Progress Through Creativity

This year’s Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, celebrating the best “in the business of creativity,” begins today and runs virtually all week. The launch films for the festival, variations of the same script narrated by various creatives, were an additional shot of creative caffeine to get me going this week.

Antonio Ortiz

Antonio Ortiz has always been an autodidact with an eclectic array of interests. Fascinated with technology, advertising and culture he has forged a career that combines them all. In 1991 Antonio developed one of the very first websites to market the arts. It was text based, only available to computer scientists, and increased attendance to the Rutgers Arts Center where he had truly begun his professional career. Since then Antonio has been an early adopter and innovator merging technology and marketing with his passion for art, culture and entertainment.
