Original Light Beer Returns To Original Look On All Fronts
CHICAGO, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As the saying goes, there's a first for everything; and thank goodness for that. Back in 1975, Miller Lite revolutionized the entire beer category, becoming the first successful low-calorie beer and creating what has become America's largest beer segment: light beer. Today, that category accounts for more than 35 percent of all U.S. beer sales.

This fall, Miller Lite is returning to that similar original look on all packaging and across all marketing materials as part of its effort to remind beer drinkers that it is the only brand brewed to be a great tasting beer that just so happens to also be less filling.
"The decision to bring back our original look was an important one for this brand," said Miller Lite senior marketing director Ryan Reis. "It's authentic, proud and highlights what has always been true about Miller Lite since it was first brewed. It's a high-quality beer worthy of those moments with friends."
Early advertising from the brand told people Miller Lite was "everything you wanted in a beer, and less," and that
promise remains alive and well today. Miller Lite has won seven medals at the annual Great American Beer Festival and biennial World Beer Cup competitions, including five gold medals.*
The words 'A Fine Pilsner Beer' are prominently displayed, as that is the simple end goal of each batch of Miller Lite, which uses a unique brewing process to attain its crisp pilsner flavor and aroma. Designed to give Miller Lite more real beer taste, hops are added at three distinct times throughout brewing.
To celebrate what sets Miller Lite apart from other light beers, the brand re-introduced the Original Lite Can in January for what was supposed to be a two-month promotional window. Consumer response to the brand's authenticity and great story was so positive that the brand kept the Original Lite Can in market and changed the bottle in August.
"What we learned
through this process was that our history means something special to consumers," said Reis. "We're immensely proud of what Miller Lite stands for and the new direction reminds people of not only where we came from, but where we're going as a brand."
Helping to tell that story are changes on all packaging formats across the portfolio. From 12-packs to aluminum pints, consumers will now find the original light beer inside new white-and-navy secondary packaging featuring an emphasis on the brand's new logo, bolder cues of barley and hops, and language that defines the brand's special brewing process. It reinforces the purpose behind the beer, to have great taste, color and aroma in a pilsner beer, with only 96 calories.
Changes will go far beyond just packaging. The original look will make its way into bars across the country, not only courtesy of
new delivery trucks donning the new look, but via American-made wooden tap handles, new "Lite On Tap" neons and other point-of-sale materials.
The timeless Miller Lite design also will be prevalent throughout popular Miller Lite sports alliances, including AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and Soldier Field in Chicago.
Furthermore, Brad Keselowski, the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup champ, is bringing the new look to victory lane as he and his team push for another championship in the 2014 Chase.

College Camp Helps Parents and Students, Nationwide, Prepare, Plan, and Pay for College
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), in a continuing joint effort with Groundbreaking Partner Wells Fargo, today announced that it will commence a second year of its College Camp program on the basis of a successful inaugural year.
Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140925/148457
The College Camp series offers free, bilingual workshops designed to help students and their parents prepare, plan and pay for college. Following the series kickoff in Chicago, additional College Camp workshops will be held through 2015, in Miami, Phoenix, Houston, Los Angeles, and Dallas.
“Last year’s College Camp, which received top reviews from students and parents, was a resounding success, and we are very excited to launch this year’s series with even more interactive sessions, presentations by top subject matter experts, and a tremendous slate of motivational speakers,” said Fidel A. Vargas, President & CEO, Hispanic Scholarship Fund. “Everyone who attends will come away with some useful information about the college track, from vital information about academic requirements, applications, and financial aid to insights about campus life.”
The College Camp Series is an integral part of the broader Wells Fargo and HSF Groundbreaking Partnership, which includes the banking services company’s $8.1 million, three-year commitment to HSF to help middle school, high school, and college students achieve academic success.
“Our partnership with HSF gives us the opportunity to help Hispanic students reach their dreams by supporting them as they work toward their college degree,” said Tim Hanlon, President of Wells Fargo Foundation and Executive Vice President of Wells Fargo. “Wells Fargo is committed to programs like the College Camp Series that make it possible for young people to reach their educational goals.”
Led by college representatives, community leaders, and various business professionals, the College Camp workshops provide guidance on a full range of topics of interest to college-bound students and their families, and they provide a variety of opportunities for attendees to get their questions answered by experts. HSF reports that this year’s speakers will include comedian and rocket scientist Shayla Rivera; professional empowerment speaker Raul Magdaleno; and former NASA Astronaut Dr. Danny Olivas. HSF also indicates that the program has been revitalized with materials prepared by college admissions professionals to provide an insider’s view for students on how best to prepare for college.
“The sessions were very informative,” said parent John Alvarado about the College Camp Session he attended last year. “I left feeling I knew much more about the whole college process than I did walking in,” he said. “Students left with key takeaways they could immediately apply while in high school,” said Alba Rodriguez, a student from Skyline High School in Oakland, California. “These presentations motivated me much more to join clubs at school and to try to be more successful when applying for colleges and universities,” said Rodriguez.

