music company, announced that it has launched a new initiative to

sell general admission lawn tickets for the 2008 amphitheatre concert season in 263 Costco stores nationwide, extending the company’s ticket distribution channel into the national retail arena for the fi rst time ever. The fi rst program of its kind, the Amphitheatre Concert Pack card, which retails for $39.99 and began selling this past weekend in Costco stores across the United States, includes two general admission lawn tickets to any 2008 concert in Live Nation’s owned and operated amphitheatres, subject to availability. In addition, music fans will get six mp3 downloads from the Live Nation music download page supplied by Puretracks, Inc. “For the fi rst time ever, consumers can give the gift of live music this holiday season and provide their friends and family tickets to some of the greatest concerts

in the world,” said Nathan Hubbard, President of Live Nation Ticketing. “This is an exciting new way for music fans to come see their favorite artists play live, and a great opportunity for Live Nation to

extend the live concert experience to a brand new audience.” Libby Biason, Vice President of National Alliances at Live Nation commented, “Costco should be commended for embracing this innovative approach to selling concert tickets and serving the millions of music fans who pass through their doors every day.” After purchasing or receiving an Amphitheatre Concert Pack card as a gift, consumers simply register as Live Nation ticket club members at www.livenation.com/amppack, and sign up to receive regular email notifi cations when new concerts are scheduled in their local area for the 2008 season. When a show of interest pops up, registered music fans simply enter their PIN code on the back of the card to redeem their two general admission lawn tickets. Music fans will also use this PIN code to download six of their favorite tracks from the Live Nation music download page.

urger King Corp announced it has launched a marketing campaign highlighting its diversity and inclusion initiatives nationwide. The “Real People, Real

Success” campaign shines the spotlight on BKC’s diverse employees, suppliers and franchisees. The fi rst ad from the campaign appeared during the National Council of La Raza’s national conference in Miami (July 21–24), the premier event for Latinos, hosted by the largest Hispanic civil rights advocacy organization in the country. With an initial focus on print ads, the campaign consists of a series of real-life testimonials of Hispanic, African American and Asian franchisees and suppliers. One ad – a stylized black-and-white portrait – highlights a Cuban-American businessman who began as a BK restaurant employee and now owns almost 40 Burger King restaurants. Another ad showcases an African- American businesswoman who is one of BKC’s largest suppliers. All the ads were designed to honor the diverse workforce

B and business partners who have made the Burger King system one of the largest quick-service restaurant franchises in the world. One of the success stories highlighted in the ads is Robespierre St. Juste, a BKC franchisee who rose through the ranks from an assistant manager position to become the owner of 15 Burger King restaurants in San Antonio, Texas. “What started as a temporary job became an amazing and successful journey, fi lled with opportunity for growth and development. For the past 25 years, Burger King restaurants have not only been my real job, they’ve also been my real life,” said St. Juste, a native of Haiti. “BKC is committed to showing its support for a diverse workforce and business partnerships,” said Cirabel Lardizabal Olson, director of inclusion and external affairs, BKC. “One of our biggest strengths is our respect for inclusion, which helps refl ect the demographics of our market today and our customers’ reality.” The marketing and communications initiative was developed for Burger King Corporation by its Diversity and Inclusion agency, República. (HPRW)

Burger King Corp. Launches Diversity-Focused ‘Real People, Real Success’

Marketing Campaign

urger King Corp. anunció el lanzamiento de una campaña de marketing que destaca sus iniciativas de diversidad e

inclusión a nivel nacional. La campaña, titulada “Real People, Real Success” (Personas Reales, Éxitos Reales) pone de relieve la diversidad de los empleados, los proveedores y los titulares de franquicias de BKC. El primer anuncio de la campaña debutó durante la conferencia nacional del Consejo Nacional de La Raza celebrada en Miami (21-24 de julio), el evento principal para los latinos presentado por la mayor organización de defensa de los derechos civiles hispanos del país. La campaña, con su enfoque inicial en anuncios impresos, está compuesta por una serie de testimonios reales de titulares de franquicias y proveedores hispanos, afroamericanos y asiáticos. Uno de los anuncios – un retrato estilizado en blanco y negro – presenta a un empresario cubanoamericano que comenzó su carrera como empleado de un restaurante BK y ahora es propietario de unos 40 restaurantes Burger King. Otro anuncio presenta a una empresaria afroamericana, que es una de los proveedores más grandes de BKC. Todos los anuncios se diseñaron para

