Unique Insights for Attracting The Hispanic Shopper Audience [REPORT]

Like other shopper groups, Hispanics vary tremendously in terms of such demographics as income, age, country of origin, life style, and the use of digital, social and mobile communication platforms and how that impacts their path-to-purchase. However, unique to the Hispanic population is variation based on level of acculturation. Some Hispanics continue to prefer Spanish-language media, speak mostly Spanish and live in tight-knit Hispanic communities. At the other end of the continuum are the many Hispanics who are completely integrated into American culture and lifestyles.

Patent Troll Liability in Client/Agency Contracts

ANA (Association of National Advertisers) recommends that clients generally not indemnify agencies for patent claims. Rather, agencies should assume the liability for their work product, including liability for patent infringement. Accordingly, client/agency contracts should include “indemnity clauses” which require that the agency step in and defend the client in the event of a patent infringement claim.

Total Audience Report

Nielsen is releasing the newly rebranded cross-platform report as the Total Audience Report. As we have seen with previous reports, there is an accelerated growth and proliferation of technological devices. These devices have allowed consumers to connect with content anytime and anywhere. What used to be a schedule to watch programming now seems like little more than a suggestion, considering viewers currently have choices to watch live linear programming, on-demand, through subscription services and apps, among other ways to tune in.

Bilingual Advertising: The Next Thing Or Next Mistake? [ ¿INSIGHT? ]

The Story

Recently, a 30-second AT&T television ad, “Vivir Sin Compromisos,” caught my attention. It shows young, appealing, Latinos talking about themselves and reacting to the company’s cellular service.

What makes this ad stand out is that the actors speak in English, Spanish and mix of the two — Spanglish.

Because of that, we wanted to understand how the ad resonated with Spanish-Preferred Hispanics, English-Preferred Hispanics and Bicultural Hispanics, so we tested it.  By Mario Carrasco / partner, ThinkNow Research

The Help. This week: Ed Rivero, film producer.

Few film producers have a resumé as impressive as Ed Rivero’s. He’s as crossover as it gets. He worked years with the most powerful players in Hollywood (Ridley & Tony Scott ring a bell? Quentin f*****g Tarantino?) yet he saw a business opportunity in the Hispanic market and jumped in with both feet. These days he runs one of the coolest production companies in our industry, LA-based Cortez Brothers. His roster of directors reads like the wet dream of a creative with Cannes ambitions.  By Gonzalo López Martí – LMMIAMI.COM

The Ultimate Accountability For Marketing Is Sales [INSIGHT]

For a very long time, marketers developed strategies to achieve marketing objectives like awareness, perception and efficiency.  The pendulum shifted recently, with marketers now starting to take a more significant seat at the C-level table, realizing that marketing metrics are not necessarily as important as standard business metrics — though marketing measures do provide a bridge to meet standard ones. And now the ultimate accountability for marketing is revenue and sales. Today’s marketers understand addressability and accountability, and if they don’t then they’re destined to be replaced.

The Appification of TV [INSIGHT]

For over 50 years, there was only a single “app” for TV viewers. It was an entertainment app whose sole function was to stream premium video content. Over the years, new versions of the app were released, including more channels, an interactive programming guide, higher definition displays, and the ability to record and playback programs. Viewers could customize their version of the app to some extent by negotiating with their app developer – that is, their cable or satellite company.  By Chris Louie, VP Product Leadership / Nielsen

Internet Of Things: Ready For Prime Time In Consumer Packaged Goods

As with many seemingly overnight sensations, the Internet of Things (IoT) —  the digitization of everyday objects —  has been a long time coming. More than three decades ago, thirsty students at Carnegie Mellon University famously connected a Coke machine to the Internet, in order to see whether it had drinks in stock, making it one of the first popular examples of the IoT in action.
