Ernest Bromley, Chairman/CEO, Bromley Communications LLC

The son of a Canadian father and a Puerto Rican mother, Ernest Bromley grew up in Mexico City. After moving to the U.S. as a young man, Ernest realized Hispanics living in the States spoke differently from those in Mexico. Some could speak only English. Some spoke only Spanish. Some spoke a hybrid mixture of both. This epiphany led young Ernest to write his thesis on acculturation while in college. Little did he know that his theories on segmentation would help launch the Hispanic revolution. Thirty years later, Bromley is one of the leading Hispanic ad agencies in the country and part of the Publicis network. We employ people from all over the Americas and have won nearly every creative award in the industry. Not bad for a self-professed “research geek.”
