A pioneer in the advertising industry, Tere A. Zubizarreta (also known as Tere Zubi) was instrumental in helping to shift American marketers’ perceptions about Hispanics in the U.S., replacing the idea of Latinos being a homogenous minority group with limited resources with the dynamic reality of a multifaceted consumer segment representing the greatest growth opportunity of the 21st Century.
