“Ford is a leader in content marketing for U.S. Latinos, which is why we’re so honored to work together on the ‘Fuerza Ford’ boxing video campaign,” said Court Stroud, Executive Vice President, Network Sales and Digital, Azteca America. “Given that Azteca produces more hours of video content than any other U.S. Hispanic television network, storytelling is in our D.N.A. We are a natural fit for brands looking for high quality, digital-first content.”

“Ford Motor Company is proud to partner with Azteca TV to create a unique co-branded online hub as a source for Hispanic boxing lovers and newcomers alike to come and enjoy extended content beyond the matches in the ring – something we know the audience is passionate about,” added David Rodriguez, Multicultural Marketing Manager, Ford. “The Ford-branded boxing tutorial series is a great opportunity to further expose viewers to the 2015 Ford F-150 and showcase the toughness, technology and versatility the truck has to offer.”
