History
HIP was formed to capitalize on the growing demand for innovative new formats and content with a Latin flavor or point-of-view. A demand that we see is being driven by a new generation of Hispanics - poised to be our country’s next major ‘cultural drivers’. This is an exploding, bi-lingual, bi-cultural generation that is rapidly emerging as a force that is affecting music, TV, movies, video games, the web, etc.HIP’s broad range of creative services include: content creation, program development and production, motion design, post-production finishing services, and Hispanic business development.
