Latin Passion Points are not based on
language, like: Music Soccer Food Family Immigration Local Community
Spanish Speaking US Population will keep growing, therefore opportunities for Spanish Media in US will do so too
La>nos are the most digital engaged consumer demographic in US*
But, relevant Media for Latinos goes beyond language, it is about passion points, story telling, characters and media touching points

Content producers and brands targeting Latinos need to consider this multidimensional approach
Latinos are trendsetters and traditionalist at the same time, they are bicultural and live in multigenerational communities.
