Buenastardes.Thank you for having us here today, it really is Nielsen’s pleasure to be amongst such a distinguished group of leaders and to be part of today’s business awards luncheon. When we first talked to Pilar and the New America Alliance about what a partnership with them would look like, we immediately knew that this was an opportunity for both of our organizations to bring our respective resources together and address the question of the Hispanic impact. For most of us in this room, this is nothing new, we have been talking about the Hispanic impact for most of our lives. You are all entrepenuers, business leaders, community investors and for the past decade or more you have been at the forefront , guiding corporations, setting the tone for latinoagendas,estimating our buying power and even explaining to a well intended colleague, the difference between the word Hispanic and Latino. Well the truth is that no matter what you call yourself, there is a decidelylatin beat this is driving the growth and vitality of in our company and we want to partner with you to ensure that as a research company that your stories, our stories as a latino community are part of the media, financial, leadership, corporate dialogues that takes place when decisions latinos are being made. You see most of you probably know nielsen as the tv ratings company. The company that can tell you that 100 million people watched the superbowl, the company that can measure every 2.7 seconds of what you watch on TV and the company that NCIS and Dancing with the Stars were the highest rated shows last week. However we are also the company that can tell you that in the US, there is approximately 117 B in ad spending, the company that can tell you that our Cuban singer Pitbull had the 6th most listened to song on the radio last week, that the movie Fast Five with XXXX is amongst the most purchased DVD’s this week and that the average person will spend 3 hours, 43 minutes and 16 seconds on google this month. So you see, as we sat talking to Pilar about what type of partnership, we knew that we had to figure out a way to combine that data wealth of information and share it with you. But the biggest challenge is not sorting out through this data, the biggest challenge is one that we all encounter, one that at time stresses us out upsets people, the challenge is that we have to get this to you during lunch, so bear with us as we show you some very latino specific information. I want to introduce you to my fellow Peruana, one of the best investments Nielsen has ever done.
Myth #2:Why do people think Latinos don’t have any income? Truth be told, you saw that 50 % growth in five years, By 2015, Hispanics purchasing power will be larger than 8 economies in the world.