B reconocer la diversidad del personal y los socios de negocios que han convertido al sistema Burger King en una de las mayores franquicias de restaurantes de servicio rápido del mundo. Una de las experiencias exitosas destacadas en los anuncios es la de Robespierre St. Juste, un titular de franquicia BKC que empezó su carrera como gerente asistente hasta convertirse en dueño de 15 restaurantes Burger King en San Antonio, Texas. “Lo que comenzó como un trabajo temporal se ha convertido en un increíble y exitoso viaje, lleno de oportunidades de crecimiento y desarrollo. Durante los últimos 25 años, los restaurantes Burger King no sólo han sido mi trabajo real, sino también mi vida real,” dijo St. Juste, originario de Haití. “BKC se dedica a mostrar su apoyo a la diversidad de su personal y sus asociaciones de negocios,” dijo Cirabel Lardizabal Olson, directora de inclusión y asuntos externos de BKC. “Una de nuestras mayores fuerzas es nuestro respeto por la inclusión, que ayuda a refl ejar los demográfi cos de nuestro mercado hoy día y la realidad de nuestros clientes.” La iniciativa de marketing y comunicaciones fue desarrollada para Burger King Corporation por República, su agencia de diversidad e inclusión.

The growth of the Hispanic population in the United States is not only an opportunity for businesses and marketers alike, but it puts Hispanics in the position of wielding infl uence in the U.S. more than ever before. One area that can benefi t from the collective voices of Hispanics is the non-profi t sector where the work of dedicated individuals can impart real improvements to the growing communities and causes they serve.

Building leaders and making our community strong

It takes more than passion and a desire to help for non-profi ts to succeed. Even the most well-intentioned organizations and leaders cannot adequately make a mark without the right resources, which is why Coors Brewing Company has created the Coors Líderes Program, a two-phase initiative. The fi rst phase of the program showcased Hispanic leaders from throughout the United States and highlighted the importance of leadership, biculturalism and bilingualism in the greater Hispanic community. The second phase is the recently launched Coors Líderes Training Workshop, a unique leadership development program being offered to Hispanic non-profi ts and partner organizations in fi ve cities across the country. Additionally, the second phase will highlight even more infl uential Hispanic leaders. An important part of the program is the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment tool developed by The Gallup Organization that identifi es each individual’s talents. Based on each participant’s StrengthsFinder evaluation, a four-hour personalized training program is developed. “Across the country, Hispanic leaders are using the workshop to gain additional knowledge on unique business development strategies, leadership tools, and networking,” says Rafael Fantauzzi, Hispanic Corporate Relations Director for

Coors Brewing Company. “The Líderes campaign is an exceptional opportunity for Coors to facilitate capacity-building for our partnering Hispanic non-profi ts.”

Building partners and partnerships

In addition to talent identifi cation and training, here are some other suggested ways to further non-profi t initiatives:

• The human element: Transform paper relationships into actual ones by attending events and meeting personally with individuals with whom you are doing business or soliciting fi nancial support. Networking also puts you in touch with people you may not have set out to meet, but did anyway.

• Fundraising is important: With so many groups competing for funds and with corporations changing the way they give, you must ensure your budget and fundraising program are thought through so you are working proactively and not reactively.

• Believe in your cause but be business-minded: Non-profi t groups that are staffed and run by people who have a real belief or stake in their cause and who have a good head for business and promotion are among the most successful. That is why it is best to pepper your organization with employees whose strengths target all areas of the operation.

