Hispanic allocation of advertising spending is positively correlated with revenue growth rates for technology, telecommunications, and entertainment companies. A study of 40 public companies in these sectors from 2006-2010 found that higher levels of spending allocated to Hispanic media were directly associated with higher compound annual growth rates. Specifically, companies in the top 30th percentile for both Hispanic allocation and revenue growth included DirecTV, Dish Network, Metro PCS, Leap Wireless, Time Warner Cable and Verizon. Apple and Samsung were anomalies due to their innovation leadership reinventing the mobile device and app markets.

• Of course, each year’s CAGR most significantly
affects the company’s revenue growth over 5
years
• R‐square 0.305 In other words, 30.5% of the
variation in growth over the 5 years (CAGR 06‐10)
is explained by the ad spend in Hispanic media
over the 5 years and each year’s annual growth.
• On average, for every additional percentage point
increase in Hispanic allocation, we would expect
revenue growth of .468% over the 5 years.
• In other words, allocating 10% of the company’s
ad spend to Hispanic media over 5 years would
generate revenue growth of 4.68% over the 5 year
period.
