NHMC Hires New Social Media and Communications Strategist

The National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC), the nation’s leading non-profit, non-partisan, media advocacy and civil rights organization for the benefit and advancement of Latinos, today announced that Brian Pacheco has been hired as the organization’s new Social Media and Communications Strategist.

Pacheco comes to NHMC from GLAAD, a national lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) media advocacy organization, where he worked as the Spanish-Language Media Strategist and secured local, national, and international media coverage, as well as developed and implemented social media campaigns targeting Latinos.

“I’m very pleased that Brian has joined the NHMC team. He brings valuable experience not only in communications but in advocacy work.” said NHMC President & CEO, Alex Nogales. “The 2010 census and the last Presidential election made it clear that the U.S. Latino population can no longer be ignored. It’s an exciting time for Latinos in media and for NHMC’s work. Brian’s skill and passion are exactly what our organization needs at this important moment of change.”

Pacheco began working in the organization’s Pasadena headquarters in late August. For press inquiries, he can be reached at bpacheco@nhmc.org or (626) 792-6462.
