NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For nine designers from The Art Institutes system of schools, New York Fashion Week is an opportunity to showcase the talent, determination, and creativity they each embody as reflected in their collections. This season’s theme is “Destinations.” The designers were challenged to take us on an inspirational journey of discovery and the collections that resulted will walk the runway of The Art Institutes Spring 2017 show.

These designers—both current students and recent graduates—understand that fashion is more than buzz-worthy apparel.

Each designer has overcome challenges throughout the process and pushed their creative limits. Along the way, they’ve all proven that they have what it takes to design and present their garments on one of fashion’s most esteemed runways. This marks the eighth season that The Art Institutes has partnered with New York Fashion Week to provide a career-defining moment for its promising designers. This talented group will debut their Spring/Summer 2017 collections on Thursday, September 8, at 8:00pm at The Arc, Skylight at Moynihan Station.

Since their selection, the nine finalists have dedicated endless hours to their designs and worked closely with faculty mentors to finalize their collections. The designers are current students and graduates of Art Institutes locations in Chicago, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Vancouver.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — OurFamilyWizard® introduces a Spanish version of its cloud-based web application for families and family law practitioners

The Spanish version of the OurFamilyWizard® website (OFW®) provides the same suite of features as well as the same levels of access and documentation to Spanish-speaking users. “Having a Spanish version allows us to better serve a wider range of parents and professionals,” said Jai Kissoon, CEO of OFW®.

Since 2001, OFW® has been helping thousands of co-parents manage family calendars, parenting time, family information, shared expenses and more from separate homes. OFW® has proven to help create clear, documented communication while also reducing divorce conflict. OFW® is by far the most widely-used co-parent communication tool to curb conflict and excessive litigation. Family courts across the US and Canada routinely order parents to use OFW® in contested cases.

According to a report by the Pew Research Center, more than 37 million people speak Spanish at home. The report also suggests that Spanish is the most spoken non-English language in the nation, even among non-Hispanics. As that number continues to grow, so will the number of Spanish-speaking households in the midst of a divorce or separation with children. Child Trends Databank reported that in 2015, 29 percent of all Hispanic children in the US only lived with one parent.

Whether a family prefers to converse in English, Spanish or both languages, OFW® provides the right tools to make co-parent communication more convenient and easier to manage. Along with families, professional access on OFW® is also available in Spanish. Family law and mental health practitioners can use OFW’s tools to streamline client management and improve client outcomes.

Post Consumer Brands’ Honey Bunches of Oats® Launches New ESTO. ES. TODO.™ Campaign Steeped in Hispanic Pop Culture

August 29, 2016

LAKEVILLE, Minn., Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Honey Bunches of Oats, the cereal of choice amongst Hispanics in the U.S., is launching a new 360-degree marketing campaign to encourage fans to rethink the classic cereal, which has two varieties – Honey Roasted and Almond – among the top 10 favorite cereals in America. The new “ESTO. ES. TODO.™” campaign celebrates the multiplicity of the product, from the crispy flakes to the crunchy granola oat clusters and the sweet touch of honey, while emphasizing a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats is greater than the sum of its parts. Multiple touchpoints are being utilized to bring the Hispanic fully integrated campaign to life in order to engage consumers in person, online, offline and on multiple screens. Across all marketing levers, the work interweaves memes from Hispanic social media and pop culture references to tell the brand story and allow consumers to play with and make the content their own.

Similar to the Hispanic campaign, there will be a concurrent mainstream campaign, “THIS. IS. EVERYTHING.™,” kicking off with new commercial spots hitting airwaves in August. Two versions of the commercial were created specifically to engage both Hispanic and mainstream audiences, each with unique creative. The TV spots mash-up iconic images with current pop culture memes to relay the timelessness and multi-sensorial experience of the cereal. Both spots maintain the same style and tone, however, the Spanish-language spots use images centered on cultural nostalgia and family. The ads will air across A+E Networks, Disney, NBCUniversal, Scripps Networks Interacitve, Turner, Viacom, and Univision Network, amongst others, in both :15 and :30 spots.

“By design, a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats is never one, but rather multiple tastes and textures that combine for the ultimate taste experience. So when we started down the journey of creating a new campaign, we wanted to celebrate the fact that our cereal is not just one thing – it’s EVERYTHING. We decided to play on the popularity of the phrase ‘This Is Everything’ to showcase our uniqueness in a fun and playful way,” said Ann Stockman, Senior Brand Manager, Honey Bunches of Oats. “With this campaign, we wanted to unify our message among our consumers. “ESTO. ES. TODO.™” the Hispanic adaptation of the campaign running in Spanish-language media, includes a culturally-relevant interpretation of our message that we hope will resonate positively with the Hispanic audience which is so important for Honey Bunches of Oats.”

In addition to the TV spots, the campaign will come to life in digital through an experience which allows fans to star in their own “ESTO. ES. TODO.™” video. Fans will be encouraged to visit www.honeybunchesthisiseverything.com and personalize the new ad with photos of themselves and their families. By creating and sharing their unique video, consumers will automatically be entered into the “¡Tú Eres La Estrella!” (Starring You) sweepstakes. One winner will be randomly selected to win $10,000. The sweepstakes launches today, August 29, 2016, and ends October 31, 2016.

