Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Lionel Sosa' extraordinary achievements in advertising have made his San Antonio-based frim the leading consultant to Anglo corporations looking to break into the multicultural market. Now he turns the tables, showing Latino-Americans how to market themselves to a wider American business culture. Sosa draws on his own experience as well as those of other successful Latino politicians, entertainers, sports stars, and businesspeople to illustrate the obstacles that Latinos must overcome and the power of their heritage. By showing in complete detail how all Latinos can compete and win in American society, The Americano Dream stands alone in the marketplace and will quickly become the bible for a new generation of entrepeneurs. •There is a clearly defined market for this book. Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. •Lionel Sosa is the founder of the largest Hispanic advertising agency in the U.S. •Lionel Sosa is now the CEO of KJS, the nation'sfirst multicultural advertising agency, which helps Fortune 500 companies expand their business into Latino, Asian, and African-American markets. •Lionel Sosa has been featured on the "Today" show and profiled by Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, and U.S. News and World Report. •Lionel Sosa lectures regularly to Latino businesses and community groups. •This hardcover is being published simultaneously with a Spanish-language Plume edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it if you are a minority!!, December 5, 2000
By kamal kant (Singapore) - See all my reviews
Mr Sosa has a brilliant message. You can succeed even though you may belong to a minority or 'disadvantaged'. Although, he shares the Latinos' experiance and the Americano dream, his story is applicable to anyone who has persistence and determination to succeed. I live in a city state where most of us come from immigrant origins and have thrived. Mr Sosa's practical and sound advice in the book is something you can immediately put to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars The voyage begins here, August 7, 2000
When I started to read this book I knew right away that this man had the answers I was searching for. He is on target with what it takes to make it the present US economy. I not only gained knowledge, I gained pride in my culture. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A breakaway from the traditional Hispanic mentality!!, July 1, 1999
An insightful book that brings to surface the traits and characters of Hispanics that are detrimental in some respects but an asset in other situations. Mr. Sosa voices the ever-increasing philosphy of the Hispanic that wants to succeed in business as any other Anglo strives to succeed. Finally a book that expresses what I have always believed. A 'MUST' read for any Latino who wants to understand why he believes and thinks different than their "madre" and/or "padre".
