These offices plan to put aside their normal work hours to generate innovative proposals that will later be presented to a prestigious jury based in the city of Miami.

"We live in a world in real time and only a network such as DDB Latina, which understands this new reality, is able to integrate its teams so that in a period of 48 hours influential ideas are created," said Juan Carlos Ortiz, President and Creative Chairman of DDB Americas.
