Ex-LatinWorks President Sergio Alcocer Opens Agency Called Rest of the World

A veteran of Hispanic marketing, Sergio Alcocer, launches a new agency that he dubs, "an agency founded in and for the Trump era..” where he looks to “..bring Latin-inspired creative to the mainstream.” A move that sounds like someone interested in influencing and/or building true total market campaigns that are rooted in deep consumer insights that are relevant for today’s multicultural society.
