You use data as your arsenal and make your business intelligence, actionable.”

Before Pulpo, Lopez-Knowles served as President of GlobalHue Latino, a leading multicultural agency, and prior to that was at McCann Worldgroup (an Interpublic Company), where she founded and led a division of its MRM (McCann Relationship Marketing) Unit, exclusively focused on targeting acculturated Hispanics digitally.

A graduate of Loyola University of the South, and the University of New Orleans, she holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a graduate degree in Mass Communications, with a specialty in Film and Television. She is a second-generation Hispanic and is bilingual and bicultural.

“We’re pleased that Maria will expand her role at Entravision and lead our marketing efforts,” says Ulloa. “Her strong foundation in multicultural segmentation and in-depth Latino market insights across generations brings a unique skill set to this role. María’s over 30 years of advertising and marketing expertise make her the ideal candidate to further strengthen Entravision’s integrated approach to our marketing and digital businesses.”

“I am thrilled to increase my engagement across the Entravision organization,” says Lopez-Knowles. “Entravision’s understanding of the Latino market, and its commitment to embracing all segments of our Hispanic community, across all available media, is unparalleled in the industry. I share Entravision’s vision and passion and look forward to evolving the brand and its offerings, to better serve both our advertisers and the Latino market in its entirety.”
