The Next Generation Of U.S. Consumers

2-10-14

Hispanics are changing marketing and media. Are you prepared? Hispanics are the fastest-growing demographic in the United States, and these consumers are increasingly influential -- and increasingly diverse. Who are today's Hispanic consumers, and how are they impacting culture and consumer habits in the U.S? The opening session of Radio Ink's Hispanic Radio Conference, led by Rosemary Scott, will address that question -- and much more.

What does the changing Hispanic population mean for the Spanish-language broadcasters who must now compete for an audience they once dominated? How can radio program to an audience that's just as diverse as the general market -- but often in different ways? This panel discussion will open your mind to the nuances and to the opportunities today's Hispanic consumers represent -- and how to capture your "fair share," and more, of the advertising dollars directed to them.
