From accounts to strategy, analytics and leadership, they were pretty impressive across the board.”
“Avocados from Mexico is a recognizable and fun brand,” added Energy BBDO managing director Jeff Adkins. “We’re excited to partner with Kevin and the entire team to continue building the AFM brand and help even more people fall in love with this amazing and delicious fruit.”
