\^ When he was a child, Hector
Orci listened to his father’s
collection of classical music
and discovered how people
could work together seamlessly
and create something greater
than the sum of its parts—not
stress, animosity or pain. That
approach to teamwork has
been central to Orci’s long-
time success at his namesake
agency, a leader in U.S Hispanic
marketing. The agency has been
producing forward-looking,
award-winning work for leading
brands like Honda, Dole, Acura,
Johnson & Johnson and more.
Beyond advertising, Orci and
his wife, Norma, were named
philanthropists of the year by
the New American Alliance for
their commitment to nurturing
and effecting change within the
Hispanic community.BRANDON ROCHON
MANAGING CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER, KASTNER
CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER & FOUNDER, SNKR INC.
\ Brandon Rochon has spent his whole career trying
to find interesting ways to not make advertising, but
to build brands that are some of the most loved in
culture. Currently at the creative helm of L.A.-based
Kastner, he’s made his way through Chicago, where
he was global creative director at Leo Burnett for
Samsung, Paris (global creative director of Coke Zero
at Ogilvy), and New York. An entrepreneurial sneaker
head, he co-founded SNKR Inc., a media company
focused solely on the $55 billion sneaker industry.\ When he was profiled in
Ebony several years back,
advertising pioneer Sheldon
Levy was referred to as real-life
Mad Man. That’s what happens
when you’ve had a successful
advertising career over three
decades. Levy was best known
for driving broadcast production
and content at Saatchi &
Saatchi, where the list of clients
included powerhouses like
Procter & Gamble, General
Mills and Novartis. Yet Levy
was also widely recognized for
helping develop and mentor the
next generation of advertising
creatives and his commitment
to changing the vocabulary on
diversity. Witness programs like
the New Creators Showcase at
Cannes (formerly New Directors
Showcase) which Saatchi
hosted, and his involvement in
the annual Martha’s Vineyard
Film Festival.2019 ADCOLOR AWARDS SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
