Hispanic Market Pro Launches Weekly Professional Development Webinars For Marketers.

Hispanic PR Wire and HispanicAd.com (Adnotas.com in Puerto Rico) have partnered to introduce Hispanic Market Pro (HMP), a service that provides Hispanic marketers with cost-effective, professional development Webinars led by the industry’s top talents.

HMP leverages the resources, insights and relationships of three leading Hispanic Market industry communications companies. Hispanic Market Pro will present weekly trainings every Thursday on a wide variety of career-building topics guaranteed to appeal to executives across every advertising and PR discipline ranging from media buying to media relations.

“HMP represents a significantly more economical and practical approach to professional development,” said HMP partner and co-founder Manny Ruiz. “Our Webinars will feature our industry’s most respected presenters in an audio conference format that saves marketers money in time, travel, lodging, meals and conference registrations.”

“The timing of what we have to offer has never been more critical,” said HMP partner and co-founder Gene Bryan. “The accelerating growth of our industry means that practical, high level trainings like the ones we offer are needed to update Hispanic marketers about the latest tactics, technologies and insights.”

Thursdays Belong to Hispanic Market University™

All HMP Webinars are part of a virtual training curriculum of 90- and 60-minute Web/audio conferences collectively called Hispanic Market University™ (HMU) and broadcast using the latest technology. HMU curriculum is divided into advertising and PR tracks with occasional overlaps. HUM targets the advertising, marketing, media and public relations communities for both the U.S. Hispanic and Puerto Rico markets.

The first Hispanic Market University course kicks off Thursday, November 15 at 2 p.m. with a top caliber 90 minute program titled “Beyond Reggaeton: Marketing Veterans Reveal What You Must Know to Effectively Reach the Hispanic Youth Market.” HMU programs continue with “The New Digital Frontera: Increasing Hispanic Market Share by Developing the Right Internet Strategy” (Nov. 17); “Latin Star Power: How to Maximize Your Endorsements and Partnerships with Hispanic Celebrities” (Dec. 1) and “Editors Reveal Secrets of Pitching Top U.S. Hispanic and Puerto Rico Women’s Magazines” (Dec. 6). The year ends on a big note with the program “U.S. Hispanic Market Outlook 2006: Advertising and PR Industry Leaders Help You Plan for the Year Ahead” on Dec. 8. For a complete listing of the Webinars and speakers for the remainder of 2005 or to register for one, visit www.HispanicMarketPro.com. Access rates per Webinar or call-in sites range from $215 for marketing professionals to $55 for students and educators.

In order to make HMU a fun tradition, marketing professionals who participate in HMU courses earn credits each time. For example, marketers who are part of at least 10 courses earn HMU certificates and free access to any HMU advertising or PR Webinars.
