I recommended making the piece "Spanish-dominant," meaning that most of the message would be in Spanish, with brief, to-the-point copy in English.&#xD;&#xD;Working with my client's art director and designer, I produced this SEGURO campaign (two pieces shown here), which won an ARC award by the Midwest Direct Marketing Association. ARC stands for Art, Copy, Response: The campaign exceeded all response rates in al the target markets.&lt;br/&gt;</description>

I provided editorial consulting, script transcreation and copy editing, music selection, and voice talent casting, direction and accent coaching. Also, I did talent work on this show: The English voice-over for the TV news story.&#xD;&#xD;This is a bilingual production: Besides the English version that you can watch here, we produced a Spanish version for Puerto Rico.&lt;br/&gt;</description>

Focusing on Latino children in the U.S. for this program, they asked me to develop concepts for a campaign targeting Hispanic parents. The campaign included collateral (brochures), print (newspaper, magazines), poster (out-of-home) and other media vehicles.&lt;/span&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&lt;span&gt;I developed several concepts, and working with a colleague, a designer, developed the client's final selection, the "FUMAN" campaign. In the first photo at left, the question translates as,[b]"Do your kids smoke much?"[/b]&lt;/span&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&lt;span&gt;The campaign includes education on the health effects of exposure to second-hand smoke, particularly in children.&lt;/span&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&lt;span&gt;The second photo shows another key message in the campaign, which translates as,[b]"If you smoke at home, so do your children."[/b]&lt;/span&gt;&#xD;&#xD;&lt;span&gt;The third photo shows the call to action: [b]"Please don't smoke at home."[/b]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>
