We’ve worked a lot with young creatives and with not-so-young creatives, and we’re organizing a couple more projects that I want to leave ready” Vera said.Among the creative’s achievements during his 12 months in charge of the organization was the launch of the Hispanic Creative Circle newsletter. “The push we gave to creating the newsletter helped keep us more in touch with the rest of the market, we had more communications month after month” he said.Vera became president of the U.S. Hispanic Creative Circle in June 2012, succeeding Gustavo Lauria. He had previously worked as VP of the Hispanic Creative Circle in producing the USH Idea Awards.“There’s no doubt we feel the Circle did its job this year, and in my case it makes me proud to have had this chance to do my bit for the creative community in the United States” he said.
