Cingular spent $5.08 million in Hispanic newspapers (both FSI and ROP) in 2006, according to Portada Ad-tracking. Total advertising for Cingular in 2006 was more than $1.3 billion. In other words, only 0.39% of Cingular’s advertising spending was devoted to Hispanic newspapers. What would a reasonable ratio be? Given Hispanic purchasing power and demographic representation in the U.S., a reasonable figure would be 10%  ($51 million) of Cingular’s general market newspaper ad spending (or a corresponding Hispanic newspaper advertising/ total advertising ratio of  3.8%). According to this model, Cingular should increase its Hispanic print allocation by $45.8 million.

A similar line of thought derives that Citibank should increase its Hispanic print allocation by $ 4.72 million and General Motors by $ 54.2 million. (see detailed box below)
