In 1956, he returned to Managua, Nicaragua, to work as the general manager of the advertising agency, Publicidad Cuadra Chamberlain. His brother, Raul founded the agency in 1950. During the next forty years, under Vicente's innovative and creative leadership, the agency prospered to become the undisputed leader[citation needed] in the advertising/communications industry in the country and one of the best in Latin America.