“¡The Tú Eres La Estrella!” (Starring You) digital sweepstakes was the perfect overlay to show our fans how they mean EVERYTHING to us, by allowing them to become a part of the commercial. We think it’s engaging, shareable, and most importantly, a memorable way to involve our fans in the campaign,” said Julie Hewitt, Integrated Marketing Communications Manager, Honey Bunches of Oats.

In addition to the television and the digital and social elements, Honey Bunches of Oats has partnered with Univision Network to sponsor the finale of popular telenovela, “Un Camino Hacia el Destino,” as well as the premiere of the new telenovela “Amo Despertar Contigo,” with customized show recaps combining everything consumers love while watching telenovelas by creating overly-dramatic, humorous and buzz-worthy vignettes. Some of the additional multiple touchpoints that will bring the fully integrated campaign to life include a sampling tour, retailer events, media partnerships, including “Jane the Virgin” in CW primetime, and Screenvision Media (cinema) ads. “Through all our marketing levers, we’re promoting a synergistic campaign, so our fans will experience the “ESTO. ES. TODO.™” message at every step of their journey,” said Hewitt. Snapchat users will even experience the “ESTO. ES. TODO.™” campaign via the social platform’s newly launched Snap Ads Between Friends platform.

Mobile users in 461 cities today get 50% faster peak speeds at no extra cost. Introducing Verizon LTE Advanced.

August 29, 2016

NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Verizon announced today it has launched LTE Advanced technology to bring 50% faster peak wireless data speeds to more than 288 million people in 461 cities from coast to coast. Verizon LTE Advanced hits all the major cities, and covers loads of less-served places including highways, interstates, country roads and rural America. So customers don’t need to stay in one place to get great high speed connections, they can use their mobile devices to actually be mobile and head to the places they work, vacation and want to go.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/7814954-verizon-lte-advanced-network

“Our customers just received a major network enhancement for no additional cost,” said Tami Erwin, head of operations for Verizon’s wireless unit. “Verizon LTE Advanced works like a turbocharger on an engine. Speed boosts kick in when you need it most, with big data use. That’s when you get the big peak boost of Verizon LTE Advanced.”

Verizon LTE Advanced uses software that combines multiple channels to speed mobile data over the network more quickly than ever before. The result is 50% faster peak speeds in cities nationwide for Verizon customers using one of the 39 LTE Advanced-capable phones and tablets already on Verizon’s network – including top-selling Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 smartphones, Moto Droids and Apple iPhones. As new devices from Apple, Samsung, LG and other manufacturers are introduced, they will be LTE Advanced-capable right out of the box.

Customers with a phone or tablet with LTE Advanced capabilities and the most recent software will benefit from these enhancements without effort or additional costs. There are no extra plan costs, no settings to change, no indicators to check.

How it works.

Verizon LTE Advanced uses software to combine two or three bandwidth channels into one larger channel to send data sessions over the most efficient route to completion. This technology is called carrier aggregation and uses a combination of 700 MHz, AWS, and PCS spectrum.

“Verizon LTE Advanced means your data session moves more quickly over the best network,” said Nicki Palmer, Verizon’s chief wireless network engineer. “Imagine a road with multiple lanes in which, once you pick a lane, that’s the lane you drive in. That describes our award-winning 4G LTE network. Continuing the metaphor, Verizon LTE Advanced allows cars to change lanes efficiently and flawlessly, balancing the flow of traffic and getting drivers to their destinations more efficiently. That means blindingly fast data transmissions when you need it most.”

LTE Advanced currently uses a combination of two- and three-carrier aggregation. Customers will continue to enjoy typical download speeds of 5 – 12 Mbps, but two-channel carrier aggregation has shown peak download speeds of up to 225 Mbps, far exceeding the current speeds being experienced by wireless data networks nationwide. While the speeds of two channel carrier aggregation provide a leap forward, three-channel carrier aggregation provides even greater efficiency. Verizon engineers deploying three-channel carrier aggregation have experienced speeds greater than 300 Mbps.

In 2003, Verizon was the first wireless company to launch 3G, bringing it from coast to coast by 2005. In 2010, customers across the country were first to experience the newest mobile technology – 4G LTE. “With Verizon LTE Advanced, we’re bringing the next generation of wireless technology to the market, coast to coast,” said Palmer. “We’re already in 461 markets and we’re already underway deploying three channel carrier aggregation.”

Verizon provides the best customer experience, built on the nation’s most award-winning network. Today’s announcement of Verizon LTE Advanced technology in 461 cities on the Verizon network coast to coast, increasing peak speeds by up to 50% at no additional cost, adds even greater value. Verizon’s network is the most award-winning network for its speed, consistently reliable performance, and hundreds of thousands of square miles more 4G LTE coverage than the next-closest competitor.

Verizon LTE Advanced Marketing Campaign

The Verizon LTE Advanced announcement is supported by a broad mass and social media campaign, including a new television ad that premieres tonight at shortly after 8:30 pm ET across major television networks including ABC, CBS, CWN, FOX and NBC.
