Got Frizz? Battling Unruly Hair?

THE JOHN FRIEDA® Hair Care National Survey Reveals You’re Not Alone


NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The JOHN FRIEDA® Hair Care team and Kelton global insights firm surveyed women in 11 cities nationwide to find out which hair styles were most desirable and which hair concerns plagued women the most in each region. After speaking with over 500 respondents, the brand discovered the unique needs and preferences of women in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. And, while women nationwide are united in their belief that they’re under constant pressure to have great looking hair and find it difficult to achieve the style they want, each city revealed a hair style culture and personality all its own.

John Frieda Hair Care National Survey Results
  • In Miami, 88% of women say they’d rather suffer through an uncomfortable or embarrassing experience than a bad hair day, and four in five Philadelphia women agree.
  • New Yorkers are unsurprisingly not a fan of natural and want their hair to look polished and “done,” no matter the style.
  • In Atlanta, 88% of women admit it’s challenging to achieve the hairstyle they crave.
  • Half of the Bostonians would rather forgo makeup than have a bad hair day and 17% would even rather skip deodorant than have a bad hair day.
  • In the Chicago heartland and in Dallas, nearly half of women agree that they’d prefer to skip makeup than deal with a bad hair day.
  • In Houston, more than in other cities, women believe not having the right tools or products is a major factor in not nailing their desired look.
  • For Los Angelinos, the year round home of beach-chic style, beachy waves are the must-have and unlike most of the country, damage is more concerning than frizz.
  • Nearly half of all San Franciscans feel that lack of time contributes to their hair woes, yet ironically the ideal look is low maintenance and natural.
  • And Washington D.C. is the only city where natural, “wake up and go” hair was voted the number one style.       

Armed with intimate knowledge of the needs and wants of women in each region, the Frizz Ease® brand team will be visiting these top cities in the months to come to teach women how to get the looks they desire most with the total Frizz Ease® arsenal. Because whether you seek a natural frizz free look in D.C., beachy waves in L.A., polished and straight in New York, or curly styles in Dallas—no matter which style you covet, the JOHN FRIEDA® Frizz Ease® Collection has a styling product and solution to create any look, just like a salon pro.

CHEST, Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. encourage COPD education among Hispanics during COPD Awareness Month

Clinicians asked to provide Spanish-language COPD materials to their patients


GLENVIEW, Ill., Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In support of National COPD Awareness Month, the CHEST Foundation, the foundation of the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST), with the support from Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc., is committed to raising awareness about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among the Hispanic community. Earlier this year, the Tome Un Respiro Spanish-language COPD awareness campaign was launched to specifically target education among U.S. Hispanics.

The U.S. Hispanic population is now the fastest-growing minority segment in the nation, and it has become increasingly important to educate Hispanics about the risk factors and treatment options associated with COPD. Now the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States, COPD is estimated to affect 24 million people nationwide, half of whom remain undiagnosed. 

During the campaign, CHEST and Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. are encouraging Hispanics to learn more about COPD, and if they are at risk, to get tested. The campaign also encourages clinicians, especially those who work regularly with the Hispanic population, to provide patients with Spanish language resources or direct them to TomeUnRespiro.com.

“Many people who suffer from COPD may visit their doctor regularly but not mention shortness of breath because they think it’s normal,” said Mark J. Rosen, MD, Master FCCP medical director for CHEST. “Raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of COPD is critical to getting patients and providers talking in the exam room — and ultimately to facilitating earlier diagnosis and treatment.”

Studies indicate that one of every four smokers will get COPD. Other risk factors that may increase the chances of getting COPD include:

  • Second-hand smoke
  • Working, or living, in an area polluted by dust or chemicals
  • Previous problems with lung growth and development
  • Frequent respiratory infections

“Among the Hispanic population, we often see these symptoms of COPD mistaken as a normal sign of aging or being out of shape,” said Henry McMillan, Director, Respiratory Marketing for Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. who is the sponsoring organization of the campaign. “That is why in recognition of National COPD Awareness Month, we’ve dedicated ourselves to an ongoing effort of raising awareness among Hispanics and encouraging those who may be at risk to talk to their health care provider.”

iTome Un Respiro is a COPD awareness campaign offering Spanish-language materials, information and resources via the dedicated TomeUnRespiro.com web portal.