Aeromexico Celebrates 80 Years as Mexico’s Flagship Carrier
— During this time, the airline has been committed to consistently providing world-class service to its customers with one of the world’s most modern fleets.
— The company is especially grateful to its passengers for their
preference and loyalty over the last 80 years.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Aeromexico is celebrating its 80th anniversary as Mexico’s flagship carrier and thanks its passengers, vendors, commercial partners, airport groups, trade unions and employees, who have placed their trust in the company over eight decades to position the brand as Mexico’s leading airline.
Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130315/MX77534LOGO
Since its beginnings in 1934, when Aeromexico (formerly Aeronaves de Mexico) flew its maiden flight between Mexico City and Acapulco, the carrier has been committed to providing the best services and maintaining continuous quality improvement processes to benefit its customers.
Over the past 80 years, Aeromexico has operated the best fleet with emblematic jet airliners, such as Bristol Britannia, Douglas DC, Constellation, McDonnell Douglas MD, Embraer and Boeing, to name a few. Currently, in keeping with tradition since its creation, Aeromexico has one of the world’s most modern fleets with an average age of 8.8 years, and is proud to operate the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, hailed as the airplane that revolutionized the aviation industry.
The carrier has obtained many achievements and rewards along the way. For half a century, the airline was the carrier of choice selected by the Presidents of Mexico; it carried Pope John Paul II on his first trip to Mexico, and was the first Mexican airline to fly to New York, Madrid, Sao Paulo and Tokyo. It was also the first to offer an all-inclusive travel package program, known as Gran Plan, the first to implement a passenger loyalty program in Latin America, known as Club Premier, the first in Latin America to be a founding member of a global airline alliance —SkyTeam—, and the first Mexican airline in which a global carrier, Delta Air Lines, buys equity.
Aeromexico has always been known for its unrelenting pursuit of cutting edge technology. As such, it will soon become the first airline in Latin America to provide inflight Wi-Fi through a partnership with Panasonic and Gogo.
Aeromexico has also become the Mexican airline carrying the highest customer traffic volume in the domestic market and the leader in the international segment, as it serves 44 destinations in Mexico and 35 internationally, and carried more than 11.5 million passengers between January and August 2014.
As part of the carrier’s celebration, Aeromexico CEO Andres Conesa published a special appreciation statement, noting that “The experience and career paths of all our employees bear testimony to the fact that Aeromexico is in the hands of the most valuable people in Mexican aviation. The value of our human capital is the basis of our prestige, and our customers are the reason for our existence.”
To those that have chosen Aeromexico as their carrier of choice over the years and to those flying with the airline for the very first time, the carrier expresses its gratitude and reiterates its commitment to being the best airline, uniting all Mexicans and Mexico with the world.
