HAVANA CLUB™ Rum, Distilled in Puerto Rico, Asserts its Heritage with New “Forever Cuban” Campaign

December 15, 2017

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Dec. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — HAVANA CLUB™ rum, distilled in Puerto Rico, has officially announced the launch of its new “Forever Cuban” integrated campaign, which tells the story of the brand’s Cuban heritage and declares that though the brand is no longer produced in Cuba, it is, and will forever be, Cuban.

In advance of the upcoming 59^th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution on January 1, the campaign, created by BBDO New York, launched with a powerful 60-second spot video that features Cuban-American actor Raul Esparza, best-known for his roles on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Hannibal, reciting “Island Body,” a poem written exclusively for the campaign by world-renowned Cuban poet Richard Blanco. Through the poem and the spot, HAVANA CLUB rum speaks to its Cuban roots, establishes its authenticity and boldly tells adversaries “Don’t tell us we’re not Cuban.” Written, produced and directed entirely by Cuban exiles in Miami, and available in both English and Spanish, the film culminates with the tagline “Forced from home. Aged in Exile. Forever Cuban.”

In 1960, the revolutionary Cuban government illegally seized without compensation the Arechabala family businesses, including their HAVANA CLUB distillery, and jailed, then forced the family to flee the country in exile. But, they could not steal the Arechabala’s recipe or strip the family of their soul, which is rooted in the craftsmanship of their product and solidifies their continued family legacy. The family sought refuge in the U.S., where the recipe was personally transcribed by Ramon Arechabala and given to Bacardi as part of an agreement between the two families. As a result, Bacardí has sold HAVANA CLUB rum exclusively in the U.S. since 1995.

“We recently debuted the ‘Forever Cuban’ campaign to reaffirm our place as the true HAVANA CLUB rum. Pernod Ricard, a French company, continues to partner with the Cuban dictatorship to produce rum under a stolen name. That does not make the Pernod Ricard and Cuban government’s rum brand ‘real,’ or ‘authentic,’ it makes it an imposter,” said Ned Duggan, Vice President of Rums for Bacardi. “Bacardi will continue selling HAVANA CLUB rum using the recipe based on the original, which was created by the Arechabalas in 1934 and is part of their family heritage.”

The ultimate convergence of two Cuban families coming together to continue an iconic brand’s legendary heritage with an authentic product, Bacardi is committed to continuing this legacy, having experienced the same oppression and exile from Cuba. Its authenticity is based on the original recipe, great-taste, craftsmanship, technique and passion since the brand was crafted by the Arechabala’s in 1934. The Arechabala family has entrusted Bacardi with their recipe, and the brand’s goal is to carry on this legacy with the same passion and perseverance that the Arechabala and the Bacardi families are known for, having experienced the same hardship and sharing a common goal.

“My father’s family was exiled by the Cuban regime and their factories seized without warning or compensation,” said Paola Arechabala Consuegra, second-generation Arechabala family member. “After expulsion from their country, my family took our rum recipe – the one that has been in our family for nearly 85 years – and sought refuge in the U.S., a place where their original recipe would be safe from imposters and the Cuban regime. Through our agreement with Bacardi, we found a way to maintain our legacy by having our recipe and brand live on.”

HAVANA CLUB rums are premium, aged rums, distilled and finely crafted in Puerto Rico, comprised of HAVANA CLUB Añejo Blanco and HAVANA CLUB Añejo Clásico.

HAVANA CLUB Añejo Clásico and HAVANA CLUB Añejo Blanco are carefully crafted by the brand’s Maestros de Ron to mirror the original processes and liquid style of the Arechabala family from 1934. To maintain the authenticity and originality of the rum in both taste and bottle design, HAVANA CLUB rum, distilled in Puerto Rico, is based on the Arechabala family recipe and archival bottle design. In homage to the 1934 original, HAVANA CLUB Añejo Clásico is a golden liquid with robust notes of sweet fruits akin to pineapple and apricot, complemented by oaky notes with hints of almond and vanilla, and HAVANA CLUB Añejo Blanco boasts sweet notes reminiscent of tropical fruits and florals.

From the small screen to reality, the “Forever Cuban” campaign encourages consumers who share similar stories of exile to reclaim their heritage and recognize that there is nothing anyone can do to take their identity away through a range of advertising and digital channels, including online video and mass and targeted social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.). Out-of-home will run in Florida and New York markets in December. Watch the spot video here.

