Overview
U.S. Hispanics are ahead of the curve when it comes to digital media. They lead in adoption of new devices. They are power users of mobile and over-index in video consumption. Despite the facts, U.S. Hispanics are a vastly underserved market, and the opportunities to reach them through digital remain largely untapped.
With a population of over 50 million and a buying power of over $1 trillion, Hispanics are a coveted—and growing—audience for marketers to target. Hispanic consumers are on the web, and they’re setting trends in digital media. Let’s look at how the Hispanic community influences digital media.
What this all means…
The Evolution of Hispanic Media
Language preferences: A growing share of Latino adults are consuming news in English from television, print, radio and internet outlets.
Hybrid outlets: Outlets like Fusion and FLAMA are drawing Millennials toward a new method of receiving content, through a combination of broadcast and online platforms. Fusion viewers are bicultural – they identify themselves as first Americans, and their main language is English – but they are still Latinos.
Latina bloggers as influencers: Growing in number and influence, Latina bloggers have become a huge asset as they partner with brands to help drive news, PR initiatives and awareness through their substantial social media presence.
Social channels for news: Hispanic Millennials are “digital natives”— highly vested in the new platforms of the digital era—the internet, mobile technology, social media.
HISPANIC CONSUMERS: THE DIGITAL TRAILBLAZERS
Speak their culture
Language isn’t enough. To really speak to Hispanics you need to be culturally relevant. Culture is the new language. Take for example Universal pictures Despicable Me 2. Universal successfully combined cultural relevance with language preferences, targeting and online video in its campaign.
Universal found a way to extract storylines, show relevant talent, use music and use the Spanish language when appropriate—all ways to help make the film attractive and culturally relevant to Hispanic audiences.
Give them choices—más opciones
Too often, marketers think they’re reaching U.S. Hispanics by simply translating ads and websites into Spanish. The truth is, this audience is diverse and often bilingual. Through digital, marketers don’t need to take a one-language-fits-all approach—and they shouldn't, because there is a big opportunity to reach these consumers in both languages. Let the users pick which language they prefer. "It’s about 'and' not 'or.'"
Mattel is adopting this approach, creating bilingual versions of its campaigns. Last year, it launched a cross-brand Hispanic-targeted holiday campaign, 'Toy Feliz’, which included a bilingual website.
Be Mobile
Among smartphone owners, Hispanics are 17% more likely than non-Hispanics to access the web more through their phone than through a computer. They’re also more likely to upgrade or replace their mobile headsets and buy tablets. A lot of that video watching happens on mobile, as smartphones are becoming the “first screen.” Nielsen states that 10 million Hispanics watch mobile video for an average of more than six hours per month.
Be where they are—video and mobile
Two brands that have taken this lesson to heart are Universal Pictures and CoverGirl. Universal Pictures has a dedicated Latino channel on YouTube where it distributes custom spots, featurettes, clips and content. CoverGirl sponsors Becky G, a Mexican-American singer/dancer who has a huge following on YouTube among U.S. Hispanics.
When it comes to mobile, figure out your mobile-centric use cases, create mobile-first destinations, drive ROI and branding in mobile-specific ways and integrate mobile prominently into multi-screen campaigns.
Connect and engage with cultural relevancy
Constantly connected consumers are influential ones—spreading ideas, culture and content—and this audience is very connected. Brands can make great use of digital media to connect with this audience. The key is to create culturally relevant experiences that resonate with these consumers.
An example of this is Starbucks “Noches Culturales” (Cultural Nights). Starbucks, in partnership with the Edelman Multicultural team, helped the brand engage with the Hispanic community in a culturally relevant way. The program included a series of in-store concerts which highlighted local Latino musicians and giving them a platform for discovery and engagement with their fans.