Non-Profits Have the Edge on Reaching the Community

‘Lideres’ Hispanic Program Provides Leadership Skills Training

El crecimiento de la población hispana de los Estados Unidos no solo ofrece una oportunidad tanto a empresas como a expertos en comercialización sino que coloca a los hispanos en posición de ejercer más infl uencia que nunca en este país. Un campo que puede benefi ciarse con las voces colectivas de los hispanos es el sector sin fi nes de lucro, donde el trabajo de personas dedicadas puede impulsar adelantos en las crecientes comunidades a las que prestan servicios y en las causas que defi enden.

Forjando líderes y fortaleciendo nuestra comunidad

Para que las asociaciones sin fi nes de lucro puedan tener éxito, necesitan algo más que pasión y deseo de ayudar. Hasta las organizaciones y líderes mejor intencionados no pueden realizar su labor sin los recursos adecuados. Por esta razón, Coors Brewing Company ha creado el Programa Coors Líderes, una iniciativa en dos fases. En la primera fase del programa se presentó a líderes hispanos en todos los Estados Unidos y se resaltó la importancia del liderazgo, biculturalismo y bilingualismo en la comunidad hispana en general. La segunda fase es el Taller Coors Líderes, de reciente inauguración, un programa único de desarrollo de liderazgo que se ofrece a instituciones hispanas sin fi nes de lucro y asociaciones afi liadas en cinco ciudades a través del país. Además, en la segunda fase se destacará a otros líderes hispanos infl uyentes. Una parte importante del programa es la herramienta de evaluación “Clifton StrengthsFinder,” creada por la Organización Gallup, la cual identifi ca los talentos de cada persona. En base a la evaluación StrengthsFinder de cada participante, se crea un programa personalizado de capacitación de cuatro horas. “Líderes hispanos a través del país están usando el taller para obtener conocimientos a d i c i o n a l e s a c e r c a d e estrategias de desarrollo empresarial, herramientas de liderazgo y establecimiento de contactos,” explica Rafael Fantauzzi, director de relaciones corporativas h i s p a n a s d e C o o r s Brewing Company. “El Taller Coors Líderes es una oportunidad excepcional para

Coors de brindar ayuda de capacitación a organizaciones asociadas hispanas sin fi nes de lucro y a líderes de la comunidad hispana,” concluyó Fantauzzi.

Creando socios y asociaciones

Además de la identifi cación y capacitación de talentos, se sugiere los siguientes medios para promover los programas de las organizaciones sin fi nes de lucro:

• El elemento humano: Convertir las relaciones formalizadas por escrito en relaciones reales, asistiendo a eventos y conociendo personalmente a las personas con quienes se sostienen relaciones, o a quienes se solicita apoyo fi nanciero. Estos contactos le acercarán además a personas a quienes no se tenía en proyecto conocer, pero a las que de todas maneras usted llegó a conocer.

• La recaudación de fondos es importante: Como hay tantos grupos compitiendo por fondos, y tantas corporaciones cambiando su forma de fi nanciamiento, es preciso garantizar que su programa de presupuesto y recaudación esté concebido para el trabajo proactivo, y no pasivo.

• Crea en su causa, pero con mentalidad de negocios: Los grupos sin fi nes de lucro compuestos y administrados por personas que creen realmente en su causa, pero que no pierden de vista el aspecto empresarial y la promoción, están entre los más exitosos. Por tal razón es mejor dotar a su organización con empleados que dominen todas las áreas de la operación.

Homegrown in downtown Phoenix, I began a DJ career at age 15 doing dances open to high school kids at local church halls. I soon went from neighborhood gang leader to an elite party promoter, throwing huge dance parties which always averaged 1500-2000 people.

As rival promoters battled for the party scene, my crew and I were entered and won AZ’s fi rst ever Battle of the DJ’s. The win put us on top of the DJ food chain. I was offered my fi rst radio job on the #1 party station at the time, 1060 KUKQ. Soon, I became the fi rst DJ to mix live on the radio here in Phoenix with the Saturday & Sunday Night KUKQ Party Mix!

