Burger King Corp. Launches DiversityFocused ‘Real People, Real Success’ Marketing Campaign
B
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 first 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 blackand-white portrait – highlights a CubanAmerican businessman who began as a BK restaurant employee and now owns almost 40 Burger King restaurants. Another ad showcases an AfricanAmerican businesswoman who is one of BKC’s largest suppliers. All the ads were designed to honor the diverse workforce
and business partners who have made the Burger King system one of the largest quickservice 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, filled 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 reflect 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.

Burger King Corp. lanza ‘Personas Reales, Éxitos Reales’, una campaña de marketing centrada en la diversidad
B
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
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 reflejar los demográficos 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.

Non-Profits Have the Edge on Reaching the Community ‘Lideres’ Hispanic Program Provides Leadership Skills Training
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 influence in the U.S. more than ever before. One area that can benefit from the collective voices of Hispanics is the non-profit sector where the work of dedicated individuals can impart real improvements to the growing communities and causes they serve.
Building leaders community strong

It takes more than passion and a desire to help for non-profits 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 twophase initiative. The first 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-profits and partner organizations in five cities across the country. Additionally, the second phase will highlight even more influential Hispanic leaders. An important part of the program is the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment tool developed by The Gallup Organization that identifies 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

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 financiamiento, 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 fines 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.

Lauded by awards and critics alike, Chris Rock is one of our generation’s strongest comedic voices. The Brooklyn-raised comedian has garnered three Emmy Awards, three Grammy Awards and has seen his former eponymous talk show become one of HBO’s highest-rated and most talked-about programs. He will bring his No Apologies Tour to Dodge Theatre on Friday, December 28. The show will begin at 7:30pm with a soon to be announced special guest. Rock’s true emergence as a celebrated stand-up talent can be traced to his second HBO special, “Bring The Pain,” which was honored with two Emmy Awards for Best Writing and Outstanding Special in 1997. Rock went on to host the acclaimed “Chris Rock Show,” which began airing on HBO in 1997 and received an Emmy Award for Best Writing in 1999. H i s n e x t H B O stand-up special, “Bigger & Blacker,” taped on the stage of Harlem’s Apollo Theatre, earned three Emmy nominations for Rock, while the CD went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Spoken or Comedy Album. Rock’s most recent HBO special, “Never Scared,” aired in April 2004, was nominated for two Emmys, its CD also earning the Grammy for Best Comedy Album. In 2003, Rock embarked on the Black Ambition Tour that ran in 64 North American cities with over 80 shows through March of 2004. Rock currently serves as both co-creator and narrator of the acclaimed hit television series “Everybody Hates Chris,” on The CW network and co-stars as the voice of Mooseblood the Mosquito in the animated “Bee Movie.” He recently starred in, wrote and directed the film “I Think I Love My Wife.”

Spotlight on
BENNY “THE GODFATHER” ARCE 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 first ever Battle of the DJ’s. The win put us on top of the DJ food chain. I was offered my first radio job on the #1 party station at the time, 1060 KUKQ. Soon, I became the first 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 upcoming 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 find 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! By Erica Ramos-Guevara and Lorraine Waitman Photo by Alonso Murilo

Insider Hair Tips From Consejos para el cabello Behind the Velvet Ropes to de expertos en famosos al Every Latinas Fingertips alcance de todas las latinas Dove hair care celebrity stylist Leonardo Rocco reveals exclusive hair trends and tips 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 five 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 defined 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 finishing 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 finishing 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-thescenes with Leonardo. (HPRW)

Pregunta las Estrellas!
Hola mis estrellitas! Soy tu Chica de las Estrellas. The stars and planets have answers to your questions about love, work, health y su dirección en la vida. Por favor mandame your questions y tu birthday including the Month, Day and Year, your time of birth and the location including the town, state and country. By unlocking the information in your astrological chart, puedo ver the answer! Preguntame! Chavez, un Aries de Phoenix, Arizona me pregunta: How can I tell if I am ready for a loving, healthy intimate relationship? ¡Oye! If you are asking me this, the answer is no. ¡No estás listo! A perfect mate does not just fall into your lap. Now through 2012 let go of the idea of a permanent partner. Place your focus on you right now as your path of destiny makes contact with the sun. The love goddess Venus is out of reach and out of bounds in your natal chart. This challenges your ability to identify what you really want. Focus on self definition and the achievement of your career goals. With patience and in time a mate will come. Debbie, una Pisces de Medford, Massachusetts me pregunta: Is there anything else left to play out with my Scorpio ex-boyfriend? Resist your desire to twine yourself back to your ex. Only allow the slightest bit of communication and nothing more. Life swings and sways in ups and downs echoing the sea-saw configuration of your birth chart. Gemini, the dualistic chatterbox keeps watch on your fifth house of creativity. His dualistic indecisiveness confuses boundaries where lovers are concerned. Take this opportunity to begin to set boundaries. You have choices. Make things happen rather then letting them happen to you. Dan, un Cancer de Kingston, New York me pregunta: I am with a wonderful woman. Will we last forever? Many planetary connections dicen sí! Your stoic Saturn is tickled by your lover’s lucky Jupiter and teased by her seductive Lilith. Your desire and drive flash in the face of your sweetheart with her ascendent conjunct your Mars. Natal Uranus in your sixth house of daily happenings spontaneously reacts with her Mars and Venus promising a constant feeling of newness for the two of you. Your midheavens square each other’s giving everlasting stability to your joining. This relationship is blessed with great Astrology. What becomes of this is up to your free will.

