The 10 Fastest-Growing Hispanic Marketing Agencies

It's one of the fastest-growing consumer segments: The Hispanic population has increased by 50% since 2000. And currently, this group represent $1.2 trillion in buying power.

And it's a complex group of people made up of people from different ethnicities and with different language backgrounds. What's confusing for marketers is that the lines between Hispanic marketing, multicultural marketing, and general market marketing are unclear. Consider Pew Research's findings on the states in the U.S. with the fastest-growing Hispanic population between 2000 and 2012: Tennessee (up 163%), South Carolina (161%), Alabama (157%), Kentucky (135%) and South Dakota (132%).

Look at recent work from Corona and Bud Light.

Multicultural marketing is general market advertising.

But there are still opportunities for brands to create targeted campaigns to connect directly with the Hispanic consumers, meaning they need agencies that understand the individual segments of this market.
