Guatemala’s Fundacion Ayudame a Vivir Fundraising Campaign Raises More Than $2.6 Million

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Press Releases ]
Tags: , , , , , , ,

“Fundacion Ayudame a Vivir, a Guatemalan non-profit organization that raises money for cancer treatment of underprivileged children, today announced it raised more than US$2.6 million (Q20,252,400) during a three-month campaign entitled “Unete Para Salvar Ninos Con Cancer” Mega Lottery. The lottery included prizes consisting of ten Hyundai automobiles and three homes in Guatemala. The announcement was made by Maria Eugenia de Mata, president of Ayudame a Vivir.

Ayudame a Vivir created its Unete Mega Lottery campaign in 2001 to fund the Unidad Nacional de Oncologlia Pediatrica (UNOP), a hospital that specializes in the treatment of cancer for children and adolescents. Consequently, Ayudame a Vivir and its Unete Mega Lottery have become the largest non-governmental supporter of the UNOP comprising 40 percent of the UNOP’s annual operating budget.

“We were thrilled to have the support and financial assistance of many corporate sponsors, including long-standing contributors Juan Jose Gutierrez, president of Pollo Campero, and Dionisio Gutierrez and Juan Luis Bosch, co-presidents of Corporacion Multi Inversiones,” said de Mata. “These corporations were instrumental in the success of this campaign. We are extremely pleased with the results.”

According to de Mata, Ayudame a Vivir recently concluded its fundraising efforts in El Salvador, which secured more than US$250,000.

“The foundation also has plans to begin fundraising efforts in the United States, with the hope that Ayudame a Vivir can make a difference for children in need of cancer treatment throughout the world — bringing hope to children and families who are unable to pay for treatment,” de Mata said.

About Ayudame a Vivir
Ayudame a Vivir, which was founded in 1997, has made a tremendous impact on cancer treatment in Guatemala. Through its efforts, Ayudame a Vivir has played a role in helping professionals increase child cancer survival rates in Guatemala from 10 percent to 70 percent, and has helped treat more than 2,500 childre”*

Grupo Gallegos, Dieste, Harmel & Partners And Vidal Partnership Are Most Awarded Winners at 9th Annual Advertising Age Hispanic Creative Advertising Awards - Press Release

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Marketing ] [ Press Releases ] [ Blogante Business ]
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

“Grupo Gallegos won Best of Show at the 9th Annual Advertising Age Hispanic Creative Advertising Awards presented in cooperation with the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies (AHAA) Friday evening in New York. The Long Beach, California-based Hispanic agency was the biggest winner of the evening picking up five other awards for Comcast (a TV Gold, two TV Silvers, a Radio Silver, and a Multimedia Bronze), as well as Gold and Silver TV awards for Energizer batteries and the California Milk Processor Board.

The Best of Show winning spot, titled “Ketchup,” pitches a Comcast Triple Play package for broadband, phone and cable service positioned as so attractively priced that your wallet is grateful. In the spot, the grateful wallet makes a bizarre leap off the table to shield its owner from flying ketchup. “The judges picked a Best of Show that showed that price promotions, which usually aren’t very creative, can be winners if they are based on a clever idea,” said Laurel Wentz, Advertising Age’s international and multicultural editor.

This year’s competition drew a record number of entries, 718, evaluated in the following categories: television, radio, magazine, newspaper, out-of- home, multimedia, nontraditional/guerrilla marketing, interactive and direct marketing. Two new categories were added this year, Bicultural and English- speaking Hispanics to reflect the growth of marketing efforts toward English- speaking Hispanics as well as the Spanish-dominant. The new Beyond Hispanic category recognizes that Hispanic agencies are increasingly being tapped by marketers to do broader multicultural efforts or general market work, such as the LatinWorks spot starring Carlos Mencia for Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light, which debuted on the Super Bowl this year.

“We continue to raise the bar in creative excellence,” said Jackie Bird, AHAA chairwoman and president of WingLatino. “The quality of our work just keeps getting better and better as exemplified by the amazing work showcased during the ceremony. We are breaking barriers and using traditional advertising in interesting ways to connect with the multi-dimensional Hispanic consumer. We are demonstrating that we aren’t creating great Hispanic advertising, we are creating great advertising that just happens to target Hispanic consumers.”

