    Effie Award 2008, a lo mejor de la comunicacion. 
     El hijo del empresario Carlos Slim Helu anadio que la representacion de 
    Mexico aqui y en el exterior es una marca que destaca "y cada dia esta mas 
    fuerte". 
     Durante su participacion en el evento, dijo que la situacion economica 
    mundial no ha impactado a la industria de la publicidad, ya que las empresas 
    no pueden prescindir de la comunicacion. 
     "Independientemente de la situacion en que a veces vivimos, si de alguna 
    herramienta no se puede prescindir es la comunicacion y de la difusion de 
    las ideas, sobre todo de las campanas de los productos", afirmo el empresario.