About COPD

COPD is a common lung disease characterized by shortness of breath and wheezing. Patients with COPD have trouble pushing used air out of their lungs, making it difficult to take in healthy new air. COPD includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. The most common cause of COPD is cigarette smoking, a behavior clinicians can work to prevent and help patients overcome. Genetic factors and environmental and occupational elements may also cause COPD.

About CHEST

The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) is the global leader in advancing best patient outcomes through innovative chest medicine education, clinical research, and team-based care. Its mission is to champion the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of chest diseases through education, communication, and research. CHEST serves as an essential connection to clinical knowledge and resources for its 18,700 members from around the world who provide patient care in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.

SSI Teams with Univision on New Hispanic Market Research Panel


— Provides Access to an Underrepresented Market —


SHELTON, Conn., Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Univision Communications Inc., the leading media company serving Hispanic America, and SSI, a leader in data solutions and technology for market researchers, today announced a new partnership to better connect market researchers to the 56 million Hispanic Americans living in the United States.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141102/156027LOGO

SSI has built a new digital survey panel with Univision called Que Crees? (What do you think?) to be the premier platform for market researchers to gain broad access to the opinions, beliefs and attitudes of Hispanic Americans.

Hispanic Americans make up more than 17 percent of the U.S. population and spend approximately $1 trillion a year. As one of the fastest growing populations in the U.S., Hispanics represent a major consumer segment that companies need to better understand. 

Univision’s trusted brand and unprecedented consumer reach, combined with SSI’s experience and reputation among researchers, fundamentally changes the market for Hispanic consumer research.

“As the leading media brand among U.S. Hispanics, we are pleased to partner with SSI to introduce the first robust Hispanic offering in this space,” said Rick Alessandri, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Development at Univision Communications. “Hispanics are driving a demographic boom in the U.S. with impact across virtually every sector making it more important than ever to have reliable data to understand this vital consumer group.” 

“Hispanics have been underrepresented in the marketplace, both in terms of advertising spend and market research,” said Chris Fanning, President and CEO of SSI. “The demand for Hispanic research and insights has always been very strong but, until now, researchers have suffered from a lack of broad access to this important community. Univision has tremendous Hispanic reach and is one of the most respected and trusted brands in the U.S. today. We are very excited about this new alliance and the opportunity to provide marketers with much broader and deeper insights into the U.S. Hispanic community,” said Fanning.

SSI takes a unique approach to building and managing panels by operating 62 proprietary panels in 86 sample countries on a single, integrated technology platform worldwide. The Que Crees? panel is built on top of this same technology platform and benefits from the same high quality controls and methodologies of all SSI panels. 

Due to the fact that SSI panels are over 90 percent proprietary, SSI owns the respondent relationship and is constantly optimizing, protecting and growing the panel universe. 

As part of this program, SSI will supply an entire suite of reward options to survey respondents. It developed the panel registration Website and the infrastructure to make the survey-taking experience enjoyable and rewarding. By participating in market research studies, Univision subscribers who sign up through www.quecrees.com will have the opportunity to shape future products and services targeting the Hispanic marketplace. 

Univision Communications Inc. (UCI) is the leading media company serving Hispanic America. The Company, a leading content creator in the U.S., includes Univision Network, one of the top five networks in the U.S. regardless of language and the most-watched Spanish-language broadcast television network in the country reaching approximately 94% of U.S. Hispanic television households; UniMas, a leading Spanish-language broadcast television network reaching approximately 88% of U.S. Hispanic television households; Univision Cable Networks, including Galavision, the country’s leading Spanish-language cable network, as well as Univision tlnovelas, a 24-hour cable network dedicated to novelas, Univision Deportes Network, a 24-hour cable network dedicated to sports, ForoTV, a 24-hour Spanish-language cable network dedicated to news, and an additional suite of cable offerings – De Pelicula, De Pelicula Clasico, Bandamax, Ritmoson and Telehit; Univision Television Group, which owns and/or operates 61 television stations in major U.S. Hispanic markets and Puerto Rico; Univision Radio, the leading Hispanic radio group which owns and/or operates 67 radio stations in 16 of the top 25 U.S. Hispanic markets and Puerto Rico; an Interactive network of online and mobile apps and products including UVideos, the first bilingual digital network serving Hispanic America, Uforia, the leading Hispanic digital music service, Univision.com, the No. 1 most-visited Spanish-language website among U.S. online Hispanics, and Univision Partner Group, a specialized advertising and publisher network. UCI’s assets also include a minority stake in El Rey Network, a 24-hour English-language network founded by maverick filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, and a joint venture with Disney/ABC Television Network for Fusion, a news, pop culture and satire TV and digital network. Headquartered in New York City, UCI has television network operations in Miami and television and radio stations and sales offices in major cities throughout the United States.

