awards.

This powerful duo won countless awards in Cannes Lions, Clio, One Show, D&AD, Effie, among others. They were also responsible for Argentinian creativity to be featured in the most iconic commercial break: the Super Bowl. 

Throughout their career at DAVID, they have worked for The Coca-Cola Company, ABInbev, HSBC, Burger King, The Walt Disney Company, Mondelez, Macma, Netflix, Volkswagen México, Noblex, etc.

Emanuel Abeijón, Regional Managing Director, said:

" I have had the privilege of seeing the evolution of Nico and Nacho’s career for the last 6 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".

 

Pancho 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 3 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."
