Isla Appoints Dany Minaker and Sebastián “Patán” Tarazaga as Executive Creative Directors

​Isla continues to strengthen its international footprint with the appointment of Dany Minaker and Sebastián "Patán" Tarazaga as executive creative directors. The acclaimed creative duo join the agency’s ECD team alongside Mariano Gamba, Rodrigo Greco, Matías Eusebi, Julián Tachella, and Celeste Dalairac.

After nearly two decades working together and building one of Latin America's most celebrated creative partnerships, Dany and Sebastián will now lead Isla’s development of ideas with global impact.

Throughout their careers, the duo has held senior creative leadership roles across some of the world’s leading agency networks. Based in the United States, they led global assignments for brands including Coca-Cola, Unilever, Microsoft, Nike, Disney, and Mercado Libre, earning recognition at the industry’s most prestigious award shows, including two Cannes Lions Innovation Grand Prix.

Their arrival marks another milestone in Isla’s continued growth. Following the consolidation of its operations across Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, and the expansion of its work into Europe and the United States, the agency continues to invest in world-class talent to fuel its international ambitions.

Dany Minaker and Sebastián “Patán” Tarazaga said, “After many years in large agency networks, we felt it was time to reconnect with the purest form of strategic and creative thinking. At Isla, we found a culture built by people who share our belief in creating ideas that are relevant, ambitious, and capable of generating real impact for brands. It's no coincidence that the agency was named International Agency of the Year by the A-List. We’re excited to help raise Isla's creative standards even further while supporting its expansion into new markets, especially the United States.”

“We've known Dany and Patán's talent for years, having worked alongside them at different agencies throughout our careers. Having them join Isla—and become part of the incredible team of executive creative directors we've built—is something we're genuinely thrilled about,” added the agency’s partners.

With these appointments, Isla continues to reinforce a model that combines Latin American talent, strategic thinking, and global ambition, building brands designed to compete and grow anywhere in the world.
