Warner Bros
Warner Bros´Super Mario Bros movie has smashed box office records, with Hispanic audiences playing a pivotal role in its success. Despite representing 20% of the U.S. population, Hispanics contributed a remarkable 41% of the U.S. box office opening. This significant contribution underscores the immense buying power and critical importance of the Hispanic market to the entertainment industry. With a substantial and growing portion of the U.S. population, the collective purchasing power of Hispanics is considerable. A generally younger demographic, Hispanics are more likely to engage in activities like moviegoing. Larger family units often translate to more movie tickets sold per outing. Hispanics have a higher index for movie consumption, frequenting theaters more than other demographic groups. The Hispanic market is rapidly expanding, suggesting an increasing influence on future box office trends. An inclusive approach to movie releases is not just beneficial but essential. Organizations like CULTURE+ GROUP, CIEN+, Choice, and CulturIntel understand and leverage this demographic’s power, ensuring that entertainment products are inclusive and representative. Their strategic focus on inclusivity is crucial for achieving success in today’s diverse market.
At this exclusive event on September 19, 2024 brand decision-makers and marketing service suppliers will share and accelerate knowledge on crucial topics, including multicultural marketing, e-commerce marketing, and leveraging marketing technologies.

OnePlus
Marcel Campos, Director of Integrated Marketing Campaigns at OnePlus North America, directs most of his marketing budget to target the tech-savvy consumer. “Smartphone marketing to tech-savvy consumers requires very detailed content in the messaging. We decided to talk to them through social media,” says Campos. The social networks he employs include IG, TikTok, and Facebook. “A big focus is on Youtubers,” where OnePlus is present through advertising and content creators/influencers. OnePlus uses two types of influencers. On the one hand, tech influencers. On the other hand, it employs influencers who are not techy “to expand a bit more out of the tech wizard segment and show a different side of the product,” Campos maintains. In addition to social media, OnePlus also utilizes social news aggregation site Reddit and in-app mobile game advertising, as these channels efficiently target the tech-savvy consumer. CTV is also part of the mix, with ad platform MNTN enabling precise targeting. Segmentation objectives include the Hispanic consumer. The OEM also partners with some retailers, like Best Buy, on co-op advertising campaigns. “We use a strong CRM platform to manage it all,” he asserts.
