Reasons to Attend This Event:
Make no mistake: Hispanics in the United States make up our most dominant, fastest-growing market segment—one that is already 51 million strong and growing by the day! Ignore this burgeoning market—and its special requirements—at your marketing peril.
With a market this big—supported by scores of specialized media—PR has countless opportunities to address interest groups of all ages and stages of life. Teens, moms and young adults are some of the fastest-growing and biggest Hispanic sub-groups—and don’t forget about Hispanic tech geeks, food bloggers and “gaytinos.”
While it’s true that many Hispanics respond to mainstream marketing and social media, they appreciate and often even require refined techniques that are sensitive to language and cultural differences. (Are you aware, for example, of the good times to use “Spanglish” –that mix of English and Spanish—as well as the terrible times?) In short, before you dive into Hispanic-targeted PR, you’ll want to learn both the most successful techniques and the deadliest pitfalls.
To bring you up to date and up to speed on this marketing bonanza quickly, PR University has assembled a world-class panel of Hispanic marketing experts to train you on what PR people need to know—and which costly mistakes to avoid—when directing your communications to Hispanics. And even better, you’ll learn how to use social media such as Facebook and Twitter more effectively to connect with Hispanics of all ages and interests.
