Our Story
HTA Marketing And Consulting LLC was founded with a clear purpose: to close the gap between the ambition of Hispanic entrepreneurs and the resources, knowledge, and opportunities they deserve.
Saint Louis has a vibrant and growing Hispanic business community — restaurant owners, retail operators, contractors, non-profits, and visionary entrepreneurs who work hard every day. Yet too many face barriers that have nothing to do with their talent or drive: language gaps, unfamiliarity with federal programs, lack of access to marketing expertise, and limited connections to the networks that open doors.
We built HTA to be the bridge. Our team brings deep expertise in marketing strategy, business consulting, federal grant writing, federal contracting, and procurement — all delivered with cultural understanding and bilingual capability.
Our Mission
“To empower Hispanic-owned businesses and all entrepreneurs in Saint Louis and beyond with the marketing, consulting, and federal opportunity expertise they need to grow, compete, and thrive.”