Suerte from the
M ON ¡El valor, el poder y la determinación! The New Moon receives encouragement from Jupiter on January 8 as they share the influence of the determined sea goat Capricorn. Pulling this procession forward is Capricorn’s sure footed ruler Saturn who hovers in opposition in the contemplative sign of Virgo. The pure discernment of Virgo, along with Capricorn’s ability to forge higher than was possible in the past, spurs the recent trends to improve the environment and humanity. We are just beginning to feel the effects of Saturn’s current transit. Stores are greening their product lines, devoting themselves to offering earth-friendly products. Corporations are encouraging their workers to focus on exercise, health and wellness by giving incentives for reduced insurance fees. Restaurants are offering organic and blood type conscious dishes. Municipalities are making it easier to recycle. Harsh chemicals are being replaced by earth friendly alternatives. Finalamente those who possess power are taking action. Mars acts as a sentry declaring an urgent need for this in his current war cry. Tuning into the warrior, we are forced back through our past conversations. We now have an opportunity to set things right.

Take Santana and marry his Latin groove with the soulful funk of James Brown and what do you get? The Latin Funk of Gunzawless. The fresh, original sound of Gunzawless is brought to the Phoneix valley by the Brothers Gonzales who are turning heads with their funky beats. The quintet has established itself as one of the most interesting and, in some ways, one of the most unique performing bands to come out of the southwest in years. Keeping it in the family, the brothers have been independently playing music for a long time. It wasn’t until they formed Gunzawless and brought their individual styles together that they were able to make the music they had been trying to create separately for years. Drawing on their creative and professional musicianship, Gunzawless knows no bounds. Frank the eldest Gonzales brother and architect of the Gunzawless sound plays guitar and handles lead vocals. “Sweet” Pete Gonzales plays the bass guitar and sings. Paul G., the youngest, sings and covers the keyboards. Mike “Cheeba” De La Torre lays down the rhythm on drums and Matt “The SupaVaiza” Vaiza is the percussionist with the afro-beat. http://cdbaby.com/cd/gunzawless http://www.sonicbids.com/Gunzawless http://numberonemusic.com/gunzawless/ http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=38116863 http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=483982 http://www.indie911.com/?cID=25799 http://thephoenix.com/BANDGUIDE/artistprofile2.aspx?id=2719 http://amp.az/home/User/GUNZAWLESS http://www.drinkslingers.com/Latin.html http://www.fuente411.com/Sample-Artists.html

The 37th annual Fiesta Bowl returns to Glendale’s, University of Phoenix Stadium on January 2, 2008. The square-off between Oklahoma and West Virginia kicks off at 5:30 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 figures are: • Tostitos BCS National Championship Game – $171.5 million • Tostitos Fiesta Bowl – $115.8 million • Insight Bowl – $62.2 million • National Band Championship – $7.8 million • Organizational Spending – $44.4 million “This is spectacular news and verifies the importance of the Fiesta Bowl and the Insight Bowl to Arizona,” said Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano. “The economic impact that these games and the Fiesta Bowl festival bring our state is remarkable, but even more important is the hundreds of thousands of visitors and our own citizens who will always carry warm memories of these events in Arizona. Thousands of Arizonans who supported this as volunteers or through their work in the hospitality industry deserve our congratulations for making these events crown jewels of our state’s economic development.” Other civic leaders also noted their appreciation, including: “It is an exciting time in Glendale and our partnership with The Fiesta Bowl organization is an important part of the great things happening,” said Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs. “We are very pleased to learn that the incredible Fiesta Bowl and BCS Championship games played in Glendale produced such a tremendous economic impact for our community, the surrounding metropolitan area and the state of Arizona. We look forward to hosting many more in the future and having them all be just as successful.” “I would sum up Scottsdale’s relationship with the Fiesta Bowl like this: Economic benefit 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 significantly 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 the Arizona State University College of Business. “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 fantastic games,” said Fiesta Bowl Chairman of the Board, Dick Stemple. “They are a rewarding testament to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, participants, sponsors and everyone who contributed to the Festival of College Football.” 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 $10.11 million in state and local taxes. “Supporting and contributing to the economic development of this great state remain two important objectives of our organization,” said John Junker, Fiesta Bowl President and CEO. “The Fiesta Bowl could not be more proud to not only have achieved, but surpassed these goals with the help of the entire community.” According to the study, out-of-state visitors spent $178.8 million for lodging, food, entertainment, and other goods and services while in the Valley of the Sun. An additional $44.4 million was spent by the Fiesta Bowl organization and others associated with the activities. The third element of the overall impact reflects 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 Fiesta Bowl. “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. “They have produced not only great football games but great economic impact for our Valley as well.” The study shows that non-local fans spent an average of $363.70 per day in the Phoenix area for the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game, $297.80 per day for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl per day and $272.50 per day for the Insight Bowl. The largest expenditures were for air fares, hotels, eating and drinking, retail and car rental, and the average length of stay per person across the three bowl games was roughly four nights. The study also indicates that the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game was attended by 76,081, 80% of which were visitors; the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl was attended by 74,216 people, 70% of which were visitors; and the Insight Bowl was attended by 48,391 people, 57% of which were visitors. Of visitors who traveled to the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game, 15% did not have tickets to the event. For the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and Insight Bowl, 1% and 2% respectively did not have tickets to the games. In addition, out-of-state visitors were also surveyed at the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Fiesta Bowl National Band Championship. An estimated 3,200 visitors attended this event and stayed an average of five nights. Expenditures associated with the National Band Championship had an impact of $7.8 million on the local economy. While events such as the Fort McDowell Fiesta Bowl Parade presented by Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and the Insight Fiesta Bowl Block Party were likely to have drawn out-of-state visitors, the economic impact estimate does not include impact numbers for these events as the survey team did not collect data from them. According to the study, this makes the overall estimated impact of visitor spending conservative.
