My favorite class at S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University was Advertising 208 (The Big Idea in Advertising). I still have the textbooks on our bookshelf (10 moves later). The curriculum was all about how challenger brands were catapulted by the Madison Mavericks – Ogilvy, Grey, Wells, Thompson, Doyle. My dream job was to work Ogilvy; I have interviewed there more than 12 times during my career... instead I became a journalist and the went to work Grey Group. Ogilvy was “my agency partner” when I was at American Express. Smart people. Remarkable work. Solid Moral Compass. This week, my dream came true. I am a Global Client Leader for WPP Ogilvy on Verizon. To dream makers Devika Bulchandani Philip Heimann Charlotte Smith Kristin McHugh Denis Budniewski Joyce King Thomas... your magic is real. To conspirators in MarCom Marissa Solis Cesar Conde Esperanza Teasdale Lisa Sepulveda Alison Bain Laura Molen Tonia O'Connor Gilbert Dávila Bob Liodice Cheryl Brody Franklin Sandra Lopez Joseph Bihlmier alejandro ceppi Jack Myers the journey is much better as a traveler than a tourist. To my broad partners HACE and MediaVillage.org, thank you for all you have done and will do for our mission.

Congratulation Ana… Your Imagery of a “traveler” versus “tourist” is empowering… A tourist’s journey typically includes limited belongings in nicely packed suitcases, an itinerary, and a return ticket… Travelers carry all they have, a plan to face the unknown and fulfill aspirations, and a compass that points to their North Star… Happy travels, and please send us postcards of your favorite achievements!!…
Love this so much for you. You are truly one of a kind. Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉🍾
