The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Commends Boehringer Ingelheim's Selection of Republica as Cross-Cultural Agency of Record


WASHINGTON, Feb 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) proudly congratulates República on its new role as Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s (BIPI) first cross-cultural advertising agency. República will be responsible for executing BIPI's marketing communications strategy in the U.S, through a multi-phase campaign raising awareness for BIPI and several of its brand portfolios within America's multicultural markets. This initiative is slated to launch by the summer of 2013.



"República is not only a member, but also a trusted partner of the USHCC, and we could not be prouder of their new endeavor. I am confident República will execute effectively on BIPI's vision, successfully promoting the pharmaceutical company's brand and expand its market reach, not only to Hispanics, but to all American consumers," said USHCC President & CEO Javier Palomarez.
