Latinum Network Unveils New Strategies For Creating Most Effective And Engaging Latino Marketing Programs At An Executive Roundtable Hosted By Univision Communications

NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Latinum Network and Univision Communications, the leading media company serving Hispanic America, are convening more than 40 of the most influential multicultural marketing executives in New York today for an in-depth review and peer discussion of Latinum's latest strategic initiative, Creating Effective and Engaging Latino Marketing Programs.

During this event, Latinum will share more than two dozen engagement best practices, drawn from analysis of and direct access to the in-market strategies of its more than 85 market leading member companies. The session will also include a deep-dive into the voice of the Latino consumer, drawn from VozLatinum, Latinum's in-house online community of more than 5,000 U.S. Hispanics. Other agenda items include an entirely unique examination of strategies for maximizing TV reach, built on Latinum's proprietary analyses of Nielsen data, and a roundtable discussion of the future of the Hispanic agency.

"These Executive Roundtable sessions are a highlight of the Latinum membership experience," said Latinum co-founder Michael Klein, "and we're excited to be working with Univision to bring so many market leading companies together around such an important set of issues. It's rare to have assembled in one place a group that represents the leading edge of thought and practice in the multicultural segment, so we've designed the day to ensure that we tap fully into the expertise and experience of the executives in the room."

"Latinum's roundtable comes at a pivotal time as the multicultural consumer, particularly the Hispanic consumer, continues to drive growth and influence within the U.S.," said Roberto Ruiz, senior vice president, Brand Solutions, Univision Communications. "With new ideas and strategies on the table, we're excited to co-host the event with Latinum and to contribute to such a critical discussion all marketers should have."

This encore presentation of Creating Effective and Engaging Latino Marketing Programs follows a full capacity turnout at the inaugural meeting in Las Vegas, co-hosted by Dr Pepper Snapple Group. It also marks the culmination of a series of 2012 Latinum events focused on arming Fortune 500 companies and brands with the strategies and tools necessary to effectively target the Hispanic and multicultural consumer.
