LatinWorks Recruits Young

LatinWorks has hired Curt Young as manager of business development.

Young is charged with supervising the growth of the Hispanic advertising agency in Austin, Texas, a responsibility previously handled primarily by co-founders Manny Flores and Alejandro Ruelas.

Young will initially evaluate solicitations and possible strategic relationships with general-market agencies. “There’s a buzz about this agency, and my job is to focus and see how we can be smart about our growth,” he said.

The agency also plans to actively seek new business, particularly in the market segments that have not traditionally reached out to Hispanic consumers, like pharmaceuticals, he said.

Education will become a large part of the job once he initiates new-business searches.”With