My success as DJ and Promoter continued to soar. Several stations later, people knew me as the “Godfather” on 103.9 FM, Arizona’s Party Station. I also took over and promoted the Battle of the DJ Events for 4 more years, helping upcom-ing DJ’s make names for themselves in Phoenix, such as DJ Shy who won the title twice.

Now, I continue to create new memories with my very own live online radio station KRCK RADIO (yes, its pronounced “crack”) at www.krckradio.com. It’s my version of that station I’ve always wanted to work at, that big corporate radio can’t be! We are live 24/7 playing current hip-hop and old school. We give local and non-local artists the chance to get heard with live interviews to spot light their music. I call it KRCK’n The World Wide Web! We also have live mix shows with the valley’s best DJ’s. If you want to fi nd out more, hit me up on the KRCK LINE 623 907-3790 or hit me up at myspace.com/bennyarce. Become a KRCKHEAD & Listen to KRCK RADIO. You will like what you hear!

The looks, fresh off the green carpet at this year’s grand event, the Latin GRAMMYs, are setting the stage for holiday style. Leonardo Rocco, internationally renowned stylist to the stars was backstage at this year’s Latin GRAMMYs styling the tresses of GRAMMY-nominated Mexican singer/actress Belinda. Now, he shares exclusive behind-the-scenes footage on http:/ /www.pasalabelleza.com/dove so Latinas everywhere will get the inside scoop on how to care and style their hair according to this year’s hottest trends. “Belinda wanted a natural and beautiful look for the Latin GRAMMYs,” says Leonardo Rocco. “However, obtaining camera-ready looks throughout the year had taken a toll on Belinda’s hair. To style it for this special occasion I used DoveHair Care products to protect and repair her hair, giving it soft, smooth radiance.” Following are some behind-the-scenes beauty tips to make your holiday hair style a hit: Breathe New Life Into Hair. Weather elements, chemical processes and heat-styling tools can damage hair. Leonardo recommends using Dove Intense Damage Therapy Shampoo, Conditioner and Repairing Treatment to repair severely damaged hair for more body, shine and strength in just fi ve days. Latinas have distinct hair types and the Dove Hair Care product line provides individualized solutions so that they can have the hair they crave.

Top Trends. This year’s Latin GRAMMYs featured some of the season’s hottest hair trends, many of which will be donned for the holidays. Styles included hair parted to the side or down the middle, falling straight or in sleek layers. Several stars wore their hair in either old-Hollywood style waves or with defi ned curls worn loosely down or pinned back. Latinas should turn to these looks as a starting point for ideas, but play with their hair texture to create a distinct look that is true to their real, beautiful hair.

Set and Hold the Look. To achieve any style start with a smoothing product to prevent frizz and keep the hair cuticle smooth. A wide-tooth comb helps to evenly distribute product

throughout hair. Keep hair pins handy to hold stray hairs in place. Jeweled hair pins can serve a dual purpose of holding and decorating hair. Complete any look with fi nishing spray. Fast-drying Aerosol and non-aerosol hairsprays are ideal for increased manageability that lend to a beautiful style, helping hair feel soft and natural. Event-Ready. With many upcoming holiday functions, it is essential to know how to get ready within minutes. On http://www.pasalabelleza.com/dove, Leonardo shares tips that will leave your hair event-ready in only 20 minutes. Leonardo recommends Dove Body and Lift Volumizing Mousse on the roots to pump up the volume and Dove Advanced Care Leave-In Glossing Mist on hair ends for extra shine. To create loose, cascading waves he separates hair into sections and wraps them around the barrel of a curling iron. Lastly, Leonardo completes the look by keeping the waves in place with a fi nishing spray. Latinas can have beautiful hair everyday with Dove. Visit http://www.pasalabelleza.com/dove to request free Dove Hair Care samples and for additional exclusive beauty tips from behind-the-scenes with Leonardo. (HPRW)

