Creating extension of the brand for Garcia Media Latinoamerica

Our Latin American unit, Garcia Media Latinamerica, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has added some icons to its brand imagery.  Take a look and read about these changes.

Garcia Media Latinoamerica, under the leadership of Rodrigo Fino, with senior art director Paula Ripoll, has been a part of Garcia Media Global for 25 years. To celebrate the anniversary, an extension of the brand concept has been created.

The website, http://www.garcia-media.com.ar has been redesigned and visitors can expect to see new topics discussed in the blog, authored by Rodrigo Fino.

In Rodrigo's own words:

“While this is not a total rebranding, it is a logical evolution of the brand symbols towards a sort of simplification.  We now have platforms that did not exist when we first created Garcia Media Latinoamerica, we must provide visual solutions for these new additional digital platforms.  Having a digital identity is important and I think that is what we are gaining with these new icons.

“Part of that simplification process has been to use GM, for Garcia Media, which is, by the way, the way many of our clients refer to our firm. Who knows? Maybe in the future we will simply be GM.”