Entrepreneur Alberto Marzan Positions OTT Play

December 14, 2017

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Founder and CEO of Press Media Group and AfroLife, Alberto Marzan is an innovator set to transform the global streaming and OTT marketplace. Recognized throughout his career as an agent for change and strategic growth, in 2015 Marzan’s passion for impact led him to create a destination where consumers of color can call home. Marzan had a vision: to revolutionize the way content aimed at people of color is licensed, distributed and shared on a global scale. Marzan leads with forward-thinking strategy but is propelled by his passion for culture and connectivity—a fire that was ignited in him as a child.

AfroLife will offer a media destination for consumers of color blending classic, popular, emerging and independent content in early 2018. With the recent success of television shows and movies featuring people color like Hidden Figures, market research showing the strong surge in multicultural consumption of streaming content and the lack of content options specific to this population, the AfroLife platform will include a premium multicultural experience projected to attract strong consumer adoption.

“If you take a holistic view on the OTT space you can see the fragmentation and lack of structure that linear and other verticals in the media space enjoy, we see this and the lack of representation of our community as an opportunity to gain quick traction and create something sustainable. I’m laser focused on building a global corporation not playing entrepreneur; it’s been an interesting journey which I am built for and the company has learned how to be more and more resilient throughout this journey which in hindsight I am forever grateful for. We’ve managed to not only attract strategic relationships with the likes of Google and studios of all sizes but we’re also in the conversation as innovators in the ever changing OTT space,” says Marzan.

“Entrepreneurship at any level poses a number of challenges and it has a way of weeding out those who are not equipped and prepared. In my experience with Alberto, I have seen him navigate this journey while avoiding crippling landmines. I cannot be more enthusiastic about his launch of AfroLife. The industry, our community and the world needs what AfroLife has to offer,” says Dr. David Porter, Executive Director of Walter Kaitz Foundation, Advisory Board Member at Press Media Group and AfroLife.

Cal/OSHA Cites Three Contractors More Than $145,000 for Oakland Structure Collapse

December 14, 2017

OAKLAND, California, Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cal/OSHA has cited three contractors $147,315 for safety violations after investigating the collapse of a temporary mold (formwork) and vertical shoring at an Oakland construction site that sent 13 workers to the hospital.

On May 26, workers at 3039 Broadway, a 435-unit mixed-use project, were pouring concrete into elevated formwork when the shoring system supporting the formwork collapsed. The workers fell some 20 feet along with freshly poured concrete, reinforcing steel, timber framework, and tools and equipment. One worker’s injuries required surgery.

“Significant safety lapses caused injuries that could have been much worse if the workers hadn’t landed in freshly poured concrete,” said Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum. “Employers must identify, evaluate and correct unsafe working conditions and follow all requirements to prevent employee injuries and illnesses.”

Cal/OSHA’s investigation found that the formwork and vertical shoring system that collapsed were not properly designed, installed or inspected. Cal/OSHA issued serious and serious accident-related citations to subcontractors Largo Concrete, Inc. and N.M.N. Construction, Inc. for $73,365 and $70,320, respectively, for failure to ensure that the formwork and vertical shoring were designed to safely withstand all intended loads, failure to have calculations and drawings approved by a California registered civil engineer as required for vertical shoring over 14 feet tall, and failure to ensure the shoring supports were erected on a level and stable base. General citations were issued to general contractor Johnstone Moyer, Inc. for $3,630 in proposed penalties.

Cal/OSHA addresses safety requirements for concrete construction and vertical shoring in its Cal/OSHA Pocket Guide for the Construction Industry.

Cal/OSHA, officially known as the Department of Industrial Relations’ (DIR’s) Division of Occupational Safety and Health, helps protect workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California. Cal/OSHA’s Consultation Services Branch provides free and voluntary assistance to employers to improve their safety and health programs.

Texas luxury home sales volume jumps 19 percent, tops $7.5 billion in 2017

December 14, 2017

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The number of Texas homes sold for $1 million or higher jumped 19.1 percent and topped $7.5 billion in total sales dollar volume in 2017, according to the 2017 Texas Luxury Home Sales Report released today by the Texas Association of Realtors.

Photo – https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/619368/Texas_Association_of_Realtors_Sales_Infographic.jpg

Vicki Fullerton, chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors, commented, “Despite slowing growth trends across the Texas housing market, job market and economy in 2017, Texas luxury home sales volume has continued to grow at a booming pace. Rising home prices, high-end remodeling activity in major metro areas and relocation activity from out-of-state residents all continue to be drivers for Texas home sales of $1 million and higher.”

From October 2016 to November 2017, Texas luxury home sales jumped 19.1 percent to 4,622 sales, making luxury home sales the smallest but fastest-growing segment of the Texas housing market in 2017. During the same time frame, the sales dollar volume of Texas homes sold for $1million and higher was $7,558,278,236, a 19.9 percent increase from the same time frame the year prior.

