LaVERDAD Marketing and Media announced today their selection as the marketing & public relations agency of record for the Ohio Hispanic Chambers of Commerce.

“Our company is heavily invested in issues of economic development and inclusion.  Being a Minority Business Enterprise gives us the ability to understand the needs of small businesses and we are proud to partner with the Ohio Hispanic Chambers of Commerce to address those needs,” said Mike Robinson, president of LaVERDAD.

As agency of record, LaVERDAD will provide branding consultation, stakeholder management, cultural training, and insights which leverage the experiences of some of the top marketing and public relations leaders in Ohio.   Organizations like the Ohio Department of Health, Procter & Gamble, Toyota, Cintas, CDO Technologies, Cincinnati USA Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Downtown Cincinnati Inc., and the South Central Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council have benefited from their relationship with LaVERDAD.
