NBCUniversal Hispanic Group’s annual Upfront presentation was held at New York’s Frederick P. Rose Hall and hosted by NBC’s “Today” news anchor Natalie Morales and Telemundo entertainment anchor and
“La Voz Kids” host Jorge Bernal. Executive Vice President of Advertising Sales for NBCUniversal’s News and Hispanic Groups, Mike Rosen, unveiled the company’s go-to-market strategy– “All Together. Latino.”– to connect
with U.S. Hispanic audiences across all of NBCUniversal’s networks and platforms. Executives also introduced an impressive array of digital opportunities for advertising partners and unveiled the 2015-2016 programming line-ups for Telemundo and NBC Universo, featuring more
than 1,000 hours of original content. The NBCUniversal Hispanic Group leads NBCU’s sales strategy in serving
the U.S. Hispanic community across all its networks and platforms. With NBCUniversal’s unprecedented portfolio and best-in-class data-driven optimization tools, marketers can identify and target the most desirable Hispanic consumers for their specific product or category, through
customizable campaigns leveraging NBCU’s multiple platforms – national broadcast, network cable, digital,
social, owned and operated stations and hyper-local targeted cable – regardless of language. “Hispanic America is the new mainstream,” said Joe Uva, Chairman,
Hispanic Enterprises and Content, NBCUniversal. “As one of the most influential segments of our society, today 57 million Hispanics influence more than 300 million people. With the potential scale and reach of over 90% of the Hispanic audience, every month, regardless of language, NBCU offers our clients opportunities that no other media company can when marketing to this vibrant segment of the population.” Rosen introduced CultureFirst, NBCU’s
latest innovative proprietary strategic approach to help inform advertisers’ decisions when designing campaigns
directed to the Hispanic segment. Anchored on Latino “human truths,” CultureFirst allows advertisers to
incorporate cultural traits that unify and connect Latinos, regardless of their language, into their decision process, ensuring relevance and maximum impact across the entire
demographic. Rosen announced that the next Curve Report, NBCU’s trends and insights practice, will devote its next major study to CultureFirst, recognizing the power of the Latino culture to impact the full U.S. cultural
landscape. “Hispanic marketing, up until now, has
been synonymous with, and limited to, Spanish-language media. Starting with the 2015-16 Upfront, and only with
NBCUniversal, language will never again be a barrier to great marketing,” added Rosen. “NBCU is uniquely
positioned with the breadth of its portfolio, combined with its best-in-class data optimization tools and custom integrated marketing solutions, to target Hispanics across all languages, and build unbreakable consumer experiences across all screens.”
