MIAMI, FL — (Marketwire) — 05/15/09 — (SPT) international networks group unveiled its Sintate PSA Campaign at a private cocktail reception on Thursday, May
14 at the Gibson Showroom located in Miami’s Design District. This campaign is a part of Sony’s Iniciativa SER, a breast cancer prevention and early detection campaign in support of Latin American women. “We are so lucky to be able to build off the success of SER and establish it as a comprehensive resource for breast cancer awareness for women and their families,” says Klaudia Bermudez-Key, SPT’s senior vice president and general manager of advertising sales, Latin America. “The second phase of Iniciativa SER will focus more on the community and emotional involvement through the Sintate PSAs and the social networking feature we are adding to the website which will allow users to interact with one another on a consistent basis.” The campaign, which revolves around the phrase “Sintate aqui y cuentanos tu historia” (Sit here and tell us your story), will showcase testimonials read by celebrities sitting in a pink chair designed by international designer . The public service announcements will begin airing in June on television channels represented by SPT’s Latin American advertising sales group, including A&E, AXN, Bio, CasaClubTV, E!, MGM, The History Channel and Sony Entertainment Television. “I was extremely honored when asked to participate in Iniciativa SER and design this year’s campaign’s focal point — the pink chair,” says Hoyos. “The design for the chair was inspired by ‘women.’ I imagined a chair with absolute feminine curves, a small waist and generous hips. With arms open wide and extended out as if to invite you for a warm embrace. I was also able to incorporate the shape of the pink ribbon into the chair’s design, which is the symbol of Iniciativa SER as well as the fight against breast cancer.” ABOUT SONY PICTURES TELEVISION Sony Pictures Television is one of the television industry’s leading content providers.