The panel of judges was chaired by Aldo Quevedo, president and chief creative officer of Dieste, Harmel & Partners. The jury was composed of four creative talents: Quevedo; Juan Oubina, creative director, Grupo Gallegos; Andres Ordonez, VP-creative director, Zubi Advertising; and Paco Olavarrieta, creative consultant, and three senior marketers Graciela Eleta de Cacho, VP- multicultural development organization for North America, Procter & Gamble Co.; Isaac Mizrahi, director-multicultural marketing, Sprint; and Daniel Villarroel, director-multiethnic marketing, Maybelline New York and Garnier.

For the first time, a separate jury judged the fast-growing interactive category and included judges Rick Marroquin, CMO, Batanga; Fernanda Romano, executive creative director, Lowe Worldwide; Priscila Aviles Jamison, senior director, ethnic brands-creative, McDonald’s/U.S. marketing.

The awards show followed AHAA’s fall conference and was organized by Dieste, Harmel & Partners. The gala featured the El Dí­a de Los Muertos theme from the conference and was co-hosted by actors Manny Perez and Genesis Rodriguez.

A special report on the Hispanic winners is featured on AdAge.com and the winning work can be viewed in the November 5th issue of Advertising Age.

Hyundai Motor America Launches National Hispanic Outreach Program on Financial Planning and Business Development

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Press Releases ] [ Your Money ]
Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

“Hyundai Motor America has partnered with one of the nation’s leading experts and advocates for financial empowerment and small business development as well as best-selling author, Louis Barajas. Celebrating his second published book, Small Business, Big Life in May 2007, Hyundai is hosting the book signing tour and financial and entrepreneurial empowerment workshops at the annual conventions of the leading Hispanic advocacy, professional and business organizations as well as higher education associations representing Hispanic-serving institutions in the country.

Louis Barajas is a premier example of the American dream. Born in East Los Angeles and the son of Mexican immigrants, Mr. Barajas began his financial and small business career in his teens by helping his father and mother with their wrought iron business. He graduated from UCLA in 1984, received his MBA from Claremont Graduate School in 1987, and attained a Certified Financial Planner designation from the Denver College of Financial Planning in 1990. After years of experience at major accounting and financial planning firms, he returned to East Los Angeles in 1991 to form his own financial and business planning firm. Louis wished to make a difference within the Latino community he grew up in, hard-working men and women who, because of a lack of information or understanding, often had limited financial choices that kept them from achieving the success, security, and significance they deserved.

Hyundai admires the personal and business accomplishments Mr. Barajas has achieved throughout his career and the significance and overall impact he sets on all those who have the opportunity to read his books, listen to his speeches or participate in one of his workshops. “At Hyundai, we are proud to encourage good thinking and align ourselves with programs that benefit communities in which we live and do business,” said Alma McMaster, National Manager of Diversity Relations for Hyundai Motor America. “The Hispanic Market has contributed tremendously to Hyundai’s success in the United States and we are proud to partner with Mr. Barajas as he launches his second book.”

The tour was launched during the annual convention of The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest and most influential Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S. The annual conference and Latino Business Expo were recently held this year in Miami, Fl.

As the program continues to tour the country, Hyundai expands the positive echoing effects of Mr. Barajas inspirational and motivational words through the book signing tour offering thousands of consumers complimentary signed copies of his most recent published book and powerful workshops for Hispanic entrepreneurs. “Hyundai recognizes and applauds the work and success of Louis Barajas and is proud to unite with individuals and organizations that help to enrich the local communities we do business with,” states Walter Rodriguez, Diversity Relations Manager for Hyundai Motor America. “We share his passion and mission to improve opportunities for Hispanics throughout the country.”

Hyundai recently sponsored the 28th Annual Convention and Business Expo of the California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (CHCC) on August 22 - 26, 2007 in Long Beach, CA. The CHCC is the premier and largest regional Hispanic business organization in the nation representing the interests of over 600,000 Hispanic-owned businesses in the state of California. The chamber promotes the economic growth and development of Hispanic entrepreneurs through its network and support of over 60 local Hispanic chambers and business associations throughout the state.

Louis Barajas offered “The Journey to Financial Greatness for Small Business Owners” workshop in both English and Spanish complimentary to the public thanks to the support of Hyundai. The workshop helps individuals and business owners attain their financial goals through the proper implementation of wise financial and business strategies. Louis Barajas personally conducted the workshops and guided all participants through his proven 10 steps required to achieve financial greatness.

