Happy Thanksgiving, From La Voz

November 22, 2012

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” – William Arthur Ward

Like many, we use the Thanksgiving holiday as a time to look back and realize how fortunate and grateful we are for everything we have! To honor this tradition, we’ve compiled a list of a few things (in no particular order) that we are most thankful for.

  1. Loyal Clients – without you we would have no success to celebrate!
  2. Family & Friends – there for us through the good times and the bad.
  3. Health – thank goodness for flu shots!
  4. US Troops – put their life on the line every day to fight for our freedom and protect our nation.
  5. The Economy – some may beg to differ but we are still in business and busier than ever!
  6. JACKSTIN – love our new website!
  7. La Voz Employees – without your hard work, this company wouldn’t exist.
  8. Kean Coffee – for our morning, afternoon and yes, sometimes even evening pick-me-up for those long work days.
  9. Black Friday/Cyber Monday – although chaotic, it’s a great time to score deals on our winter wardrobe and tech products!
  10. SoCal Weather – 70’s and sunny in November? Doesn’t get much better than this!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones from all of us at La Voz! May your day be filled with family, friends and full bellies 🙂

The Annual Event for Latino Trendsetters and Newsmakers – Hispanicize 2013

November 20, 2012

As 2012 comes to an end, we are already moving forward and thinking about where to spend Spring Break 2013. What better place to spend it than in Miami Beach at the annual Hispanicize conference!

For those who are unfamiliar with this conference, Hispanicize is the iconic annual event for Latino trendsetters and newsmakers in social media, journalism, marketing, film, music and innovation. Now in its fourth year, Hispanicize is a gateway for new products, campaigns, films, technologies and more, specifically targeted toward Latinos.

Having attended Hispanicize 2011 in Los Angeles, we cannot wait to see what Hispanicize 2013 has to offer! In 2011, the focus was on social media and helping brands connect with bloggers. Now, 2 years later, Hispanicize 2013 is bringing three of the nation’s top Latino marketing trade media journals – The Hispanic PR Blog, Produ and Hispanic Market Weekly – together in efforts to bring unity to the Hispanic advertising, PR and social media industries.

Viva Miami Beach 2013!
