Opinions

"Simón works in favor of the idea and not for the production. His contributions as a director always make creative ideas richer. I don’t know how but if there's an idea that starts in A, he takes it to Z. He's got magic and he perfectly knows how to get the brand the added values it needs and raise its sales to the point it makes fortunes. It's important to highlight that his success is not searching for awards, he doesn’t live for them. He's success is due to the effectiveness of his commercials; they raise sales and make great business for the clients." -José Becker

"Simón Bross is a director who respects the creative idea. He is impeccable in production and brilliant directing actors. He is very clear that production values go in function of the creative idea (script), and he knows how to maximize those values. In addition, he's totally honest when it comes to giving feedback of the creative ideas. He always finds the way to make the idea richer and establish clear production criteria (meaning he finds the right actor, location and other elements that were visualized in the initial idea). He directs commercials in a very special way: he achieves credibility and makes the target identified with them. We work in each commercial just as we would work on a feature film: my creative labor is to make the script and then he takes that idea into the screen taking care of each element on the scene." -Lourdes Lamasney

"Simón has a great passion for advertising and he adds a lot to all the creative ideas he directs. He cares that the consumer gets connected to the ideas. He analyzes how to make commercials that we’ll be remembered and will not get lost." -Tony Hidalgo

"Simón has a great criteria to the select creative ideas he wants to direct. When he detects a good idea he knows how to get close to the creative to make it even better. Working with him is like working with another creative, the only difference is that he directs and he also knows the bases of advertising." –Yuri Alvarado.

"Simon knows exactly what to do and know how to do the main thing , which helps to enrich the scripts achieving their business connect with people in seconds. " Tebo Samaniego.