Houston, Texas was home for the 18th Annual Conference and Career Expo for the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA), the third event Hyundai sponsored in conjunction with the book tour visit with Louis Barajas. The conference took place on October 4 through 6 with attendance exceeding 7,000 Hispanic MBA professionals and students participating in informative workshops on current business issues and professional development; as well as host of one of the preeminent career expos in the country providing strong network opportunities among members and students, academic institutions and corporate participants.

Hyundai’s Hispanic Financial Empowerment Program will reach the Midwest on October 20, 2007 during the 21st Annual Conference of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) taking place in Chicago, IL. As this year’s theme, “Championing Hispanic Education Success: A Imperative for the 21st Century,” Hyundai’s Hispanic Outreach program reinforces this goal with workshops conducted by Mr. Louis Barajas as well as complimentary signed books to attendees that will provide the right tools for their financial success and educational goals.

Continuing the commitment and support of providing resources for Hispanic entrepreneurial empowerment, Hyundai will be sponsoring the 2007 National Minority Supplier Development Council Conference and Business Opportunity Fair at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The NMSDC has made great strides in providing increased procurement and business opportunities for minority-owned businesses. Hyundai together with Louis Barajas will provide complimentary signed books at the business opportunity fair on Monday October 29, 2007.

“At Hyundai, we believe partnering with qualified, experienced and value-driven suppliers regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or size will foster the business advantage required to succeed in this market,” states Keith Duckworth, Executive V.P. General Affairs for Hyundai Motor America. “Additionally, we recognize a diverse supplier pool allows us to take advantage of new perspectives, unique talents and cutting edge ideas. We are committed to search for the most professional and diverse business partners.”

Hyundai Diversity Relations’ objective is to foster an environment in which diversity is explicitly recognized as a fundamental part of not only the company’s internal infrastructure, but in all aspects of the company’s business operations including community outreach and philanthropic efforts. The alignments and programs established this year will help enrich communities nationwide and contribute to the overall economic health of the nation.

Complete programming information for XM’s Hispanic Heritage Month lineup, including detailed broadcast schedules, is available online at www.xmradio.com/latino .

In September 1968, Congress authorized President Lyndon B. Johnson to proclaim National Hispanic Heritage Week. The observance was expanded in 1988 to a month-long celebration (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15) during which America celebrates the culture and traditions of U.S. residents who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and the Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, South America and the Caribbean. Sept. 15 was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and 18, respectively.

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Marketing ] [ Press Releases ] [ Blogante Business ]

“Hyundai Motor America HMA announced today that it selected LatinWorks as its national Hispanic marketing and advertising agency of record. The selection was announced following presentations by five agencies at HMA’s national headquarters in Fountain Valley, Calif. last week.

“Hyundai understands the importance of the Hispanic market and with the addition of LatinWorks as our marketing partner, we are strengthening our commitment to this community,” said HMA Vice President of Marketing Joel Ewanick. “We believe that their strategic understanding and proven creative abilities will move Hyundai’s relationship with the Hispanic community further.”

The agency will begin working immediately on national Hispanic advertising for Hyundai. The first campaign is expected to appear shortly in Internet, broadcast and print media.

LatinWorks, known for its creative body of work, has recently been recognized across the industry, winning the prestigious Bronze Lion Award at the 2007 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival and three creative awards for internet campaigns from the Interactive Media Council.

Latina Marketing Agency Owners Form Alliance - San Antonio-based Market Vision leads effort to extend Latina marketing power from coast to coast

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Latinas ] [ Marketing ] [ Press Releases ]
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

“A group of five Latina marketing agency principals from throughout the country today announced the formation of the Latina Agency Alliance (LAA), a coast-to-coast network of advertising, marketing and communications services targeting the Latino market.

Yvonne “Bonnie” Garcia, owner of San Antonio-based Market Vision, spearheaded the LAA concept. Other members of the network of independently owned Latina companies are Coco Corona, president, BY DESIGN Multimedia, a Hispanic marketing, special events and production company located in Vallejo, Calif.; Zully Gonzalez, president, LatinSolutions, Inc., Long Beach, Calif., an event marketing and promotions agency; Gabriela Neves, owner, LatinFactory, Inc., a New York City-based events and experiential marketing company; and Pat Pulido-Sanchez, president & CEO, Pulido Sanchez Communications, LLC, Chicago, a strategic marketing communications agency.

