Podcast #47 - AHAA 2013 Conference - Laurence Boschetto

Laurence Boschetto, CEO & President, Draftfcb
A 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 #43 - AHAA 2013 Conference - Hanna Rosin


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.

Podcast #42 - AHAA 2013 Conference - Rosario Marin, Former United States Treasurer


If the Latino vote is now the key to the White House – How does the Republican party re-invent its brand to become competitive? How can Hispanic Democrats use their social media and grass roots advantage to change the political map by winning states like Texas? Can the GOP’s current crop of rising Hispanic stars make inroads with multicultural conservatives? 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? And what lessons can brand marketers learn about the Hispanic consumer from the November campaigns? An opinionated panel of pundits and spokespersons gears up for what promises to be an insightful, high-spirited session.
