SAN ANTONIO – Creative Civilization, known for its high-profile work for general market and Hispanic market leadership brands like ING Financial Services and American Cancer Society, announced the addition of two top industry leaders to the San Antonio-based advertising agency as it celebrates its 10-year anniversary.

Cat Lopez and J. Moncada, who collectively have led strategic and creative efforts for national brands such as Procter and Gamble, Coca-Cola, American Airlines, Burger King and Anheuser-Busch, are rejoining Al Aguilar, Chairman/CEO of Creative Civilization, who they worked with at the former Bromley, Aguilar & Associates.

“The addition of Cat Lopez as creative director and J. Moncada as chief strategy and marketing officer rounds out a power team that is ready to catapult its leadership position as an agency of the future,” says Aguilar.

The talent reunion of Aguilar, Lopez and Moncada is also anchored with agency principal and President Gisela Girard, Executive Vice President Sergio Salinas, Vice President of Media Solutions, Melissa Black, and its thirty-person staff.

“Ten years ago, Creative Civilization set forth with an ambitious vision of taking its Hispanic agency background and crossing over into the general market space,” says Moncada. “A decade later, what differentiates us in today’s cluttered environment is our proven leadership as a new breed of agency uniquely qualified in total market solutions.“

“I’m proud to become a part of this visionary team whose time has arrived,” says Lopez. “It is exhilarating to create advertising that captures the imagination of the total market in producing results for our diverse client roster.”

“Today, we reflect on the accomplishments of our first ten years, but more importantly we are poised for an even bigger and better future,” says Aguilar, in describing the celebratory mood at Creative Civilization.

Creative Civilization, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, offers a full range of marketing, advertising and public relations services. Founded in 1999 by advertising leaders Al Aguilar and Gisela Girard, the agency’s mantra, Inspiration Is All Around Us, fuels creative solutions across all agency disciplines.
