Oscar Peña.
Co-Founder Digital & Creative.
I'm originally from the great Mexico City. I lived in Mexico until I was about 19 years old and then moved to Chicago, Illinois and lived there for about 8 years. Life and fate brought me to San Antonio where I met my lovely wife, Fernanda, at an ad agency. We then founded Chamoy Creative, alongside 2 other partners.
Even though I have 12+ years of experience in the Digital Advertising world, it never seizes to fascinate me how fast this space transforms itself every single day. We are always connected. We now learn, interact, purchase and live online. I am a strong believer in the purchase journey approach and how we need to make sure a brand message reaches the right person, with the right message at the right time, every time. When it comes to the digital space, you always have to be a step ahead of the game and make sure you know what is coming next and how the brands you work with can benefit from it.
"We need to make sure a brand message reaches the right person, with the right message at the right time, every time."
As far as my personal life and things I like to do: I love to travel and really enjoy photography. I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited some incredible places and hope to continue to do so. Traveling helps me open up my mind to new experiences that then yield creative and innovative ideas that I can put in action with my client’s digital campaigns. Lately, I’ve also been really into coffee, the stock market, and baby stuff. I recently became a Dad and it has been life-changing. I have a beautiful daughter named Emma and she brights up my world every day. She keeps me on my toes and inspires me to work harder and be a better person.
