Recognition

By the time I left Argentina, I didn't have to introduce myself.

Invited to teach at schools, universities and events with audiences of up to a thousand people. Invited onto the country's largest television channels, radio stations and newspapers.

i
20+
Sessions taught at universities, schools and industry events between 2015 and 2022 — Buenos Aires, La Plata, Santa Fe, Mar del Plata. Every one of them an invitation from the institution.
ii
4 networks
Every national television network of consequence in the country called at some point, several of them more than once: the public broadcaster, the largest private channel, a prime-time network format and a news channel — plus national news radio.
iii
1,000+
Largest single live audience: a talk filmed and streamed for a national foundation during the pandemic, with more than a thousand people watching in real time.
Teaching sessions at universities, schools and industry events across Argentina, 2015-2022
Universities, industry conferences and innovation summits, 2015–2022.
Institutions with their own faculty went outside for this subject.

Universities in La Plata, Palermo and Santa Fe. An innovation summit in Mar del Plata. Argentina Game Show. A technology education institute. A national foundation. Each one was an institution deciding that the digital subject it needed taught was not covered by the people already on its payroll — and deciding who to bring in instead.

That is the credential that matters here. Not that I can hold a room; anyone who teaches for fifteen years can hold a room. It is that the choosing kept happening, and kept landing on the same person.

Twenty invitations across seven years, from institutions under no obligation to issue a single one.
National television covering the meme teaching
National television, 2019. The on-screen title: Juan teaches how to make memes to attract more customers.
I was teaching insight. Memes were the fastest way to teach it.

Creative work lives or dies on whether the insight underneath it is true. That is the hardest thing to teach and the slowest thing to assess — a campaign takes months to find out. A meme takes minutes. It is an insight compressed to its smallest publishable unit, and if the insight is wrong it dies in public immediately, in front of the student who wrote it. The harshest feedback loop in creative work, and it costs nothing to run.

So I built the teaching around it. Then the method became the story. National television, news radio and the country's largest daily all ran it, and the coverage renamed the school: no longer a digital marketing school, but the internet school — the one where they teach memes.

An instructional design decision that generated its own national press. I have never had a cleaner demonstration that method is marketing.

Television appearances · compiled reel

Studio panels, interviews, campaign analysis, and a prime-time format where creatives were handed live briefs and had to solve them on air. Different channels, different years, different subjects. All in Spanish — the rooms and the formats read clearly enough without it.

TV Pública
National public broadcaster · three appearances
Invited into the studio as a specialist: twice to analyze public-interest advertising campaigns on air, taking them apart and explaining what made them work, and once on an entrepreneurship program to teach founders how to communicate.
Infobae
Argentina's most-read daily · three features
Called back across four years: on a viral explainer that taught monetary inflation using candy and coins on a table (2021), on why memes travel the way they do (2023), and on internet culture as a working profession (2019).
Canal 13
Largest private national channel
The week the meme teaching broke nationally, the country's biggest broadcaster ran the interview — and the regional dailies followed, in Córdoba, Río Negro and Mendoza. A teaching method becoming news is its own kind of demand signal.
CNN Radio
National news radio
A long-form interview on the same subject, under a headline I would happily use as a course description: memes are a communication code.
Telefe
National television · competitive format
A prime-time format where creative teams were handed a real brief from a small business and had to build the campaign live, on air. The entrepreneur my partner and I worked with won the round.
Revista Gente
National magazine · double-page feature · 2021
A double-page spread running under the headline the year education went digital — with Grow inside it as one of the schools that made it happen.
Para Ti
National magazine · 2021
Interviewed on learning technology and instructional practice — how personalization and digital tooling let you teach a subject more deeply, not just more cheaply. The closest thing I have to a public statement of method.
Shoutout Miami
United States · in English
A long-form profile on the creative practice and on building a school — the one piece of coverage in this list that an English-speaking reader can go through end to end.

Even the hobby turned out well.

I have been making video since 2004. In 2012 one of them went global — friends throwing stones with their wrong hand — three million views, picked up by BuzzFeed and fifty other sites, and Discovery UK bought the broadcast rights. Between 2020 and 2024 I built an audience explaining Argentine economics in plain language, and more than fifteen of those videos passed a million views. One of them explained inflation to my thirteen-year-old niece using candy and coins on a table. That is the one the national press picked up.

In 2025 I started again in the Netherlands, under my own name, about emigrating and about living here. One video, about collecting furniture off the street, reached ten million. Along the way I became an influencer without ever setting out to be one, and brands started paying for it — a campaign I wrote and produced for Western Union reached 4.5M views and became one of the most-watched posts on the brand's own Argentine feed.