Los peinados exhibidos en la alfombra verde del gran evento de este año, los Latin GRAMMYs, establecerán las pautas para los estilos a lucir en las fi estas del fi n de año, y justo ahora, dondequiera que estén, las latinas pueden aprender de los expertos cómo cuidar y peinar su cabello. Visita a Leonardo Rocco en http://www.pasalabelleza.com/dove, donde el estilista de celebridades de renombre internacional comparte consejos expertos de belleza y las últimas tendencias en estilos. Leonardo estuvo tras bastidores en los Latin GRAMMYs de este año, y ahora está compartiendo con las hispanas de todo el mundo los consejos y estilos que usó para peinar a Belinda, la actriz y cantante mejicana nominada al GRAMMY. “Belinda deseaba lucir un aspecto natural y bello para los Latin GRAMMYs,” dice Leonardo. “Sin embargo, estar siempre lista para las cámaras ha dejado su efecto en el cabello de Belinda. Para el peinado de esta ocasión especial, utilicé productos para el cuidado del pelo de Dove a fi n de proteger y reparar su cabello, dejándolo radiante y suave.” A continuación te ofrecemos algunas sugerencias para lograr que tu peinado sea la sensación de esta temporada de fi estas: Dale nueva vida a tu pelo. El clima, los procesos químicos y los aparatos para estilizar con calor pueden maltratar el cabello. Leonardo recomienda usar el champú, acondicionador y tratamiento reparador Intense Damage Therapy de Dove para reparar el cabello severamente maltratado y darle más fuerza, brillo y volumen en solo cinco días. Las hispanas tienen distintos tipos de cabello, y la línea de Dove ofrece soluciones individualizadas para que puedan tener el pelo que desean. Los estilos más populares. En los Latin GRAMMYs de este año se presentaron algunos de los estilos más a la moda, muchos de los cuales también se exhibirán en estas fi estas. Entre ellos se incluían diversos peinados con el pelo partido a un lado o al medio, de pelo lacio o en capas delicadas. Algunas estrellas llevaron su cabello con suaves ondas como

en los años dorados de Hollywood o con rizos defi nidos sueltos o atados detrás. Las hispanas deben ver estos peinados como ideas iniciales y a la vez jugar con la textura de su pelo para crear peinados únicos que realmente refl ejen la belleza de su pelo. Crea y mantén el peinado. Para cualquier peinado que desees, comienza con un producto suavizante para prevenir el encrespado y mantener suave la cutícula del cabello. También es bueno utilizar un peine con dientes anchos para distribuir uniformemente el producto en todo el cabello. Ten a mano pinchos para el pelo que mantengan el pelo suelto en su sitio. Los pinchos con pedrerías pueden servir el doble propósito de mantener en su sitio y adornar el pelo. Completa cualquier peinado con spray fi jador. Los spray en aerosol con secante rápido y los que no tienen aerosol son ideales para mejorar el manejo requerido para un peinado que luce hermoso y a la vez se siente suave y natural. Lista para el evento. Con tantos eventos en esta temporada de fiestas, es esencial aprender a alistarse en unos cuantos minutos. En http://www.pasalabelleza.com/dove, Leonardo comparte consejos que dejarán tu cabello listo para el evento en solo 20 minutos. Leonardo recomienda usar la espuma Body and Lift Volumizing Mousse de Dove en la raíz del cabello a fi n de aumentar el volumen, y el Advanced Care Leave-In Glossing Mist de Dove en las puntas para brillo adicional. Para crear ondas suaves y hermosas, Leonardo separa el pelo en secciones y las envuelve en el cilindro de una plancha para rizos. Por último, Leonardo completa el peinado manteniendo las ondas controladas con un spray de terminación. Las latinas pueden tener un cabello hermoso todos los días con Dove.

The37thannualFiestaBowlreturnstoGlendale’s,UniversityofPhoenixStadiumonJanuary2,2008.Thesquare-offbetweenOklahomaandWestVirginiakicksoffat5:30 pm MST. The event, which has already sold out, will be telecast on FOX 10.

