New Generation Latinos have been central to my personal and professional life for over 20 years. In 2001 I created one of the first Latino social networking communities, iCaramba.com. I continued my work in the space over the next 5 years launching LatCom Communications and growing it into a leading 360 media and entertainment company helping Fortune 500’s reach New Generation Latinos through live events, magazines, digital and original content. In 2006, I sold LatCom to Batanga Media (now VIX). Concurrently, I founded and chaired the New Generation Latino Consortium, an organization dedicated to hosting business conferences (including the first ever TEDx Latino event) and fielding innovative research studies focused on the NGL audience. Being the father of two New Generation Latino sons has only deepened my connection to NGL's mission of refreshing the narrative in the Latino media and entertainment space, while shining a positive light on our community.

I've been an entrepreneur for the last 15 years, the last 7 of which I've spent working in the U.S. Hispanic market. I've always had a passion for working with media outlets that leverage innovative approaches and technology to create platforms that help to elevate the voice of under-represented communities. The Hispanic market is a complex market consisting of so many different stories that deserve to be told. At NGL Collective we pride ourselves in helping to weave advertising partners into the telling of those stories in authentic ways that celebrate this multi-faceted market. It's important to acknowledge the ways in which the Hispanic experience in the U.S. is a diverse one, and that for brands to reach this audience effectively, they cannot look for a one-size-fits-all approach. This is why it’s important that a company like NGL Collective exists. We help brands develop a multi-pronged marketing strategy that navigates the nuances of the Hispanic market and reaches their target audience effectively in all the places and all the ways they are consuming video.

I've spent more than 15 years as a director and producer in the U.S. Hispanic, urban, and youth markets. As an award-winning documentary filmmaker, music video veteran, and episodic TV director, I've been at the helm of 100+ hours of content, including television shows, commercial work, and digital content. My content on YouTube alone has reached over 750 million views. Working in Hispanic media allows me to bring my own cultural experiences and nuances to content that I love to create. For me, each new project represents an exciting challenge on how to reach the Latino market in a more effective and innovative way. Today’s consumers and viewers are savvier and more diverse than ever. NGL Collective has made it our mission to never stop innovating—by creating content and media solutions that resonate with audiences everywhere. Our team's passion, sensibility, and experience has prepared us well for the latest evolution in Hispanic and multicultural media. We live and breathe the New Generation Latino experience.

I am a 20+ year media industry veteran who has led sales teams at top Hispanic media companies, most recently NBC Universal. I consider myself a thought leader and entrepreneur who has spent much of my time establishing the value and definition of the U.S. Hispanic bicultural and modern Latino audience, including the launch of Mun2, one of the first English language TV networks for this audience. NGL Collective plays an important part in providing access to the Hispanic marketplace in ways that the traditional media companies don’t. NGL’s approach to the market is unique in that we use many outlets to reach the fragmented Latinx market, instead of fighting upstream to draw those millions to one particular digital location. And when we add our targeting and data capabilities, advertisers hit the mark with very little waste. Contact Phone: 917-749-7514 Email: jbernard@nglmedia.com

I've worked in the Hispanic Digital Advertising Industry for more than 18 years, holding executive positions at several top Corporations including Telefonica, Microsoft Digital Advertising/ Ybrant Digital and Grupo Clarin / Medula. Over this timeframe I've been able to develop a unique profile, combining deep knowledge of both the Latam and U.S. Hispanic Market, working with both publishers and advertisers to develop high level strategy. The diversity of ethnicities within the Hispanic market makes it challenging to reach this population in the right environment and using the right tactics. I've always welcomed this challenge and feel that I can add a lot of value in finding the right approach for publishers and brands to take advantage of this $3B opportunity. I'm excited to be a part of NGL Collective, a top player in the U.S. Hispanic market with a diverse offering that really focuses on creating value by developing specific solutions for each client. NGL has a clear long term vision for how we want to be positioned in the market, and a talented team to get there in the future. I'm excited about continuing my career at NGL, learning from so many talented people and adding my own value from past experience to help take the organization to the next level.

I started off my career working at Mindshare as an Assistant Media Buyer and working my way up the ranks to become an Associate Media Director working on several accounts during my tenure at the agency. After spending 10 years working on the agency side of the business, I then made the move to work in a sales capacity as an Account Executive at BET Networks for 3 years and most recently working at Univision as a Multiplatform Account Executive selling cross-channel marketing opportunities in linear, digital, social and integrated media programs.

NGL Collective provides an opportunity to evolve within the industry with the ability to capture a highly desired audience segment in the young U.S. Hispanic population. With the LatinX audience growing within the U.S. it is critical for advertisers to tap into NGL’s offerings in the Hispanic marketplace to reach a fragmented audience rather than relying on traditional media companies. NGL’s refreshed and modern approach to reaching Latinos through data and targeting capabilities has put us in the forefront of effectively communicating to our target audience in all places they consume video across multiple platforms.

I have been in the media world for over 15 years getting my start on the agency side in Chicago working across major brands in multiple verticals.

I have over 20 years experience in media, 8 of which have been with leading Hispanic publishers. I consider myself a thought leader on issues related to digital and social media. The world of Hispanic media is enjoyable to me as it provides a close knit advertising community and less cluttered space than the general market. No other Hispanic media company can offer the range of solutions in the way we do – from custom video with multiple distribution points to programmatic media on digital and TV. We have solutions for any brand looking to target this multifaceted demographic. It feels good to be a part of NGL Collective, a place that is committed to representing a diverse group of Latinos here in the US.

I've worked for more than 15 years creating Latino content for numerous brands, helping them to connect with the community. I enjoy working in Hispanic media because it represents who I am. My work with NGL Collective and the stories we tell represent many of my dreams, my stories and my experience as a Latino living in the U.S. It's important to project what it means to be a Latino, to represent our culture and our voice. Although we share a language, we Latinos come from different countries, backgrounds, beliefs and traditions. Because of this, many companies struggle with how to connect with Latinos living in the U.S.A. NGL Collective understands the diversity of New Generation Latinos and specializes in finding ways to reach them. Contact Email: edgarandrade@me.com

I've had the pleasure of working in the Hispanic digital media industry for over 10 years. I started at Univision where I worked on the digital team focusing on helping to build out the programmatic offering as a media strategist. From there I moved over to Medula networks where I ran programmatic sales for 5 years. As a Mexican American I feel especially passionate about evangelizing the Hispanic consumer to advertisers. It is important to me that advertisers recognize the value of our market and us as consumers. There is no better way to connect with Latinos then through video, and NGL is the perfect partner to help do so as the leader in the U.S. Hispanic video space. This is why I'm so happy to be part of the NGL family.

I've worked in the Hispanic market for close to 10 years. For the last 5 I have worked with Grupo Clarin and Medula network, where I was Head of Media Buying. Over the years I've built some important relationships working in the Hispanic Market where I've been able to connect with others who share my passion for moving the industry forward. As the Hispanic market continues to grow, it is important that those of us working in the market serve as communicators, to express the importance of this audience. It is also important that we keep pace with the fast growth of technology, and are prepared to incorporate it into what we do. In my opinion NGL plays a very important role in this. We cover the total Hispanic Market, incorporating the most recent technology along the way. This is a key component of why this company has been and will continue to be successful. I’m proud to be a part of the NGL team. I enjoy working with great teams of qualified people with high levels of expertise, innovative thinking, and connections to diverse audiences that allow us to provide our publishers with unique value that only NGL can offer them.
