hispanic representation in advertising

Brands interested in targeting Hispanic and Latinx audiences run into challenges, from insufficient data that doesn’t accurately represent different segments to cookie-cutter creative that erases the complexity of a demographic with roots in more than 20 countries.

One-fifth of the US population is Hispanic. But Spanish speakers are sorely underrepresented in measurement ratings, so advertisers miss out on audience buying opportunities, says TelevisaUnivision’s Dan Aversano. To bridge that gap, media companies must be more comfortable with privacy-safe data sharing.
