Season 3 consists of 10 episodes of one hour each and will return with Ávila’s career on the rise as he takes on a new role as Lord of Lords, after getting rid of his predecessor—the priest who was his guide and confidant for years. When Dr. Duarte, father of the previously murdered Detective Duarte, reaches out to Ávila demanding to collaborate with him in the hopes of finding answers regarding the death of his daughter, a series of events will reveal a new plot of crime and corruption that involves undercover members of the government and the police. Soon, Sr. Ávila will realize that keeping his new job is going to be more challenging than the road that brought him there.
Those close to Ávila will also have to deal with new characters this season. Iván, both his advisor and right-hand man, will now have to compete over Ávila’s attention with Linares, former advisor to the Lord of Lords who now must serve Ávila. Ana, still an employee at the funeral home and accomplice to the business with Iván and Ávila, will confront her mom, Arcelia, and the secrets they keep regarding their past. As for Detective Sánchez, still recovering from the murder of his colleague, he is due to return to work with a new partner, the Vulture, with whom he shares more than likes and dislikes.

Alma Makes History At Cannes
MIAMI, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Cannes International Festival of Creativity is a yearly celebration that recognizes the best in creative advertising worldwide. June 25th marked the official culmination of the festival for 2016, which reflected a historic performance for Alma. The agency won a total of 8 Lions and 18 Shortlists, establishing a new record for the multicultural industry!
Photo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160630/385271
Alma’s legendary run included awards and shortlists in the Radio category for clients Tobacco Free Florida (TFF) and The Clorox Company. More specifically, Alma received 3 Bronze Lions for TFF’s “Auctioneer” and 1 Bronze Lion for “Tobacco Downs,” as well as 1 Silver Lion for Clorox’s “Thanks for Nothing’s Big Bang” and 1 Bronze for “Gravity.” Additionally, the Playdoh “Shapes” campaign received 1 Silver, and “Help Kenya Not Kanye” was awarded 1 Bronze in the Promo & Activation Category.
Statistically speaking, only 8% of submissions make the Shortlist and 2.5% are awarded.
“This is an amazing achievement for our agency! It’s only possible when you have great clients who believe in taking smart creative risks, and it belongs to the awesome Alma team that makes our clients and our agency proud on a daily basis. We work for great ideas that generate results for our clients, and awards are the consequence. I couldn’t be prouder!” said Luis Miguel Messianu, Creative Chairman and CEO of Alma.
“In a world where messaging has become hyper-fragmented, where consumers are skeptical about Marketing and are inundated by heavy messaging clutter, creativity matters!” stated Isaac Mizrahi, Co-President and COO of Alma.
“Award-winning ideas can only be achieved when you have a team that believes in and fights for those ideas, and especially when on the other side, there’s a client who trusts the agency and believes that good creativity can make a difference for the brand and consequently for business. When these two things happen, the agency experiences a “momentum.” And Alma is experiencing a momentum wherein winning prizes of this caliber is just a consequence,” remarked Alvar Sunol, Co-President and Chief Creative Officer of Alma.
Creatively, Alma rose to the #1 spot on the Circulo Creativo Hispanic Agency ranking, boosting the U.S. to the 4th place in Iberoamérica.
2016 so far has been an outstanding year for the Miami-based agency, comprised of 150 employees from over 30 nationalities. A fact that has strengthened the culture and clearly has contributed to its success with such impacting pieces.

Costa Rica: Ismael Cala to take part at ECHO, as speaker, a global event bringing together entrepreneurs and leaders in a natural setting
MIAMI and SAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Lecturer, inspirational author and communicator Ismael Cala has confirmed his participation at ECHO (Costa Rica), an event that brings together business leaders, entrepreneurs, revolutionaries and social activists who wish to get out of their comfort zone and seek new horizons as a community.
For 72 hours participants will explore their curiosity through workshops, talks and community togetherness, as they share their experiences of how they’ve gotten to where they are. In 2015, the group in attendance encompassed Syrian political refugees and CEOs of multinational companies, without any sort of hierarchy.
Attendees will be billeted in luxury tents immersed in nature, and for 72 hours they will have no access to any technology whatsoever.
“ECHO creates a community where we all live together; lecturers, workshop facilitators and participants tell stories and laugh under the same sky in our common house. Sleeping in tents at a distance from technology will remind me of my childhood. I’m sure it will be an unforgettable event. So catch the spirit, and join me at ECHO,” said Cala.
To apply, go to www.weareecho.org.
Sebastián Castro, co-founder of ECHO, observed: “Everyone here has something to teach, and above all a lot to learn. The experience of sharing things one on one with Ismael for three days can be a personal and professional catalyst for any participant. And yet, I also think it works the other way around.”
Ismael Cala recently announced his departure from CNN en Español after five and a half years leading the successful interview show, CALA, in prime time and a fifteen year affiliation with the network.
Cala will now be focusing on his career as a lecturer and author, and as president of his own company, Cala Enterprises.
