Cultura Ambidextrous
Cultura Ambidextrous
“A Latino in the U.S. lives in and inhabits your [non-Latino white] world on a day to day basis. However, it’s unlikely that you live in or inhabit their world.”
Culture
Ambidextrous
Equally adept in use of left &
right hands.
Lefty?
Lefties more likely to
develop right hand skills…
than righties are to develop
left hand skills.
Latino Mainstream
Code Switching
Bouncing between culture, language, behaviors, etc. Breaking expectations along the way.
Economics
54 Million US Latino population
17% of US population
30% Of Arizona population is Latino
More than 2 million
31% Phoenix population that is Latino.
Growing at a rate faster than any other ethnicity.

Ambidexterity & Navigation
Bicultural first.
Bilingual second.
pop-culture Music, TV, Movies, Sports, Video Games
Know American
Comfortable with English
Heavily Influenced by Latino culture
Lent
Cuaresma
Life through a Different Lens
“ ” One of the biggest challenges for marketers is not enough content that is culturally relevant, citing importance of why agencies and brands have to start content marketing campaigns targeting the Hispanic population almost from scratch by creating the content.
Mobile Media Summit during NYC’s Advertising Week, September 2014
Content Not enough relevant content for Latinos in either language. Who’s writing it?
Latinos & Blacks have different perceptions of
the media and how it does/doesn’t portray them.
Different in content
consumption.
Spanglish: El Bad Boy de Linguistics
Why? Because we can.
Linguistic fusion

Video by AT&T

TV spot by Honda
Why? Because we listen.
Spanglish Know 2 languages. Know the rules before you break them. Know your audience. Keep it simple. Don’t overly mix/match. Is it appropriate? Use humor.
Bilingual Maybe this is a better approach. Messaging reinforced.
Reaching the Ambidextrous
Biculturals Will have a few more interests. Like someone who can use both their left and right hands.
Spanish Important in our lives, even if English is more prevalent.
Language It’s a tactic. Not a strategy.
Don’t directly translate.
In-Culture As opposed to language.
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Make sure you engage the audience with your brand, and do so with relevant content and messaging. Look through a different lens. Can you tell them the story?
§ Be sure to align with your overall business strategy
§ Have good understanding of customer segments
§ Do your research & test § Begin w/ ethnic insights in mind
And remember…
Thank you.
