Laurence Boschetto, CEO & President, DraftfcbA few decades back, the ad industry witnessed the rise of specialist agencies built around key disciplines such as direct and retail and digital. The same applied to agencies targeting certain demographic groups. Now digital agencies are rushing to the middle in their quest to become general shops, and vice versa. We’re witnessing a similar phenomenon with multicultural agencies more frequently and effectively crossing over to target what will soon become the new general market. According to Mr. Boschetto, the future will belong to those agencies that most effectively reflect the attitudes and insights of an increasingly multi-hued population – where Diversity & Inclusion is no longer an initiative but a fundamental reality.Podcast #47 - AHAA 2013 Conference - Laurence Boschetto

Hanna Rosin, Author of "The End of Men...and The Rise of Women"
From the Supreme Court to the White House Cabinet, from the classroom to the checkout counter, the lens on America’s Latinas has never been more focused. But how much progress are they really making? Since hitting the shelves in September 2012, Hanna Rosin’s controversial book has sparked an international debate with her premise that the new global service economy has shifted the dynamics of power and influence so dramatically that women – for the first time in history – are not just gaining ground on men at home, school and in the workplace, but are now ahead. Could this be the end of macho? Do Rosin’s compelling insights and fascinating observations reflect today’s Hispanic USA? You won’t want to miss this provocative session.

How can Hispanic Democrats use their social media and grass roots advantage to change the political map by winning states like Texas?

Can Latino leaders leverage their new-found clout to change the narrative and improve the debate on immigration, education, Latin American trade and other hot-button issues?

An opinionated panel of pundits and spokespersons gears up for what promises to be an insightful, high-spirited session. 2013 AHAA Conference - Rosario Marin

As more Latinos enter the mainstream at every socio-economic level and in every geographic region, the profile of the mainstream consumer itself has changed. Hispanic consumers make new demands on General Market advertisers, while mainstream clients put new creative and economic pressure on Hispanic expertise. Language, culture, experience – the traditional parameters are blurring into a world of new metrics and competencies, new players and alliances, new competition and new business models. Are we the General Market? What are our true strengths and weaknesses? What’s the best model today and for the future? Two of our industry’s brightest minds bring two very different and passionate perspectives to the discussion.

The marketing communications world has changed more in the last ten years than in the previous 40. Agencies of today look and act much differently then they did in the 90’s. They’ve had to in order to thrive, or even survive. The good news, or bad news--depending one’s the point of view-- is that even more change will take place over the next five years.

The need to strike a balance between their two cultures and identities and the desire to "crack" the American code is at the core of what differentiates Latinos from the mainstream.
