The Y&R Brands Miami office held it’s first, in a series, of Digital Days. Employees from the Bravo Group, Wunderman and Y&R came together to delve deep into the Hispanic digital world. They examined, with the help of a panel of experts, just how closely the Internet and mobile technology are intertwined with the lives of their consumer.

Eric Hoyt, President of Y&R Miami, said, “think of how much you go online these days, you wake up you check your e-mail, you get to the office and you work online—and we all know no one opens up the yellow pages anymore. Digital is a way that U.S. Hispanics acculturate themselves and a phenomenon that is growing exponentially across Latin America”