The alliance will provide a framework to pursue new business opportunities, share capabilities and resources, refer clients, mentor young Latinas who hope to start their own companies, and collaborate on solutions to business issues each of the Latina-owned firms faces daily.

“Corporate America sometimes bases decisions to allow companies into pitches on revenue alone,” Garcia said. “Our alliance agencies have the talent, creative energy and track records to participate in pitches. Now our combined resources – both revenue and human – will provide us the opportunity to make it into RFP’s where the bar is set very high, precluding smaller shops from making the cut.”

The agencies offer a range of marketing services including strategic planning, advertising, promotions, experiential events, retailtainment, Web marketing strategies, public relations and corporate communications. The alliance will strengthen the agencies’ presence in the marketplace, with offices in San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and New York City; an employee base of 75; and access to a pool of 3,000 brand ambassadors.

The group met in San Antonio in June at an informal Latina Agency Alliance Summit to design a structure that would benefit each of the companies.

“Each of us began on her own with our individual vision of success. Now with five Latinas working together, our combined vision is laser-focused on becoming one of the largest Latina-owned and operated agency resources in the country,” said Garcia.

“We each have areas of strength, both from a skill set and regional perspective,” said Corona. “This is a great opportunity to expand our scope of work and influence on the Latino marketplace.”

“Given the rapid growth and diversity of the Latino market across the country, Corporate America needs to be poised to communicate its message, image and brands effectively using innovative new media tools such as Web marketing and social networks,” said Pulido Sanchez. “This alliance will enable us to broaden our reach and capabilities across the nation.”

“Our group includes some of the most creative and strategic events and marketing thinkers in the business,” said Gonzalez. “We are passionate about our work and about the impact we can make on the Latino marketing industry.”

Neves agreed, adding, “One of the elements we share is that we are all seasoned Hispanic marketing professionals who are used to being very hands-on in our work. We can bring clients a level of comfort because they know that senior people are working on their business.”

Each of the network member firms has worked informally with Market Vision for several years as a minority supplier. “I admired their work ethic, tenacity and most of all, their entrepreneurial spirit and desire to succeed,” Garcia said.

National Latino Automotive Council to Meet with Major Foreign Manufacturers

Filed under [ Business ] [ Hispanic News ] [ Press Releases ]
Tags: , , ,

“Hispanic auto dealers, industry suppliers and national leaders of major Latino business organizations will meet with senior representatives of Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, BMW and others on June 11 and 12 in Los Angeles. The first National Latino Automotive Conference is designed to address opportunities for entry and growth for Hispanics amidst traditional concern for inequality within the industry.

A recent survey confirmed that of the more than 27,000 auto dealerships and franchises in the United States, less than 3 percent are Hispanic-owned. In light of the constantly growing Hispanic marketplace, National Latino Automotive Council leaders are determined to jump-start new dealerships and supplier contracts for qualified Latinos throughout the country.

“Five years ago we faced the inequalities and financial hurdles of establishing a base of Hispanic owners and suppliers among the Big Three American auto manufacturers. Today, with the giant market share that foreign car companies enjoy, it is essential that we create a level playing field for qualified Hispanic would-be dealers and those who service the auto industry. Clearly, the timing is right, with Toyota having surpassed General Motors as number one,” said David Lizarraga, Chairman of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and co-chair of the Automotive Conference.

“The $800 billion purchasing power of 35 million Hispanics in the United States should be enough to convince industry leaders that a far greater number of Latino dealerships are in order, and a similar growth in collateral industries that provide products and services for the automobile world is needed,” said Hector Barreto, Chairman of the Latino Coalition.

Lizarraga and Barreto are co-chairs of the conference, sponsored by the growing national Latino Automotive Council. Some 250 current auto dealers and contractors as well as Hispanic business leaders and public officials from throughout the country are expected to participate in candid face-to-face sessions with foreign dealer decision makers.

“This is not a make-nice reception, but a serious meeting with serious people determined to bring about change and to use their market strength and brand loyalty to achieve it,” said Al Pina, Council co-founder.”
