Join us April 17th at 11:30am as we welcome Allan Vargas to the Double Tree Hotel. Vargas is the strategy partner at fourdiaz l vargas llc, a Marketing Communications and Business Development firm in Miami, FL. fourdiaz | vargas llc focuses on the preparation and execution of communications strategies and tactics for companies who want to make a significant impact within the General and US Hispanic markets. In addition to their Miami office, they have offices in San Antonio, Texas and Jacksonville, Florida.
As our April keynote speaker, Vargas will be covering the US Hispanic market.
"We believe that: [being hispanic is a culture not a language]. We believe the US Hispanic Market includes all Hispanics regardless of language abilities. Regardless of the language they are most comfortable speaking, Hispanics consider themselves Hispanic first and foremost and that is determined by their culture not simply their language fluency. Therefore, what best determines how the Hispanic target is to be addressed depends on a variety of factors (i.e., product or service being offered, age, location, communications objectives, etc.) not simply whether they speak Spanish or not."
Please make plans to join us on April 17th.
When: Wednesday, April 17th | 11:30am
Where: The Double Tree Hotel
