These are the new leaders in American business.” According to Francisco Letelier, Managing Partner of Anita Santiago Advertising, a key to the agency’s success is “keeping the focus on providing smart strategic thinking for our Clients and acting as a partner in growing their business. We’re very honored our team is being recognized for this.”
