"Peer pressure" is a term used in the English language for being persuaded by those around you. this ad, very simply, says Lead, not follow.

Silvi, I am also natively a spanish speaker but I think this is a take on the common term, "peer pressure," which is the pressure that your friends exert onto you to do certain things (like being 'peer-pressured' to start smoking or drinking).

The take here is that you're not pressured or influenced by your friends; instead, you are the one exerting your influence over them.

I love it!

The take here is that you're not pressured or influenced by your friends; instead, you are the one exerting your influence over them. Because you read The Economist.

I love it!
