What do we know about Latinos in the US?
Latinos and Media Use The median age of the US population is 36 and within the Latino community it is 27. Of that population one third are under 18. There are 21 million Hispanics in the US that use the Internet. There are 12.1 million Latino youth in the US. Among Hispanic young adults 77% own a cell and 74% use an iPod.
Latino Media Use Among all 8 to 18-year olds, total amount of media exposure in a typical day, by race/ethnicity over time: In 1999 6:56 hours a day among whites 9:01 among African Americans 8:19 among Latinos In 2009 8:36 hours a day among whites 12.59 among African America 13.00 among Latinos

The New Face of America Millennials (ages 18-29)
Millennial Profile The American teens and twenty-somethings who are making the passage into adulthood at the start of a new millennium have their profile reflective of: Confidence Self-expression Liberal Upbeat attitude Open to change
Millennial Profile Three-quarters have created a profile on a social networking site. One in five have posted a video of themselves online. Nearly four in ten have a tattoo. Nearly one in four have a piercing in some place other than an earlobe.
Millennial Profile Thirty-seven percent of 18 to 29-year-olds are unemployed or are out of the workforce. Two-thirds say “you can’t be too careful” when dealing with people. One in four are unaffiliated with any religion. About six in ten were reared by both parents. Place parenthood and marriage far above career and financial success. Only 21% of 18 to 29-year-olds are married. More than one third of women who gave birth were unmarried.
Millennial Profile Tolerant and accepting of diversity in relation to: Interracial dating Sexual identity People living together without getting married Teen motherhood Single women deciding to have children
Social Media and Latinos Seventy-eight percent of Fortune 1000 companies are not employing social media sites to market to Latinos. In 2009 advertisers invested $225.5 million on online advertisements directed towards Hispanic consumers Social media fits in nicely with the Hispanic cultural characteristic of being community-oriented valuing relationships (family, friends, etc). Culturally, Hispanics tend to be drawn to collectivistic values and often look to one another to help guide decisions and opinions. Social media facilitates such collective sharing of information and communication.
Social Media and Latinos Organizations would be wise to tap this cultural element via social media. A successful social media strategy requires a clear definition of objectives, understanding of your audience and a strategy for engaging them. Consider the cultural motivations that are driving your target audience to social media. Building and maintaining conversations with a target audience requires research, careful planning and a strategic approach. Check out: @BeingLatino or Twitteros.net

Promoting Health Some research suggests that messages sent through Twitter and Facebook are not considered credible sources of information. So it is critical to think about how to formulate the message to increase dialogue about health issues for Hispanics. Peers can act as intermediaries for health promotion. User generated content allows Hispanics to be engaged with a sense of ownership and in real time. Organizations need to think about how to engage Hispanics using social media platforms strategically (Flickr, YouTube, My Space, etc.).
2.0 Readiness Is your organization ready for digital marketing? There is a need to assess if your organization is able to develop a social marketing campaign or to enhance your agency’s reach into the Latino community by using social media. Consider how your organization will capitalize on the opportunity to keyword optimize content for searches (SEO). What policies are in place to protect your organization’s brand, message delivery, and blog content?
Content is King Social media has created a new layer of influencers. It is the understanding of the role people play in the process of not only reading and disseminating information, but also how they in turn, share and also create content for others to participate. Content is the new democracy and we the people, are ensuring that nuestras voces are heard.

Questions to Consider How could you use social media within your own community to promote influenza vaccine uptake? Does your organization have the capacity to monitor social media use? How would you shape your health messages to promote other self care behaviors?
Content is King Content generated media can put the “public” back into public health.
