and is at the core of AHAA members' businesses,
according to Alex Lopez Negrete, chairman of the
Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies and
president and CEO of Lopez Negrete
Communications. "It's a matter of doing the
right thing both from a community perspective and
a business perspective," says Lopez Negrete.
"Getting involved in the communities we serve is
healthy for our staff, for the agencies'
business, and for our individual communities."
The positive social reward and empowerment that
comes from contributing to a greater cause and to
the betterment of Latinos is energizing," he
adds. The success we and our clients enjoy is
dependent upon healthier, smarter, better
educated consumers, so we have a responsibility
to them. It is right to give back to, and
continuously serve, the communities and the
population we represent." The following AHAA

ORGANIZATION AIDS Foundation of Chicago CAMPAIGN
SYNOPSIS Crystal Meth is the fastest-growing
drug abuse problem in Chicago, especially among
gay men. Seen as a glamorous party drug, its use
spiraled out of control. The drug, besides being
the most addictive out there, makes the user feel
dangerously hypersexual, and that has meant a
sharp increase in unsafe sex and HIV infections.
Lápiz, created the campaign "Crystal Breaks" to
persuade gay men to stay away from Meth. Using
the metaphor of crystal, the campaign reveals the
horrific nature if Crystal Meth underneath its
beautiful facade. Using primarily guerilla,
events and internet, the success of the campaign
generated enough support to later produce print,
OOH TV. CREDITS Creative Directors Laurence
