Today we accepted 1st Place nationally for Public Service on behalf of our client, American Advertising Federation - Coastal Bend. We serve passionately as their Executive Directors, so it is an honor to give our small but mighty club the national spotlight it deserves. Thanks to all our AAF-CB members who bring meaningful community impact through this organization.🥇☺️

When our worlds collide… the car business and advertising. Today, we hosted a meeting on the FTC’s advertising regulations for the Valley Auto Dealers Association.

Congrats to this year’s inductees into the National Society of Leadership & Success at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. We had the privilege of being the keynote speakers on Sunday, giving our best tips on leadership, service, and personal growth to these promising young leaders.

The car biz is a competitive one! We welcome the challenge to creatively display logos and activities so everyone gets their spotlight. Yesterday’s Clay Shoot for the Valley Auto Dealers Association was warm and dusty but filled with camaraderie, prizes, and friendly competition to raise money for scholarships.

Now we’re cooking! We had a fun partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities South Texas to help them host their annual fundraiser “Men Who Cook” where teams compete to raise money and serve the most delicious crowd-pleasing dish! Thanks to Concrete Street Amphitheater for welcoming us and Posh & Posy for the adorable decor.❤️💛🖤🍴

Any of the pretty photos are thanks to Debbie Noble ☺️📸.

We’re proud to support the Annual Philanthropy Celebration as their marketing partner. AFP Coastal Bend always does a beautiful job recognizing local individuals and organizations who drive the community with their generosity. Quite an inspiring occasion!

Clap if you enjoy a good commercial! 👏 Today was a great event hosted by American Advertising Federation - Coastal Bend discussing behind-the-scenes of commercials. It was fun hearing different perspectives on production in advertising from other local professionals. I want to give a special shoutout to La Palmera and their “At the Center of It All” campaign! 🛍️❤️ And snaps 🫰to MDR and Andres Hernandez on their inspiring presentations!

Great meeting today for the El Paso New Car Dealers Association on auto theft prevention with the El Paso Police Department! 🚘🚨⛰️
