Daniel Granatta Grupo W, Mexico
Born in Caceres (Spain), where he still owns a Vic20 and a Commodore64, Daniel lives in Saltillo, a small place in northern Mexico, where he moved years ago to become interactive director at Grupo W, an interactive agency specialized in interactive communication. Named by LatinSpots magazine as the most awarded interactive Mexican agency over the last five years, last year was ranked 4th by 2008 Gunn Report, as well as being recognized and awarded in various national and international festivals such as Cannes, Webby, Clio, One Show Interactive, New York Festivals, Art Directors, El Sol, Wave Festival, Ojo de Iberoamérica, Effie or Flash in the Can, among others.
Juror in events such as Circulo Creativo (Mexico) and LAUS Awards (Spain), Daniel gives frequent lectures and seminars and has published several books, being probably the most prolific author in the Spanish language on the subject of Flash, ActionScript and interactive design. He has a dark secret (he doesn’t believe in fate anymore) and when not working, he enjoys listening to Jimi Hendrix’s masterpieces “1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)” and “Moon, Turn the Tides ... Gently, Gently Away,” just to remember how the Atlantis looked just before sinking.
Oh, and he likes turtles too.
