The 2011 Billboard Latin Music Conference will host its first-ever marketing awards, honoring the best marketing, branding and sponsorship campaigns of the year that use Latin artists and Latin songs.
The awards, covering four categories, were created in recognition of the increasing role of brands and sponsors in the promotion and marketing of Latin acts and music. They will also coincide with the release of the 2010 U.S. census numbers, which are expected to show a dramatic growth in the U.S. Latin population that will affect advertising rates and budgets for the immediate future.
