Escritores de publicidad bilingües: ¿where the heck están metidos?

La pregunta es seria, y la situación grave.

MMB tiene mucho trabajo. Y nos faltan un par de manos. Manos conectadas a un buen cerebro con sabor latino — one that’s fluent and fluid en español e inglés. Uno que piensa estratégicamente y que conoce la cultura latina. Who we are. How we live. What makes you and your compadres tick.

Tú puedes generar ideas originales for television and radio commercials. Puedes analizar un guión en inglés and decide whether or not it will convince Tío Pepe to buy a Meatball Sub – because al fin y al cabo, you know that Tío Juan from Houston, Texas, has different motivations than Uncle Bob from Milford,Connecticut. Tienes un poco de experiencia under your belt pero, como siempre, quieres más. You want more TV. You want more radio. You want more digital. You want to work solely in Spanish because ahí es donde tú ves gran oportunidades. And you want to work with a smart, fun, energetic group of people in Boston’s South End.