Despite the surge in sales volume, the median price for Texas luxury homes in the first 10 months of 2017 remained unchanged year-over-year at $1,350,000. The average price per square foot for luxury homes was $349, a 1.9 percent increase from the first 10 months of 2016 and more than doubles the $122 average price per square foot for the median Texas home.

It is typical for luxury homes to spend significantly more time on the market than lower-priced segments of the housing market. From January to October 2017, luxury homes in Texas spent an average of 98 days on the market, an increase of three days from the same time frame in 2016.

“Signs of a softening housing market are historically first seen among luxury price classes, but there’s been no such evidence of a softening market among Texas luxury home sales this year,” concluded Fullerton. “Slowing luxury home price appreciation in Texas, however, could indicate that home price growth among the Texas housing market at large could begin to normalize in 2018, which would help curb growing housing affordability challenges throughout the state.”

Underbanked Lender INSIKT Raises $50 Million

December 14, 2017

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — INSIKT, a white label lender to underbanked families, today announced that it has closed a $50 million Series D funding round led by Grupo Coppel. With 1,450 store locations and 1,000 bank branches, Grupo Coppel has many years of experience providing credit and empowering financial services to millions of previously unbanked families in Mexico and Latin America. Existing investors First Mark Capital, Revolution Ventures and Colchis Capital also participated. The latest round brings the company’s total funding to $100 million, and will enable further growth in existing and new markets.

“We’re founded on the simple – but powerful – idea that businesses can change and improve lives, said David Coppel, Grupo Coppel’s Chief Merchant and Board Member. “Our investment reflects our commitment to empowering underserved communities, and helping provide families with the economic tools to thrive. James and his team are challenging the way the entire credit industry approaches lending – using technology to innovate and address a critical need in disenfranchised communities. We’re proud to join this effort and know that as we continue to invest in people, and offer them opportunities, we will see powerful, life-changing returns.”

Millions of Americans are shut out of mainstream banking, leaving them without options for accessing the financial tools needed to become financially empowered. Nationwide, more than 33.5 million households are under or unbanked and more than 26 million are credit invisible. INSIKT’s mission is to leverage the data and trusted relationships of its partners to make affordable, credit building loans more accessible to millions left behind by traditional banks simply because they lack a credit score. Since late 2014, INSIKT has processed more than 325,000 applicants across a growing partner network of 620 stores and successfully made 125,000 loans to solve the access to capital problem in working class neighborhoods across America. The company is the second founded by Co-Founder James Gutierrez, following the success of Oportun, which provides similar lending opportunities in standalone store front locations.

INSIKT’s partnerships with other companies help to lower the costs of reaching customers through traditional means while also enabling brands to leverage the trust they built up in communities with existing customers. INSIKT’s Lendify system also digests proprietary data provided by its partners to help underwrite borrowers who are deemed unscorable by mainstream banks.

“Four years ago, when I first started INSIKT, I had the dream solving access to capital for all working class communities in America that have been left behind,” said James Gutierrez, Co-Founder and CEO of INSIKT. “Our mission is to help millions establish a good credit score so they can buy a car, afford a new home, and make better financial decisions. Our white label model enables us to scale faster so we can reach millions and at lower cost by leveraging the power of existing stores, brands, and online channels. With this funding round, we’ll be able to expand our reach to over 5,000 stores and take our mission to reach new heights. I’m honored to have the support of Grupo Coppel who have led the way in providing innovative financial and credit products to millions of previously underbanked families in Latin America.”

Mario Trujillo, the chairman and chief executive of INSIKT’s first partner, DolEx Dollar Express, said his business began with family remittances – money sent overseas – and became a financial supermarket for underserved Hispanics. “But we couldn’t meet one huge need – affordable, credit-building loans for folks who work long hours, often at multiple jobs, but often have no credit history,” Trujillo said. “Years ago, when I met James Gutierrez and learned how his technology could offer responsible loans to this market, I told him he could create a breakthrough by having DolEx and other companies offer his loans as a service to their customers,” Trujillo said. “This investment by Coppel will ensure that INSIKT’s growth will continue, helping our coalition build financial strength among these deserving but often ignored workers.”

Already in more than 620 locations across 30 partners in California, Texas, and Illinois, INSIKT also began operating in Arizona last month. INSIKT’s capability of utilizing digital tools to help companies provide new credit services is unmatched in the industry and has yielded remarkable results. Since first launching in late 2014, more than 325,000 applications have been processed and more than 125,000 loans provided to underserved individuals in need of credit.
