Milka Duno in Colombia and Venezuela for Sony Latin America
September 12, 2006 Los Angeles, CA - Understanding of the growing influence
of technology in the lifestyle of Hispanic women, and with the purpose
of
promoting the Xplod entertainment product line for automobiles from
Sony,
Milka Duno will make appearances in Venezuela and Colombia this week
on
behalf of Sony Latin America.
Milka's long list of victories on the race tracks as well as her personal
achievements outside the tracks have made her Sony's first choice to
be the
image of the Xplod products in Latin America. Sony considers Milka
an
excellent spokesperson for Xplod because, besides her Hispanic origin,
she
combines values that are appealing to men as well as women. Milka's
attractiveness, intelligence, and work with non-profit organizations
have
helped her become an excellent role model for women of all ages.
Sony is the first electronics brand to address women consumers and
the
importance they have when making buying decisions of electronic products.
Milka has already made appearances in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Peru, Chile
and
Argentina on behalf of Sony Latin America and will also visit Guatemala
before year's end.
