Background

About Luis Padilla

I’m originally from Jalisco, Mexico. I arrived to Kansas City in 2007 thanks to a soccer scholarship. Through soccer, I grew my network and my involvement with the Latino community in Kansas City and the Midwest. In 2015, I co-founded a soccer academy for inner-city kids. The academy had more than 120 children, with the majority from a Latino background. One of the academy’s teams I coached achieved second place at Nationals, and I was recognized as the “2018 United States Boys National Coach of the Year”. After my time in soccer and working for several years in marketing and community engagement focused on the Latino Community, I saw the need to help businesses improve their brand’s presence by offering quality services and products that were typically only available to the general market. I founded Fresco Marketing in 2018. Fresco is a minority-owned multicultural marketing agency that is refreshing the way companies see, understand and communicate with their consumers in an environment of constant change. We help brands connect culturally, emotionally and authentically with the community and their consumers, cultivating a stronger presence that allows them to get to the next level. We offer branding, design, research, strategy, creative, content, advertising, and community outreach. At Fresco, we want to work with brands that make a difference, that go beyond just selling or producing more, but also creating ways to help the community. Specialties: Hispanic and Latin American Marketing and Advertising
