But it’s changing just as drastically as it’s growing

Page 12: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

63 is more important than 50

63% of U.S. Hispanics were born in the U.S.

This is infinitely more important than the size (50.5 million) of the Hispanic population.

a large and growing population of immigrants is quickly becoming a large and growing ethnic group

We need to figure out the Hispanic market, but old models don’t work…

What are we to do?

Page 19: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

We need to figure out the Hispanic market, but old models don’t work…

What are we to do?

Use (or create) new models.

This is why we undertook the Hispanic Persona Project

Personas 101

Page 22: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

What are personas?

22

Page 23: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

What is a persona?

Profile of an archetypal user

Represents the needs of many

Based on ethnographic research

Emphasize behavior, motivations, and mindsets

23

Page 24: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

A Primer on Personas Invented by and made famous by Alan Cooper’s “The Inmates are Running the Asylum” (1999) Personas have been derided

But good personas are based on real data and defined by goals

Commonly used in digital advertising and user experience (UX) design

But quickly being adopted across the enterprise

24

Page 25: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

How do we create personas?

Synthesized from ethnographic interviews Presented as real people with descriptions

Behavior patterns Skills Attitudes Environment

25

Page 26: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

Why use personas for the Hispanic market?

26

Page 27: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

Hispanic Personas

They focus on behavior, mindsets, and goals, not demographics Provide important texture to plan earned media initiatives, particularly in interactive and two-way social environments

But we added a twist…

We evolved the persona model by incorporating:

Psychographic details

Differences from other ethnic and general market users

Ways to reach them

Applying the Personas

Page 43: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

43

Page 44: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

Choose one

1. Using Hispanic Personas for the Enterprise (e.g. customer service, designing products)

2. Using Hispanic personas to plan / develop owned media (e.g. Websites, social media properties)

3. “Futurecasting” the Personas

4. Differences between Hispanic and “other” personas

44

Page 45: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

1) Using Hispanic Personas for the Enterprise

Customer Service Call Center scripts, IVRs

Sales Strategy Custom Portals

Page 46: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

2) Using Hispanic personas to guide owned media

Information Architecture Taxonomy Content Strategy Planning Functionality

46

Page 47: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

3) “Futurecasting” the Personas

Trends changing the Hispanic market A younger population, that is more acculturated A geographically diverse market – that is quickly growing in the South and Midwest A group of consumers that is spending more and more time consuming digital media (in many cases for the first time) And a consumer base that is pushing the technological envelope, leading the adoption of new devices such as tablets, 4G smartphones, and emerging gaming platforms.

Result on Personas More Social Techies and Tech Influentials (potential hybrid persona) More “Nostalgic Newbie” motivations and behavior Need to address novice behavior / potential new persona representing Hispanic boomers Tech Influential on steriods

47

Page 48: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

4) How are Hispanic Personas different?

What if you already have personas? Should you create a separate set of Hispanic personas? Should you make sure some of your personas are “Hispanic”?

Almost all of interviewees noted that the first thing they do when they go online is check email and Facebook – very often from mobile devices.

Social Media Usage

Page 52: Sensis SXSW Interactive Presentation - The Hispanic Persona Project

Younger Hispanic ‘super users’ are teaching the late adopters how to use new technology and introducing them to new digital trends.

“The young teaching the old”

Interviewees mentioned they are likely to click on online ads if they are relevant to their interests or contextually relevant, particularly hyper-targeted Facebook ads.
