At Radio Ink's Hispanic Radio Conference, next week in San Diego, you'll have a rare opportunity to hear directly from agency experts what advertisers really want from Hispanic radio today. In a conversation led by Entravision's Karl Meyer, these leading clients will explain what they're looking for from their marketing partners, their expectations for digital and social media, and what radio needs to do to keep them interested and get more of their advertising dollars.
And, just as important, you'll hear about what they don't need, and exactly how radio stacks up against its ever-increasing competition. You'll get the inside information you need so you can approach key advertisers with confidence that what you're offering is what they're really looking for -- it's a conversation you don't want to miss!
