I asked Maria Ignacia Arcaya, SVP of Social Impact and Institutional Relations, to be my guest writer for this post. I wanted Maria Ignacia to share with you the amazing work that the team has been doing around COVID19. In the last few weeks we have all in one way or another had to rethink […]
The Miss Venezuela 2015 pageant was not only the most watched live show in Latin America, but also served as a successful and strategic campaign to raise awareness on a very important social cause.
I always look forward to the start of the New Year. People are recharged and energized and there seems to be great business momentum.
Como todos los años, el pasado 9 de octubre el certamen de Miss Venezuela sirvió de escenario para la sensibilización ante una causa social.
I never thought 100 days would go by so fast. I feel like I hit the ground running and haven’t quite slowed down. Looking back at what we have been able to accomplish, the challenges we have faced and the opportunities that we have identified it’s no wonder I feel like I have been on a long distance race since September.
A few years ago, I was approached by IESA, Venezuela’s leading business school asking to write a case on the Miss Venezuela Organization, a franchise we have owned for over 30 years.
About two years ago we set out to develop a new social responsibility program for Venevision, our TV network in Venezuela. Cisneros Group, our parent company, has been “giving back†for over 35 years through the educational programs of the Fundacion Cisneros and as a network, Venevision has always been a responsible company, helping the schools in the area, running a yearly telethon to raise money for the “Hospital Ortopédico Infantilâ€, and organizing food, blood and toy drives during hard times.
On Monday was the premiere of our most highly anticipated novela, El Talisman, the second collaboration by Venevisión Productions and Univisión. Produced completely in high definition (HD), El Talisman includes a first class cast and production team, and is expected to have full-blown success, as was seen by its predecessor Eva Luna which also broke various network and broadcasting records.
I was very excited last Sunday when I heard that Ivián Sarcos “Miss Venezuela 2011†had been crowned Miss World 2011, an honor for Venezuela and its beautiful women. With this victory, Venezuela now holds six titles from the Miss World and Miss Universe Pagents; something we can all be proud of!
