A Space that Speaks Latin Identity
The message “Hola, ¡llegué! / Salut, je suis là!” printed boldly on the façade perfectly captured the brand’s vibrant, confident personality. This wasn’t just a booth—it was a cultural declaration. Inside, guests found a media studio, lounge areas, and interview spaces, all designed to reflect the warmth, creativity, and bold innovation of Latin American advertising.

At the center of the activation was the Mercado Ads Studio, broadcasting a live video podcast throughout the week. The studio hosted international leaders in marketing, media, and tech—while offering a fresh Latin American point of view that stood out amid the global noise. One highlight was a live interview and meet & greet with @francolapinto, which drew a diverse audience and sparked wide online engagement.
