Hispanic-focused agencies spend surprisingly little on digital

Published July 11, 2011


Advertising agencies looking to reach Hispanic consumers spend little money on digital marketing, and they may be missing out on a powerful way to connect to this audience, according to MediaPost.

Citing research conducted by Advertising Age, MediaPost notes only 4.8 percent of Hispanic media spend went to digital marketing, the remainder being devoted to traditional channels such as television and radio. However, Hispanic consumers are growing increasingly engaged with web-based communication channels, such as Facebook and Twitter, and the source advises advertisers to shift their budgets to keep up.

"It’s clear there is some major inefficiency in how most Hispanic advertising is being executed and allocated by channel. Depending on your view of the situation, there is clearly a market opportunity for fresh thinking on the Hispanic ad agency side or for new business models in the media business," MediaPost urges.

Not all brands are neglecting newer internet platforms. For example, Kmart recently hired five popular Hispanic bloggers to write for the company and engage Spanish-speaking customers through Kmart's Facebook page.

Twitter is Go on Vodafone

Vodafone UK has signed an agreement with Twitter that will allow its customers to send updates to, and receive SMS notifications from, the messaging network of the moment.
As of today, Vodafone customers will be able to receive text messages from people they choose to follow via SMS on Twitter and send text messages to a dedicated Shortcode, 86444, for their ‘tweets, @replies, or to follow someone on the go. When receiving a text message from Twitter containing a URL, customers will be able to click on the link and access the webpage directly from their mobiles.
The SMS updates posted on Twitter will be free of charge for the first few weeks from launch; after that, they will be part of customers’ bundles. After the free period, regular charges will apply to customers without bundles, but all text message updates sent from Twitter will remain free of charge.
“We are delighted to be the only operator in the UK today to offer Twitter on SMS to our customers,” says Al Russell, Vodafone UK’s Head of Vodafone Internet services. “Since we made social networks on the move both simple to use and great value, customers have flocked to using these services, which have exploded in popularity.”
Twitter’s Director of Mobile Business Development, Kevin Thau, adds:
“Mobile texting extends the power of Twitter's real-time network in a simple but significant way. Twitter is the messaging network you didn't know you needed until you experience it over SMS.”
Vodafone says the new service is easy to use on any mobile device and offers fast mobile access to one of the most popular social networks in the world. Twitter joins a long list of social networks available through Vodafone live! since December 08.
Vodafone adds that since it began including mobile Internet access in its price plans, giving customers unlimited access to the mobile Internet, social networks have topped Vodafone’s popularity charts for the most visited sites on mobiles.
