Many Ruiz from Hispanicize Media Group to Keynote at NOEW 2017

Hispanicize Media Group’s CEO and Founder Manny Ruiz, was designed to present one of the prestigious keynotes at the 9th annual New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW), March 19th-24th. On March 22nd, he will be giving a keynote address titled Finding Your Inner Pigeon, where he will explain how being pigeon-holed early in his career -because of his Latino background- became his inspiration for creating niche, nationally renowned businesses that today are the leaders in the U.S. Hispanic social media and marketing industry. “I’m especially honored about this opportunity because I’ve never keynoted in front of a major festival audience like New Orleans Entrepreneur Week and I’ve never delved into the topic of building niche businesses” said Ruiz.
