Ceremony Marks Start of CITGO Aruba Activities

October 7, 2016

SAN NICOLAS, Aruba, Oct. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Authorities from the governments of Aruba and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and officials from Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), CITGO Petroleum Corporation and CITGO Aruba, gathered at the main gate of the island’s refinery today for a kick-off ceremony marking the start of the CITGO Aruba activities that will reactivate operations at the 209,000 B/D refinery which has been idled since 2012.

In attendance at the event were the Aruban Minister of Economy, Communication, Energy and Environment, Mike de Meza; the Vice-President of Refining, Commerce and Supply of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), Jesus Luongo; and the President and CEO of CITGO Petroleum Corporation, Nelson P. Martínez.

As of today, the plant, now owned by the Aruban government, will be operated by CITGO Aruba. Today’s ceremony included the unveiling of the facility’s new logo.

“Today’s inauguration is the culmination of extensive work by dedicated professionals from CITGO, PDVSA, and the Aruban government,” said CITGO President and CEO, Nelson P. Martínez. “The team was guided by principles of solidarity and complementarity, to create a dynamic project that would provide improved socio-economic value for all parties involved.”

The refinery will undergo a refurbishing process and it is expected to be fully operational in the next 18 months to two years. Once the refurbishing process has concluded, the facility will process extra-heavy crude from the Orinoco Oil Belt, transforming it into intermediate crude, which in turn will be sent on to the CITGO refining network in the United States for further processing. At the same time, naphtha will be sold to PDVSA for use as diluent for its extra-heavy crude.

“Beyond the benefits that this project will provide for CITGO and PDVSA, we believe that re-opening this facility will positively impact the island of Aruba, as a catalyst for economic development and will further strengthen the region,” said Martínez.

In addition to the impact of salaries and wages from local employment, Martínez explained that this project will generate increased procurement for services and materials from local providers as well as increased tourism.

“By following the principles of corporate social responsibility together we can create meaningful opportunities for regional business, governments and nonprofit entities, and most importantly, for our communities,” he concluded.

CITGO, based in Houston, is a refiner, transporter and marketer of transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and other industrial products. The company is owned by CITGO Holding, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — New Avon LLC (“Avon“), the social selling company that has empowered women for over a century, announced the launch of a bold new advertising campaign – “This is Boss Life” – which celebrates the flexibility, freedom and financial opportunity of becoming an Avon Representative. Designed to drive Representative recruitment and ignite passion for the Avon brand, “This is Boss Life” will run on national broadcast, digital, print and radio media in the U.S. beginning in October.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/7943151-avon-this-is-boss-life-campaign

“As an iconic American brand with a 130 year history of empowering women, we arguably have inspired more female entrepreneurs than any other company in history. Every Avon Representative has a unique story of how they are finding success as their own boss,” said Scott White, Chief Executive Officer, New Avon LLC. “We have the right tools and support to help them build a successful social selling beauty business. The ‘This is Boss Life’ campaign spotlights that there is nothing more beautiful than succeeding on your own terms.”

The television campaign encourages audiences to take a step beyond their typical 9-to-5 work life and say hello to a new kind of life where they are the boss. The campaign heroine is a passionate woman, stuck in a passionless job – until she discovers a brand new life as an Avon Representative. The music video-style commercial is set to the energetic, well-known female anthem, “I Will Survive.” The re-imagined lyrics include such affirmative statements as “I should have done this years ago/I should have broken free/If I’d known for just one second I could be the boss of me” and “Oh as long as I’ve got Avon and the newest shade of gloss/I’ve got passion, can’t you see?/’Cause my future’s up to me/Yeah, I’m a Boss.”

In the print advertising, Avon Representatives are at the center of the campaign to inspire new recruits through their real-life stories of success. The ads feature:

The Millennial: Georgiana joined Avon over ten years ago when she started college. Over the last decade, she has paid off her college loans with the help of earnings from her Avon business. In the ads, she says, “Now I’m a full-time architectural designer, part-time Beauty Boss.”
The Momtrepreneur: For Avon Representative Lydia, mother of two girls, every day can be take-your-daughters-to-work-day. Lydia says, “Now my girls say they want to be ‘Boss’ when they grow up.” Lydia has found success without having to sacrifice time with family.
The Power Couple: Milagros and Carlos built a family business together, and say working together as Avon Representatives has made their business and marriage twice as strong. They say, “Avon introduced us to the best bosses we’ve ever had – ourselves.”

The campaign was created in partnership with female-owned advertising agency TERRI & SANDY. “Avon has been enabling women to gain financial security since 1886, 34 years before women had won the right to vote,” said Terri Meyer, Co-Founder. “We wanted to leverage what’s already in the brand’s DNA – strong, confident, and successful female entrepreneurs, and showcase the flexible earnings opportunity that Avon makes possible.” Horizon Media led the media planning and buying.

Avon’s new campaign debuted to thousands of Representatives across the U.S. in a Facebook event hosted by President, Social Selling for New Avon LLC, Betty Palm on October 6. The :60 second digital, and :30 broadcast and radio ads began airing on October 7, and print ads will be seen in November and December issues of women’s magazines. Avon’s social and digital channels will be extending the “This is Boss Life” campaign message with custom social media filters, YouTube videos and more.

Remitly Cumpliendo Promesas (Promises Delivered).

SEATTLE, Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Remitly, the largest independent mobile remittance company in the United States, celebrated its first-year milestone in Mexico and announced it is expanding its mobile instant money transfer service to seven countries throughout Central and South America.

Remitly is improving the way immigrants send money to families and communities back home. For decades, those living in the United States had to endure long wait times and high fees at traditional money transfer agents. The rise of smart phones has enabled Remitly to change the landscape dramatically by offering an easy-to-use mobile app that provides a less costly, convenient and safe way to send money instantly through its global transaction network of over 31,000 bank and retail partners.

“When people working and living in the United States send money to their loved ones, it lifts people up the economic ladder to achieve a better life,” said Remitly CEO Matt Oppenheimer. “The stories we hear of overwhelming generosity are incredibly inspiring. We are proud to help our customers keep more of their hard-earned money by offering a product that is less expensive, more transparent and faster.”

Remitly estimates its mobile app helped send hundreds of millions of pesos last year to customers’ loved ones in Mexico, saving them almost half-a-million dollars in in fees in the process. The company has built an extensive network of over 12,000 major banks and retail partners in Mexico to facilitate cash pickup or direct deposits into bank accounts.

Customer success in Mexico made further Latin America expansion a natural next step. The new countries Remitly now serves are Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua in Central America, along with Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru in South America – where over $17 billion in annual remittance volume is sent from the U.S., a significant contributor to the regional economy.

For those across Latin America receiving a money transfer through Remitly, the company has a regional network of more than 8,000 bank and retail partners for cash pickup and direct deposits, and a customer service center in Nicaragua.
