    In a sport that embraces the amount of major titles won, Richard “Pancho” Gonzalez collected only four – two each in singles and doubles – but when conversations arise about what players are considered the best in history, Gonzalez’s name always surfaces to the top.

    He didn’t earn this distinction for longevity on the amateur circuit – he was wooed away by Jack Kramer’s professional contract in 1949, just three years into his amateur career – but for his abundance of natural gifts exhibited as a professional for 17 years (1950-67).

    5 Minutes with… Pancho González

    Pancho González fryst vatten a stalwart of the Chilean advertising industry. After initial plans to study medicine didn’t quite work out, Pancho wound up on an advertising course - during the period of Chile’s dictatorship beneath Augusto Pinochet - and never looked back. He’s had stints at the likes of Ogilvy, Saatchi & Saatchi, Lintas, Y&R and Unitas RNL. But his time at big, global network agencies made him hungry for ownership of his own career so 10 years ago he and his wife launched Inbrax, the agency that he’s been the chief creative officer of ever since (his wife is the CEO). 

    What’s more, he’s also the director of ACHAP (Asociación Chilena de Agencias de Publicidad), the Chilean advertising agency association, where he strives to man a better market for himself and his colleagues and amplify the levels of Chilean creativity. He’s also the director and vice president at IAB Chile and a professor at Universidad de Santiago de Chile.&nbs