The 2006-07 Fiesta Bowl Festival of College Football generated an overall economic impact of $401.7 million, with the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game alone resulting in a record economic impact of $171.5 million, according to a study by the W. P. Carey Sports Business Program at Arizona State University. Faculty researchers surveyed out-of-state visitors who attended four Fiesta Bowl events: the Insight Bowl, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Fiesta Bowl National Band Championship, the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game. Organizational spending associated with these events also impacted the Arizona economy, resulting in the record economic impact of $401.7 million. Primary contributing factors to the economic impact fi gures are: • Tostitos BCS National Championship Game – $171.5 million• Tostitos Fiesta Bowl – $115.8 million

•InsightBowl–$62.2million• National Band Championship – $7.8 million

• Organizational Spending – $44.4 million

“This is spectacular news and verifi es the importance of the Fiesta Bowl and the Insight Bowl to Arizona,” said Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano. “TheeconomicimpactthatthesegamesandtheFiestaBowlfestivalbringourstateisremarkable,butevenmoreimportantisthehundreds

ofthousandsofvisitorsandourowncitizenswhowillalwayscarrywarmmemoriesoftheseeventsinArizona.ThousandsofArizonanswhosupportedthisasvolunteersorthroughtheirworkinthehospitalityindustrydeserveourcongratulationsformakingtheseevents

Othercivicleadersalsonotedtheirappreciation,including:“ItisanexcitingtimeinGlendaleandourpartnershipwithTheFiestaBowlorganizationisanimportantpartofthegreatthings happening,” said Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs. “We are very pleased to learn that the incredible Fiesta Bowl andBCSChampionshipgamesplayedinGlendaleproducedsuchatremendouseconomicimpactforourcommunity,thesurroundingmetropolitanareaandthestateofArizona.Welookforwardtohostingmanymoreinthefutureandhaving them all be just as successful.”

“I would sum up Scottsdale’s relationship with the Fiesta Bowl like this: Economic benefi t to Scottsdale and the region: enormous,” said Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross. “Value of the fun we have when the fans celebrate in our downtown, our restaurants and our resorts: priceless.”

The combined $401.7 million for the 2006-07 season surpasses the previous best, which was set following the 2002-03 national championship season. It also signifi cantly exceeds the original prediction for the economic impact of the 2006-07 season, which was projected at $315 million back in September of 2006 by theArizonaStateUniversityCollegeofBusiness.

“The record-breaking results of this year’s economic impact study are just the icing on the cake for a tremendous national championship season including three fantasticgames,”saidFiestaBowlChairmanoftheBoard,DickStemple.“Theyarearewardingtestamenttothehardworkanddedicationofourvolunteers,participants,sponsorsandeveryonewhocontributedtotheFestivalofCollegeFootball.”

Researchers from Arizona State University also determined that the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and Insight Bowl: • Generated labor demand equivalent to 3,576 jobs; and•Generated$10.11millioninstateandlocaltaxes.

“Supporting and contributing to the economic development of this great state remain two important objectives of our organization,” said John Junker, Fiesta Bowl PresidentandCEO.“TheFiestaBowlcouldnotbemoreproudtonotonlyhaveachieved,butsurpassedthesegoalswiththehelpoftheentirecommunity.”

Accordingtothestudy,out-of-statevisitorsspent$178.8millionforlodging,food,entertainment,andothergoodsandserviceswhileintheValleyoftheSun.Anadditional $44.4 million was spent by the Fiesta Bowl organization and others associated with the activities. The third element of the overall impact refl ects the collective result visitor spending had on Arizona’s economy for the three bowl games, which amounted to an induced spending number of $349.5 million, the highest ever for the FiestaBowl.

“The positive impact that the Fiesta Bowl has had on our community is nothing short of incredible,” said Ray Artigue, executive director of the ASU Sports Business MBA program.“TheyhaveproducednotonlygreatfootballgamesbutgreateconomicimpactforourValleyaswell.”

The largest expenditures were for air fares, hotels, eating and drinking, retail and car rental, and the
