d expósito & Partners

What d expósito & Partners does

d expósito & Partners is a New York-based, privately-held cross-cultural marketing and advertising agency operating under the registered trademark 'The New American Agency®.' Founded in 2005 as an LLC and headquartered at 400 Madison Avenue, the firm serves enterprise and mid-market brands seeking to reach the Hispanic and broader cross-cultural mainstream in the United States. Its client portfolio spans healthcare (Tufts Health One Care), consumer goods (Tajín), nonprofit and membership organizations (AARP), public service (Ad Council), government (NYC Childcare), and cultural institutions (Smithsonian).

The agency's service offering is organized as a platform of three integrated sub-brands: Efectiva, a media agency for cross-cultural media planning and buying; Resonant, a cross-cultural public relations practice; and Insight Story, a market intelligence and business strategy offering. Across these, the firm delivers strategy, planning, advertising, digital, full media, social, PR, and direct marketing services, anchored by a proprietary methodology called 'Cultural Dexterity' that combines cultural intelligence, emotional intelligence, and business intelligence.

The firm operates a sales-led, relationship-driven B2B go-to-market motion, acquiring clients through enterprise case study showcases (AARP, Smithsonian, Ad Council), thought leadership (manifesto, sub-brand resources), and direct outreach via a 'Let's Chat' contact mechanism. Revenue is generated through professional services fees — likely retainer or project-based — for advertising and marketing engagements. The company does not disclose a proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or integrations, and has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors; ownership appears to remain with co-founders Daisy Exposito-Ulla and Jorge Ulla (Partner and Chief Ideation Officer).
