Pilar Domínguez
Creative and Strategy Director – Mandarina Brand Society
When I was little, my parents say that I would go to a new place and spend hours silently observing and listening to everything that was going on around me, taking an exact snapshot of the place, the people there, and what was happening. This capacity for critical observation, the product of an inner yearning to delve deeper into what I see, allows me to visualise the guiding principle of people; to discover what moves them, what defines them, the sense of authenticity that underpins each person, each project. When what I see is genuine, I fall in love, I devote myself to it, and I find myself arranging it so that it makes sense, expressing a narrative and visual discourse like someone who writes a story for others to understand and enjoy. Because today, more than ever, what is good, what is authentic, must be promoted, shared and made to fly so that it can go far.
Co-founder, Creative and Strategy Director at Mandarina Brand Society, I’m a specialist in brand creation and management. I have been dedicated to the strategic management and execution of branding projects related to Tourism and Hospitality for more than twenty years. During these two long decades of my professional career, I have collaborated to launch a long list of new companies, brands, and projects, having the opportunity to put into practice my observant and analytical nature. Through this, I have been able to provide an overall, focused and coherent vision based on an analysis of the consumer and the market, as well as in-depth knowledge of the most suitable design, marketing and communication tools. I believe in brands with a soul, which must switch their focus from being authentic to being committed to ethics amid this paradigm shift.
Born in San Sebastian (Basque Country) and now residing in Mallorca, with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country and a Master’s degree from the Open University of Catalonia. Entrepreneur, winner of the EWoman Mallorca 2019 award. A lover of wine, stews, long conversations and always wanting to learn, I can say that I make my living doing what I enjoy the most, and I feel like I have just won the lottery when my alarm goes off each morning.

Alex Goldberg
Creative Director
Ogilvy Cape Town
Alex is a Creative Director at Ogilvy Cape Town and runs Volkswagen South Africa. While his business card says one thing, Alex doesn’t believe any Creative should fall under one title. He writes, illustrates, sculpts, shoots, collaborates and does whatever it takes to bring an idea to life.

His career has taken him all over the world and he’s had the privilege of working with some incredibly talented people, on some of the world’s most iconic brands like Volkswagen, KFC, Unilever and Guinness.
Alex likes to make work with purpose, that pokes the bear, and makes the world a little less boring.
When he’s not wrestling with that ever-elusive next big idea, he’s instructing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, attempting to explain to his parents what a hashtag is, and occasionally writing in the third person.
