Tapping the Trillion-Dollar Latino Market: A Roadmap to Build Trust for Corporate America
Latinos often take center stage during U.S. presidential election years, recognized as a critical voting bloc with the power to shape the nation's future. With over 36 million projected eligible voters, the race to win the Hispanic vote is more urgent than ever. But this community has proven to be incredibly influential beyond politics, driving progress across all institutions, particularly business. Leaders of all institutions and organizations looking for sustained growth and influence must prioritize building and strengthening their relationships with Latinos. The 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report: Business and Racial Justice highlights how crucial it is for communities to feel seen and elevated. The data shows that people are 24 points more likely to trust businesses that serve the needs of their racial community well. However, only 45% of Hispanic/Latino respondents in the U.S. feel that businesses truly understand their experiences and are committed to their growth.

The ads turned out to be very engaging, but in a way, Bumble did not seemingly anticipate nor initially welcome the response they received. The ads triggered a flood of negative press that suggested the company had "sneered at celibacy as an alternative to dating."
