    “Beyond The World Cup: The Power Of Hispanic Sports Fans” A Hispanic Sports Overview report for marketing, branding and advertising professionals from Adam R Jacobson Premier Sponsor Distributed exclusively by © 2010 Adam R Jacobson Editorial Services and Research Consultancy FROM THE AUTHOR It's hardly a secret that Hispanic sports fans in the U.S. love soccer. In some cities, the word "love" may be an understatement. Fervent, fanatical fútbol lovers have been the target of many a Chief Marketing Officer, working on behalf of a brand, product or service seeking to maximize its potential for growth in the U.S. Hispanic market. From beer to home improvement retailers to electronics companies and wireless service providers, teaming up with a sports league, favored team or top talent has emerged as a powerful way to get a brand recognized. Yet many marketers stop at the most obvious of opportunities — soccer. Some are simply unaware — or perhaps ignorant — of the additional opportunities for sales growth, activations and that all-important ROI those in the C-Suite hold as their ultimate sign of success. Soccer is by far the No. 1 sport among all Hispanics in the U.S. But not all Latinos are alike, and from region to region across the nation savvy marketers have already noticed — and responded. For Hispanics whose heritage is tied to the Caribbean or Venezuela, baseball rules. Among Latinos across the American West, the Los Angeles Lakers and team superstar Kobe Bryant hold court like few other sports properties. In Miami, a typical tailgate party ahead of a Dolphins home game features churrasco, salchicha and a cacophony of car stereos blaring salsa and reggaetón tunes.

AS U.S. AD SPENDING growth virtually ground to a halt in early 2008, the $4 billion U.S. Hispanic market continued to post small but respectable gains. In the first quarter of 2008, spending on Spanish-language TV grew by 4.4% and Spanish-language magazines surged by 14.2%, while the U.S. media market as a whole grew by just 0.6%, according to TNS Media Intelligence. Spanish-language newspapers, however, fared no better than their general market counterparts, falling 5.3%, in line with the 5.2% drop for ad spending in the overall newspaper market. In 2007, Hispanic media ad spending grew by 4.2% while the general market was essentially flat at 0.2% growth, according to TNS. The biggest Hispanic surge was in internet media, up 36.3% in 2007. Advertising Age’s fifth annual Hispanic Fact Pack includes data about marketers’ 2007 ad spending by company and category, demographic trends, and rankings of top TV, radio, newspaper, magazine and online media. Expanded information on digital media and how it is used by Hispanics is included. Ad Age’s exclusive ranking of the top 50 U.S. Hispanic agencies for the first time includes non-Hispanic agencies that report a significant amount of Hispanic business.
