Somos
Una agencia de comunicación internacional creada con el objetivo de hacer crecer las marcas a través del branding cultural.
Nuestro enfoque en relación a los medios de comunicación está basado en una simple realidad: el comportamiento hacia la evasión publicitaria seguirá creciendo con la aparición de nuevas plataformas y tecnologías. Con el tiempo, esto producirá un deterioro continuado de la eficacia de la inversión en medios.
Hemos desarrollado nuestra estructura específicamente para enfrontar esta situación y asegurarnos que nuestras marcas mantengan su relevancia y compromiso a través de su cultura.
Lo que no ha cambiado en nuestro nuevo enfoque es nuestra promesa de seguir obteniendo resultados de negocio innovadores, mediante el análisis de datos, hábitos de consumo y comportamiento del consumidor. Seguimos comprometidos en administrar la inversión para generar el máximo rendimiento y ahorro con absoluta transparencia.
- POR QUÉ?
- EMOCIÓN
- VALOR
- LEALTAD
Estamos orgullosos de que las siguientes marcas, líderes en crear culturas, sean nuestros socios a nivel mundial.

Amy Armstrong
Global CEO
Amy was appointed Global CEO in March 2021 and she believes that without a doubt, talent is what enables a culture, and ultimately a company, to thrive. This is no new-found belief, instead it's one that has shaped her career since she started with IPG 20 years ago. By continuously actioning on this belief, she's built teams & nurtured an environment that has resulted in "turnarounds” that some would have deemed near-impossible. Amy strives to create a company that matters & makes a difference in the lives of employees, in clients' business, and in the industry as a whole. Amy has held roles at various IPG agencies for over 20 years, most recently as US CEO for Initiative. Since joining Initiative in 2016, Amy transformed the company's US operations, including driving business results for her clients and substantial revenue growth for the agency. During her tenure, the US received accolades including being named US Comeback Agency of the Year by Ad Age, US Media Agency of the Year by Adweek, and named a Best Place to Work by Ad Age. The standard that she represents made her a natural selection for 2018's Awarding Jury at Cannes for Media. A client roster that spans multiple industry sectors from Entertainment, Technology, Wireless, Healthcare and CPG/FMCG is testament to her acumen for growth and transformation. She proudly makes public her commitment and actions to increase diversity & inclusion within Initiative globally, recognizing that there is still a lot of work to be done in this area. Leading by example and taking nothing for granted, Amy champions the importance of wellness + making time to be with your community, family and passions. Unsurprisingly, this would be her twin sons.