Official information is available to our young people


WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In today’s digital age you can do almost everything from a computer or cell phone, whether it’s keeping up with family or buying plane tickets. The same can be said about education, it extends beyond the walls of the classroom.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20141030/155566LOGO

Real Estate Agents Now Pay Clients on New Web Site

Listing Road®, where real estate agents pay you


LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Did you know that every home seller and pre-approved homebuyer is a winning lottery ticket to a real estate agent? A new service called Listing Road allows consumers to post for sale “the right to represent them,” allowing home sellers and buyers to earn thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars by simply hiring an agent they like.

What makes Listing Road unique? First, this free service for home sellers and buyers provides maximum ROI. With the housing market strengthening, it makes sense that if an agent will pay a home seller or buyer thousands of dollars for the right to represent them, consumers should maximize their ROI by taking this money upfront. There is no risk to use Listing Road as a seller or buyer because you are under no obligation to use the agent that purchases the right to represent you.

Second, top real estate agents pay thousands of dollars per month marketing themselves in the hopes of finding more clients. Why should agents roll the dice with their marketing dollars when they have a guaranteed client on Listing Road? Listing Road replaces all of the “maybe” lead generation sites out there trying to separate agents from their money. Most importantly for agents, the price paid to purchase the right to represent a new client has been calculated to provide a healthy profit once the commission is earned.

Finally, Listing Road stands behind its service to home sellers and buyers by allowing them to keep the money the agent pays, even if the agent is unable to sell their home or find a home for the buyer. The company also stands behind the agents by guaranteeing the agent obtains the seller or buyer as a client or the agent’s money is refunded.

Listing Road Beta launched its services on March 2014 in California and is now planning on expanding nationwide on January 1, 2015.

National campaign helps Spanish-speaking taxpayers navigate tax system

The Hispanic Access Foundation and H&R Block partnership will serve Hispanics preparing for their financial future


WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire- HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hispanics, the nation’s fastest growing demographic, have a resource as they look to build long-term financial success for themselves and their families. The Hispanic Access Foundation (HAF), in partnership with H&R Block – the world’s largest consumer tax services provider – is educating and assisting thousands of Spanish-speaking taxpayers across the country.

“The Hispanic community is a powerful, growing force and its emphasis on our tax responsibility will strengthen our families and nation as a whole,” said Maite Arce, president and CEO of Hispanic Access Foundation. “Through education and access to bilingual, professional tax experts, we’re equipping our community with the tools it needs to prepare for the future.”

The campaign “Prepárate Para Un Futuro Mejor” (Prepare Yourself for a Better Future), provides nearly 200 free tax education workshops in 17 markets nationwide. These workshops emphasize the importance of building an accurate tax history, provide insight on how to protect against fraud and misinformation in the tax preparation process, outline how to meet some important health care requirements of the Affordable Care Act and highlight the impact of potential immigration rule changes.

“We’re changing the perception of the Hispanic community – Hispanics take great pride in being solid contributors, whether that’s through paying taxes or work in local communities,” said Arce. “Since the project began in 2010, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people better understand the tax process and its importance.”

The financial contributions of the Hispanic community have grown in pace with its population growth. Hispanic buying power is expected to reach $1.5 trillion in 2015, according to Nielsen. Additionally, the U.S. Census estimates that Hispanic business-owners contribute more than $70 billion to the nation’s economy.

“When it comes to tax education, H&R Block is out in the community and understands the unique set of circumstances that face Hispanics today,” said Pasha Hosseini, multicultural marketing manager for H&R Block. “Through bilingual tax professionals, information in their language, and years of experience, we guide members of the Hispanic community for long-term financial success.”

Since 2010, HAF has held over 900 workshops in more than 800 churches and community spaces nationwide. A complete list of upcoming workshop dates and locations is available at www.pormifuturo.org.
