Let’s talk about a powerhouse demographic that’s shaking up the advertising game: Hispanic women. They’re not just making waves; they’re practically running the show when it comes to consumer behavior and cultural trends. So, buckle up as we explore why targeting Hispanic women should be at the top of your advertising agenda.

Hispanic women aren’t just calling the shots on major household purchases: You can find them in the highest spending brackets for luxury items ranging from Cosmetics/Perfumes, Clothing, and Fine Jewelry to Auto¹. They buy for themselves and for their families, for all occasions.

Now, here’s a fun fact: Hispanic women love their radio. Whether they’re tuning in for music or catching up on the latest news, radio is where they spend their time. And that’s music to the ears of advertisers looking to connect with this audience, where they’re 2x more likely to be listening to Rhythmic/Top 40 stations². Family is always first for Hispanic Women, and it’s no surprise that it’s also their top Podcast Genre.

Let’s talk culture. Hispanic women take pride in their heritage, and they want to see themselves represented in the media they consume. So, if you want to win them over, you’ve got to speak their language—both literally and figuratively. Embrace their cultural identity, and you’ll earn their trust and loyalty. 

With the demand for Spanish-language content on the rise, advertisers have a golden opportunity to reach Hispanic women in a meaningful way. Take a cue from stations like Power96 in Miami, where they speak not only “Spanglish”, but a newly recognized dialect: “Miami English” (It’s real, Google it). Claudia Menegus, Audacy’s Regional President, underscores the importance of authenticity when reaching key audiences such as Hispanic women

Let’s not forget about politics. Hispanic women aren’t just flexing their consumer muscle; they have become a major political force, as their registered voter numbers have surged by 1.6 million since 2019³. With their growing influence in key states like Florida, advertisers and candidates have a chance to get in on the action and make their voices heard. Lourdes Ubieta, of Radio Libre on Audacy, shares insights on the voting behaviors of Hispanic women.

So, there you have it — Hispanic women are the real MVPs of the advertising world. Their economic clout, media savvy, and cultural pride make them a force to be reckoned with. By understanding and embracing the importance of Hispanic women, advertisers can unlock new opportunities for success and make a lasting impact in today’s diverse marketplace.
