Ester likes talking, but not about herself, so we are doing it for her. Recognizing that she was born an advertiser at heart, in retrospect, she is pleased to have veered away from her vocation for a few years to study Industrial Design at the Universidad Javeriana de Bogota. Later she joined the Continued Education Program with Milton Glaser at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Soon after taking her first steps in the industry at Leo Burnett in Colombia, the entrepreneur in her strongly surfaced giving birth to Ester Rabinovici Design Studio.

Accounts such as Hoteles Estelar de Colombia, Colseguros y Bancafe consolidated the agency, which became Rabinovici y Asociados and is still successfully running today. In the year 2000, the agency expanded to the US as Rabinovici & Associates, covering marketing and branding activities for the domestic (US), regional and global markets. Aside from being involved in the creative process of each project, Ester is passionate about creating go-to-market strategies designed to build brands, and is a constant source of inspiration for her team; this unique synergy is reflected in award wins every time the agency participates in a competition: 6 book covers, 3 campaigns and 1 website. The roster of clients includes Kodak, Motorola, E&J Gallo and Badia Spices, among many others in the US and Colombia.

Not only is Ester an exceptional entrepreneur but also a great leader for her “Challenge Team”, for her community and for the industry. Ester is a member of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and of the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies (AHAA).

Ester has achieved all of the above without jeopardizing her family or her values. She loves cooking for her family: Samuel, her husband of 30 years, and many more to come, her son Boris and her daughter Debbie.
