AHAA 23rd Semi Annual Conference October 31 - November 2 Crowne Plaza Times Square, New York, New York IS HISPANIC ADVERTISING DEAD? Killer ideas await you! The Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies annual creative and account planning conference will be held over Halloween in New York City! Dust off the cobwebs and celebrate just how alive Hispanic advertising really is! We know that answer to the question “Is Hispanic Advertising Dead?” How can it possibly be dead when more and more clients are calling for member agency expertise, when our creative is winning at festivals near and far, and when the passion for what we do is the envy of so many? Sí, damas y caballeros, estamos más vivos que nunca. But how do we stay that way? Latino agencies are proven change leaders for our clients' brands and we want to keep it that way. Hispanic marketing is not just a 30-second commercial in Spanish anymore – it's so much more. This conference will be a call to action to inspire AHAA agencies to remain on top of their game, driving the industry and continuing to answer the tough questions about how to creatively and effectively communicate our brands' messages beyond the traditional methods. It's about taking marketing out of the comfort zone and coming up with great ideas. Not great ideas for the Hispanic market, but great ideas that happen to be created by a Hispanic agency – in Spanish or not. So if you're not afraid to face your demons….¡Los esperamos en New York!
