Join PR News on July 31 and you’ll learn how to make your brand’s products and services relevant to the Hispanic community, connect with this community on the social media platforms it prefers and engage with the Hispanic media and leading bloggers.
Two years ago Hispanics comprised 16% of the U.S. population and represented $1 trillion in purchasing power. The buying power of this growing, social media-savvy population is projected to hit $1.5 trillion sometime this year—providing brands with untold opportunities for increased sales and community building. At this forward-looking PR News Webinar, you'll learn how to use your communications skills to build authentic, trusted connections with this powerful, important audience.
PR News has assembled a panel of experts who will show you how best to engage with your Hispanic audience: Raul Cisneros, deputy director in the Center for New Media and Promotions, U.S. Census Bureau; Sonia Sroka, SVP and director of Hispanic marketing for Porter Novelli; and Jennifer Stansfield, VP, VPE Public Relations who helped McDonald’s launch the Spanish-language Twitter handle, @MeEncanta.
