“Acquiring Rumbo’s network of newspapers in Texas expands ImpreMedia’s national footprint to 7 of top 10 Hispanic markets, which allows ImpreMedia to provide advertisers a larger, national platform to present their brand messages while building sales volume locally,” said Erich Linker, Senior Vice President of Sales for ImpreMedia.
