Juan Francisco Bernal
Co Owner in Onegona
Ciudad de Panama, PanamaI was born among craftsmen's family artists that left my blood embedded of art. This school gave me the basics to enter to the advertising career for more than 22 years. My beginning was at the branch of RPM Spain in Colombia going through the Y&R Bogotá as a Art Director. From here i came to the DRAFFCB as a Graphic Director. Then i was rehired for the Y&R network for a big project also as a Creative Art Director at Cerebro Y&R Panamá , emphasizing the creativity of our team in order to compete and being awarded in festivals. We are currently for 8 consecutive years the most awarded agency in the country, one of the five most important in the area and for Y&R, we're in the list of the top 15 head offices worldwide.
In spirit of sharing my experience I set up the New Talent Awards at the Festival Caribe, delivered lectures) in workshops at universities and led) an educational project through soccer. I was jury in New York Festivals 2010 Print category; Wave Festivals 2010 in Brazil Promotional category and NOVA 2006 in COlombia TV category. Through my career i have been awarded in Cannes, New York Festivals, Best of the Year Y&R, in Regional Competions at FIAP, Ojo de Iberomérica and Festival Caribe (2009 - 2012 total winner), Jade Awards and a creative local festival NOVA in Colombia.
