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.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/players/Spanish/7308351-discovery-en-espanol-new-texas-trocas-on-lunes-de-motores-for-hispanic-heritage-month/

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.

AHAA Leads Marketing Coalition In Defining Total Market

September 2, 2014

FAIRFAX, Va., Sept. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Multicultural populations are driving 84 percent of the population growth, fueling 81 percent of U.S. job growth and accounting for 43 percent of buying power in top 10 markets – with statistics like these, marketing practices are evolving and, until now, have been lumped into the umbrella term “Total Market.[1]” For the last year, AHAA: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing, in collaboration with the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), and the Asian American Advertising Federation (3AF) assembled a broad coalition of clients, agencies and associations to define an integrated strategy for driving growth. Together, this coalition studied various models to develop the following industry-sanctioned Total Market definition:

A marketing approach followed by corporations with their trusted internal and external partners which proactively integrates diverse segment considerations. This is done from inception through the entire strategic process and execution, with the goal of enhancing value and growth effectiveness. In marketing communications, this could lead to either one fully integrated cross-cultural approach, individual segment approaches, or both in many cases, but always aligned under one overarching strategy.

“Our consensus is that a Total Market Approach (TMA) must feature a carefully crafted cross-cultural message, based on a universal truth relevant to the main segments of brand growth,” clarified AHAA Research Chair/Santiago Solutions Group Chief Strategist, Carlos Santiago. “To optimize effective growth, however, marketers also need dedicated segment strategies that create relevance and address distinct belief systems and triggers.“

“Total Market is a growth strategy that should be considered by just about every marketer,” said Bill Duggan, Group Executive Vice President, ANA. “However, great care must be taken in terms of both strategy and execution as total market is equally simple and complex.”

“We are pleased to join AHAA and the ANA in providing an industry definition of Total Market. This is a critical step in helping marketers define and use TMA as a process to create smart and effective communications,” said Edward Chang, 3AF President.

Total Market is neither a “one size fits all” cost reduction plan nor a short-term test of project, according to the coalition. Total Market is marketing at its best, grounded in extensive consumer research and seamlessly implemented by a team of experts. Three models of implementation were identified:

The client leads and includes all agencies simultaneously
A selected agency leads a multi-agency team
One agency responsible for “general market” and segment work

In each model, the business problem is tackled by both the general market and multicultural experts, identifying the main source of growth for the brand and ensuring the brand DNA pervades throughout all marketing platforms. Then, the teams develop an overarching campaign, coupled with individual segment approaches that address cultural nuances and barriers. This multi-strategic approach should complement each other fluidly, capitalizing on efficiency without sacrificing effectiveness.

“As Millennials come of age, we are at a critical juncture in the Total Market process,” said ANA Multicultural & Diversity Committee Chair/Davila Multicultural Insights President & CEO, Gilbert Davila. “This joint effort with AHAA provides clarity and direction to ensure that brands correctly implement Total Market to achieve results.”

The coalition received extensive input on the definition from The Kellogg Company, The Clorox Company, Kimberly-Clark, Dunkin Brands and leaders from top general market, Hispanic, African American and Asian agencies including, Acento, Alma, Burrell, FCB, IW Group, GlobalHue, Lopez Negrete and Sensis.

On September 24 at 2:00pm (ET), AHAA will host a webinar, Will the Real Total Market Please Stand Up? And, this November, at the ANA Multicultural Marketing & Diversity Conference in Miami, AHAA will reveal the results of the first study looking at how Hispanic ROI measurements and modeling are evolving to properly establish the impact and value of this segment within a Total Market approach. For more information or to sign up for upcoming Total Market webinars, please visit http://ahaa.org. To get involved in the Total Market discussion, please email [email protected].

About AHAA:
Founded in 1996, AHAA: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing is the national trade organization of all marketing, communications and media firms with trusted Hispanic expertise.

About ANA:
The Association of National Advertisers provides leadership that advances marketing excellence and shapes the future of the industry. Founded in 1910, ANA’s membership includes more than 600 companies with 10,000 brands that collectively spend over $250 billion in marketing and advertising.

About 3AF:
The Asian American Advertising Federation (3AF) is a national trade organization of Asian American advertising agencies, Asian market advertisers, Asian media companies and other industry specialists. Its mission is to grow the Asian American advertising and marketing industry, raise public awareness of the importance of the Asian American community and further professionalism in the industry.

About Maroon 5
Capturing their first of three Grammy Awards as “Best New Artist” of 2005 and going on to sell more than 17 million albums worldwide, Maroon 5’s releases have gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries. The band won over fans and critics alike with the hybrid rock/R&B sound they introduced on their debut album, Songs About Jane and their double platinum album, It Won’t be Soon Before Long, which included hits like “Makes Me Wonder” and “If I Never See your Face Again.” In 2010, the band released their third studio album, Hands All Over, which featured the group’s anthemic chart-topping smash single “Moves Like Jagger.” The song has since gone on to become one of the best-selling singles of all time. Maroon 5’s most recent album Overexposed quickly reinforced the group’s status as a powerhouse in popular music with all of its singles rising to the top of the charts and setting an all time record for the most #1s (six in total) by a group in the Top 40 chart’s 20-year history. In conjunction with the album, Maroon 5 wrapped one of the highest grossing tours of 2013 with over 50 million dollars in ticket sales.

MIAMI, Aug. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, St. Thomas University President Monsignor Franklyn M. Casale announced a major institutional appointment that will continue to strengthen the University’s academic leadership position (www.stu.edu). A visionary and transformational leader in higher education, Irma Becerra-Fernandez, Ph.D., has been named St. Thomas University’s new Provost.

She is an internationally recognized expert in the fields of knowledge management, business intelligence, entrepreneurship, and disaster management, and is known and respected as a “creative innovator” in the design of programs. “St. Thomas University is gaining a star in Dr. Irma Becerra-Fernandez,” said FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg. “The partnerships she has created and nurtured at FIU have advanced our mission as a solutions center for our community and I’m sure she will bring the same energy, commitment and intellectual rigor to the office of the provost at St. Thomas University.”
