Ana Lydia Ochoa, officially launched padma media & marketing (PMM)–a full-service consumer, fashion, beauty & entertainment-communications agency dedicated to reaching urban consumers, with a specialized emphasis in creating targeted programs and initiatives for bilingual U.S. Hispanic consumers.

“Padma media & marketing gives its clients strong expertise in reaching the U.S. Hispanic consumer group through our past experience in managing and creating initiatives at award-winning Hispanic agencies,” explains Ana Lydia Ochoa, founder of padma media & marketing. “Our experience is not limited to reaching U.S. Hispanics with Spanish-only communications programs. We also manage music-driven events, print and broadcast product-placements and celebrity-driven initiatives to reach the younger, hipper, and bilingual urban market,” added Ochoa.
