She is Carissa.

El es José.

José and Carissa are an award winning creative team that have been working together for 15 years. Together they've been named to AdWeek’s creative 100 list, won the Super Bowl USA Today Ad Meter, created WhatsApp's 'biggest global campaign to date', dangled Kevin Hart by his crotch 40-something feet above Los Angeles, taught Lebron James how to accurately 'make it rain' with Ruffles, became part of T-Pain's entourage for an LA City block, and talked fantasy hockey (which they know nothing about) with Michael Bublé. Amongst many other things. Allegedly.
