How do you find the courage to break the rules?

In this episode of Career Slay, my guest, Ivonne Kinser spent the first half of her career learning the rules so she could spend the second half breaking them. As the CEO and Founder of Vantage Creative Group, she helps challenger brands grow with the mission of solving the hardest marketing challenges by infusing untamed creativity and leveraging the power of technology. Her journey started in Venezuela and followed an unconventional path, from top advertising agencies to senior leadership roles in multiple corporations, including Avocados From Mexico and Hoplark Brands, plus some entrepreneurial ventures in between. She’s received multiple industry accolades and was the first Latina to win the DFW American Marketing Association Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2023, she published her best-selling book ‘THINK: The Manifesto for Creative & Critical Thinkers.

As a trailblazer & innovator, Ivonne’s career is a true testament of how to break the rules and challenge the status quo.
