The modern Hispanic is an internet savvy one.
A Pew Research report last year found that “more than three-in-four (78%) Latinos say they use the internet or send or receive email at least occasionally.”
Some companies ? like McDonald’s and Dunkin Donuts ? have tapped into that with online engagement tailored to the Hispanic audience, with social media campaigns like Me Encanta and @DunkinLatino.
Now one group is honoring the best in technology, business, health and education for Hispanics.
LATISM (Latinos In Social Media) is one of the largest non-profit groups making sure that Hispanics are accurately portrayed and covered in social media. It’s honoring those in the Latino cyber world with “The Best Of The Best In Cyberlandia 2014.”
As part of their #LATISM14 event in California this week, LATISM compiled nominees for every category — and voting is now open.
“It is a long LATISM tradition to pay tribute to the most talented Latinos in tech innovation and social media and to celebrate their achievements at our national conference,” wrote LATISM in their announcement.
They announced the finalist — where else — on social media, on Facebook and Twitter.
Finalists included areas of interest such as politics:
