Following a five-year hiatus, the Chicago Latino Network Awards UnGala returned this past Friday to celebrate the noteworthy achievements and work of Chicago’s leading Latine leaders. From a field of prestigious nominees, PACO Collective’s CEO, Ozzie Godinez, wins the CLN 2023 Latinx Entrepreneur Award.As CEO and Co-Founder, Ozzie has helped to guide the team to deliver innovative work that empowers and authentically represents today’s ever-increasing diverse society. The success of this work has allowed PACO to grow by 53% in staff since July 2021. Additionally, the agency has won the Great Place to Work award four years running, which is a testament to the commitment of an inclusive company culture, the foundation for how PACO works within its halls to deliver best-in-class work for its clientele. “Since 2006, PACO has been committed to inclusive marketing and amplifying Latine voices. Now more than ever, we are inspired to continue pushing what it means to be an End-to-End Inclusivity™ organization, which informs everything we do, from the way we work to the campaigns we create,” said Ozzie Godinez. “As we celebrate and uplift Latine identities during Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m honored to receive this award as it marks 12 years since my co-founder and PACO CCO, Pablo Acosta, was the recipient. What began as two guys team working around a kitchen table has led to a diverse and vibrant team of marketers – we are honored to lead.”
