President & CEO

Edward Estipona has been building brands and buzz since 1993. Edward was born to innovate: He was only 23 when he founded his business, and he is among the youngest recipients of the local “Adver­tising Person of the Year” and “Marketer of the Year” awards. And while the industry has evolved, so has Edward’s approach to marketing: He is a recent recipient of NCET’s Technology Advocate of the Year award in Creative Services. While his business has grown and changed over time, Edward’s commitment to the com­munity has remained consistent. The Esti­pona Group was awarded the pres­tigious Governor’s Arts Award in recognition of its support of the arts, and the agency was a finalist for the Governor’s Points of Light Awards, recog­nizing community con­tribu­tion through volunteer service. He recently launched justthepositive.com, a website that shines a spotlight on the people and organizations in Northern Nevada com­mitted to improving our community. Creative Services
