Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Andres Talavera. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Andres, thanks for joining us today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?

Yes.

I think I would say that in order to be successful, there is a combination of elements that makes you closer to get to your goals.

A clear vision of what you want to achieve, having a drive to always keep learning and at the same time doing the things the way you envision it is key in order to achieve your goals.

There is also the willing to know other people in the industry and knowing how to navigate personalities and egos to your advantage.

There is a more profound question around what’s success to you and how the word success has been romanticized on social media today, I think I have a different version of what most people think about it.

Andres, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a seasoned Brand Strategist, navigating the dynamic world of PR at the globally renowned firm, Edelman. But my journey to this pinnacle has been a tapestry woven with diverse experiences and profound insights.

Born and raised in the vibrant tapestry of Venezuela, my curiosity led me to pursue Hospitality Management in the heart of Mexico. Immersed in the study of human connection and happiness, I embarked on a transformative journey. Securing a prestigious scholarship and working visa, I found myself amidst the picturesque landscapes of Switzerland, honing my craft at Glion, the epitome of hospitality education.

Yet, amidst the opulent allure of luxury hotels, I discovered a deeper calling. It was a revelation that catapulted me across continents, from the vibrant pulse of Miami to the bustling streets of New York City, and finally, to the creative hub of Los Angeles.

Each city became a chapter in my odyssey, a canvas upon which I painted my understanding of human emotions and cultural nuances. It was this kaleidoscope of experiences that propelled me into the realm of brand strategy.

As a Strategist, I am not merely a consultant; I am a conduit between brands and their audiences, a translator of emotions and aspirations. Brands seek me out not just for my expertise in consumer psychographics, but for my ability to forge genuine connections rooted in shared values and beliefs.

In a world inundated with sales pitches, I strive to evoke emotions, to spark conversations, and to forge lasting bonds. It’s a journey that continually resonates with the essence of hospitality, reminding me of my humble beginnings and the pursuit of human connection that ignited my path.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

Yes I think I just shared my resilience in my previous paragraph

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

The idea that brands have something to stand for and connect on a human level with audiences is part of my mission.
