Detailed achievement with Seat as a reference of dedication and background level:

The Seat account was won by Bates Germany in 1998. After a couple of months the Barcelona office did begin, only as an antenna of Frankfurt. With dedication, dynamism, teamwork and good relationship with the client our team did grow gradually to reach almost complete autonomy after 2 years as a whole little agency of 25 persons (10 in the creative team) leading 72 countries. My goal while building my team was to keep a cohesive team spirit and a multinational culture.
We won the 4 sub-brand accounts.
We did build a whole new philosophy of the brand. Later, the positioning of Seat in the Volkswagen-Audi group was announced, matching totally the orientation we took.
In four years we passed from the boring advertising we were allowed to do, to pretty advanced concepts. Always thinking out of the box and with an identifiable personality. We finally broke some barriers and settled the bases for a more creative advertising.
Finally I renewed the ATL layout with one big idea: concept is king but with a strong brand personality.
