GM Titanium Continues Partnership With Cain Velasquez

Two-Time and Current MMA Heavyweight Champion Will Continue Serving as Brand Ambassador

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The House of Marnier Lapostolle announces today that it will continue its partnership with mixed martial arts champion Cain Velasquez as brand ambassador for GM Titanium. Velasquez, a two-time and current MMA heavyweight defender, will engage fans through personal appearances at events, one-on-one training sessions, and via social media and the digital space, on behalf of GM Titanium.

Velasquez, the first Latino to win the world heavyweight title in any major combat sport, was enlisted in 2013 to represent GM Titanium, personifying its audacious and ambitious spirit. Now, as he prepares to defend his heavyweight championship this fall and make his on-screen debut in the 2015 film feature ‘Term Life’ starring Vince Vaughn, Velasquez is truly at the top of his professional game, channeling the same philosophy of boldness that GM Titanium was founded upon.

Available in California, Washington D.C., Illinois and Florida, GM Titanium features a bold combination of wild tropical orange essence, Asian Calamansi citrus and a unique five-spice blend, rounded out by exceptionally smooth Cognac. This marque disrupted the spirits landscape when it debuted as a groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind product last year from the House of Marnier Lapostolle, creators of the iconic Grand Marnier brand.

“Last year, we enlisted Cain Velasquez as GM Titanium’s brand ambassador for his embodiment of the game-changing quality of the brand,” says R. Scott Green, SVP of Marketing and Sales for the House of Marnier Lapostolle. “We’re thrilled to have him return in this role this year, especially as he prepares to defend his championship title, representing the Titan spirit more than ever.”

As he departs on his journey to defend his MMA championship title in Mexico City this November, Velasquez will also embark on a multi-city GM Titanium tour through Northern and Southern California to meet and engage with fans.

“Touring with GM Titanium will be such an amazing way for me to connect with my fans throughout the West Coast, and I couldn’t be more excited to partner with them again,” says Cain Velasquez. “As a brand, GM Titanium represents how I approach the ring every time I step in it – proving I’m the best and dominating the competition.”

GM Titanium’s flavor is complex and impactful, but not overwhelming, making it extremely versatile: enjoyable neat, on the rocks or in cocktails ranging from simple to complex. Velasquez’s favorite cocktail combines GM Titanium and pineapple juice with a dash of Angostura bitters.

Discovery En Espanol Revs Up ‘Lunes De Motores’ With Extreme Rig Makeovers

The network launches TEXAS TROCAS, an original production that follows the Mendez family as they manage their successful trucking business

MIAMI, Sept. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Discovery en Espanol kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month with the launch of TEXAS TROCAS, a docu-reality show that introduces the Mendez family, a group of successful and talented Mexican-Americans from San Antonio with an expertise in transforming average rigs to works of art. The show follows the family dynamics and antics as they exceed their customers’ expectations by taking their transformations to unexpected heights. TEXAS TROCAS (#TexasTrocas) is set to air Mondays at 10PM E/P, during the networks’ top rated primetime block “Lunes de motores”, starting September 15^th.

Forty years ago, Raul Mendez Sr., the patriarch of the family, came to the United States from Mexico. He worked the fields of South Texas until he was able to save enough to purchase his own truck. After much sacrifice and effort, he successfully opened his own transportation business alongside his wife, Lupita (“La Mera”). Years later, the new generation of the Mendez family—his sons Raúl Jr. and Rolando—saw an lucrative business opportunity in personalized truck renovations and decided to expand their father’s company. It was then that Texas Chrome was born, today considered to be one of the most-respected companies in Texas, and whose truck designs have won international awards and prestige. What started out merely as a job to support a family is now an empire that continues to grow from generation to generation.

“TEXAS TROCAS brings never-before-seen big rig transformations to our screen, and the story of a hard-working and close knit Mexican family, who achieved their American dream. It is a story that all Latinos can relate to and be proud of,” commented Bilai Joa Silar, Vice President of Content of Discovery en Espanol.

Each episode of TEXAS TROCAS shows the craftsmanship of the Mendez family and their crews as they convert old, rusty trucks into real works of art, while balancing the family dynamics. Rolando, the younger brother, is the creative mind behind the transformations, while Raul is more analytical and focused on the business end. Working together while keeping the peace in the family is no small feat. Differing opinions, client demands, and tight deadlines build tension and drama between the brothers, sometimes causing their wives, Johann and Lorena, and of course Lupita, “La Mera, Mera”, to step in and diffuse a situation.
