Leading Latino Sports Marketing Company Launching First Online Latino Sports Network

NEW YORK, April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mundial Group, a leading Latino sports marketing company, announced today that it will be changing its name to Mundial Sports Network (http://www.MundialSportsNetwork.com) and providing advertisers with a brand new robust integrated digital offering.

Widely known for publishing the hugely successful Futbol Mundial, Beisbol Mundial and Boxeo Mundial magazines with respective audited circulations of 950,000, in 2010 the company has "re-booted" to now include the Mundial Online Sports Network, Digital Magazines (aka "digi-zines"), enhanced owned and operated destinations and a forthcoming WAP mobile site.

According to founder and CEO, Felix Sencion, "Having been at the forefront of Latino sports media for nearly a decade, it made logical sense to plus-up our digital assets to complement our three broad reaching publications.  During the time we've been in business lots of Latino sports properties have come and gone, but we've remained fully committed to our loyal audience and advertisers. The announcement of the Mundial Sports Network and our unique U.S. Hispanic male digital sports platform will be filling a much needed void in the marketplace."

The Mundial Sports Network, the first ever dedicated U.S. Hispanic online sports network, will give advertisers the broadest opportunity to target Hispanic males via a multitude of premium affiliate and owned and operated Latino sports sites. In a sea of online networks, Mundial Sports Network is the first to exclusively leverage online sports destinations to aggregate Hispanic males online.  In addition to the network's unique vertical reach of 3,000,000 and growing, advertisers will be able to create customized campaigns that include sponsorships, branded entertainment opportunities and cross-platform components.  The Mundial Sports Network is actively signing up new partners daily via its corporate website at http://www.MundialSportsNetwork.com.

As part of its re-booting initiative, the Mundial Sports Network is also pleased to be offering digi-versions of its Futbol Mundial, Beisbol Mundial and Boxeo Mundial magazines.  Advertisers can insert rich media, audio, video, surveys and other exciting ad units into the digi-zines that will be syndicated via eBlasts, Mundial Sports Network affiliates and a variety of social media tools.  Mundial's unique Spanish-language sports content will also soon be available via a WAP Mobile site encompassing the three most popular sports among U.S. Hispanics of soccer, boxing and baseball.

"I've worked with Felix and Mundial for many years and they've always delivered terrific value in connecting brands with U.S. Hispanic male sports fanatics.  It's really exciting to see their bolstering the incredible reach of their publishing properties with even broader reaching digital assets that will truly complement one another," said Sofia Escamilla, VP of Media at the Phelps Group.
