as you know, he was whisked away by NATPE to become national

at Paramount and DreamWorks, and spent the past year working
with GMT Studios as production coordinator. He looks forward
to speaking with all of you, and getting to know the membership
asap. In one short week, he has already coordinated NALIP’s
Move to New Offices…

PLANS

Spanish-Language Projects
Sept. 7, 2004 NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- NEW YORK
(AdAge.com) -- This fall many marketers who have already taken
the first small steps into the U.S. Hispanic market -- typically
dabbling with local radio and translating a few general-market
TV commercials into Spanish -- are making the next, bigger
leap. That means committing more dollars, doing original creative
work in Spanish, and seeking more strategic insights into
the U.S. Hispanic consumers they are counting on to fuel their
growth. See full story at http://www.adage.com/news.cms?newsId=41425
