Hispanics represent the fastest growing population segment in the country, a huge and growing buying power, with an undeniable over-indexing of numbers in multiple categories. The power and magnitude
of this group makes success in any field requiring consumer support virtually impossible if not engaged appropriately. Yet, while the need to market to Hispanics increases the appeal for Hispanic
marketing agencies is declining.

Thanks for your feedback, Anna. Yes. For a long time, it was thought that what defined this market was language. If you speak Spanish, you can do Hispanic work. It takes time to truly understand this segment and the approach needs to be unique.

Very true, Oscar. I agree. Specialized talent is still under-estimated, whether they are an independent Hispanic agency or part of a group. This needs to change. Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you, Stu. You are right. Measurement has always been a hurdle for the progress of this market. Years ago, we did not have proper data to track our efforts. Now that we do, the blurred lines between segments that you point out make it difficult to attribute success to specific initiatives. Maybe it is time we rethink the way we see the market and focus on collaboration toward the same common goal vs. fighting for shrinking budgets.
